For pet owners, the Animal is man's second-best friend. This sucker picked up an astonishing amount of fur from rugs that looked fairly clean at the outset,

Brush bars are accessible without tools. The 17-foot hose with mini brush bar allows for remote cleaning without lugging the whole rig around

Power button easily confused with the canister release. Entire cord must be unwound to use the wand

Dyson DC28 Animal Upright / Bagless / Silver-Purple

 

A high price tag for a vacuum, but it provides a lot of performance for the money

Strong performance on all surfaces; Simple and straightforward to use

Very noisy and energy hungry; One of the most expensive we’ve seen

Dyson DC28 Animal Review

 

The Dyson DC28 Animal is another Dyson machine made for households with pets. On average it gets very good consumer ratings. There are occasional grumblings – mostly related to the machines weight, but consumers are generally thrilled with this unit’s...

Very powerful suction- Four push-button height settings- Good at vacuuming up pet hair- Washable HEPA filter (easy to wash and re-insert)- Dirt canister is easy to empty- Good on both carpet and bare floors- Long 35 foot power cord

Heavy- Expensive- Can be hard to maneuver for some- Only room for 2 tools in on board tool storage

Consumer ratings for the Dyson DC28 Animal are provided in the table below and indicate, for the most part, significant satisfaction with the machine. In this case the outlier seems to be Amazon where reviews are a little lower than the average.

Dyson DC18 Slim All-Floors Cyclone Upright Vacuum Cleaner Review

 

The Dyson DC18 is a bagless, upright, HEPA vacuum cleaner. It is Dyson’s lightweight upright, weighing in at 6.7 kg (about 14.7lbs). It has most of the same features as Dyson’s heavier uprights and still delivers 200 air watts of suction power. It gets...

Very powerful- Lightweight- Dust container is easy to empty- Washable filters- Very good warranty- Small & maneuverable

No retractable cord- Dust container is a little small- Loud (a few comments on this)- Expensive- Power cord is short- Picture book manual – not well documented- Attachments of limited quality

Interestingly there are a few areas regarding the Dyson DC18 where consumers seem to disagree. The weight of the vacuum (is it heavy or light) and the maneuverability of the machine. With respect to the weight of the DC18 some folks feel it is very...

Dyson DC28 Animal

 

If you love pets, but are unhappy with an endless coating of messy pet hair on your clothes, carpets, furniture, draperies and the inside of your car, the Dyson DC28 Animal is designed with you in mind. Not only will this zap that annoying pet hair,...

This powerful bagless vacuum is especially good for picking up pet hair

This does not have the trademark Dyson ball for maneuverability

This vacuum provides great suction power, a HEPA filter and 16-foot telescopic wand.

Dyson DC28 Animal Vacuum

 

Maxell’s Encore EN-5 offer a rich, full sound for an affordable price, beating out nearly all of the headphones in the test. However, our testers didn’t think they were very comfortable, nor did this pair do a good job staying put during use....

nbsp ; Excellent sound quality ; Adjustable ; Can withstand multiple drops ; Water-resistant ; Light weight and wraps up tightly for easy portability

nbsp ; Didn’t take much force to remove the headphones during our force test ; Consumer testers didn’t find them very comfortable to wear for long periods of time ; Didn’t always stay put during use for our consumer testers

Better than I expected!

 

We have two dogs and four cats. It's a little heavy carrying the vacuum up and down the stairs, but it's definitely the best vacuum I've ever owned! It's worth it to spend $400 for a vacuum with a five year warranty than it is to have to keep buying a...

Great vacuum

 

Very happy. Had a Kirby for 20 years so I had very high expectations...the Dyson dc28 met them. Hose is a little stiff but for the little i use it its okay. Very easy to empty the canister as well. For a home with a lot of carpet its a great vacuum

Hardwood Floor Problems

 

I wish I could give a good review like the others I read before I purchased my Dyson. Unfortunately I am just about as dissatisfied as you can get. I purchased it in July and just noticed it is making fine scratches all over my hardwood floors. I only...

Great machine

 

We have a springer and she is a part of the family so this machine was just what we needed. It does a GREAT job on all floor surfaces, and no more bags to worry about. I would highly recommend this product.
