Pros: Reliable, relatively quiet, Animal tool, It's a Dyson.
Cons: Price not for everyone, Color scheme better left for a 1965 Barracuda.
Summary: In the past I have had way too many vacuum cleaners- a vacuum hoarder if you will. It's not that I collect vacuum cleaners per say, but I have always felt that if one breaks I should have at least another five or six to fall back on. Realizing that this ... read more

Light weight.
Manuvers easily.
No bags.
Slip gear on brushes.

Attachment storage or rather lack of.
Summary: Finally broke and paid a huge amount for a Dyson, and so glade I did. I hesitated for over a year cause no way could a product live up the kind of hype Dyson put out, but it did, 100%. I’ve now had mine for 4 years and love love love ... read more

Pros: Superior suction
Cons: High price
Heavy weight
Design flaws
Poor customer service
Summary: We've had our DC17 for about 9 months. It can't be beat for its cleaning ability. However, that's where my praise stops. First off, this is the second one I've owned. The first one stopped working the second time I used ... read more

Pros: Powerful vacuum even when almost full
Agressive brush system
Cons: Heavy
No handle for using unit on stairs
Summary: Our old Eureka Smart Vac died after eight years. I tried a low cost Hoover canister vac which had good vacuum but a poor brush system. So I found this on sale for $299 and thought I would try it since it has a 30 day return policy at the store. I ... read more

Pros: Lots of suction
Cons: Belt for roller brush broke within a couple of months
Summary: I previously owned a Dyson DC11, which is a canister style vacuum. It was a fine vacuum for the time I owned it before someone broke it. I eventually replaced it with the DC17 Animal upright vacuum for slightly a bit more money. There is no question ... read more

A bit heavier than some small cheap vacums.

Pros: Excellent filtration, no bags/belts/filters to buy, 5 year warranty, and well designed.
Cons: Hose can pull vacuum along, canister may have to be cleaned occasionally.
Summary: I've had this vacuum for almost a year now and thought I'd share my findings, both good and bad. Overall, I like the design and features. It has auto height so you don't have to guess what level your carpet is, and a button ... read more
