The Dyson DC41 Animal Complete falls short

This high-end vacuum did great in our performance tests, but it still left us disappointed. Let us explain why.

The ; cleans like you'd expect it to given the high price tag. The clever Tangle-free Turbine and its many other brush attachments give it an added layer of functionality for more-flexible housecleaning.

Dyson is renowned for its design, but maybe it shouldn't be -- this vacuum suffers from several baffling build oversights.

You don't need to pay $649 to own a vacuum that cleans at this level, and if you are paying that much, you deserve a machine with a better design than this.

Dyson DC41 Animal Complete review

When you think of Dyson, you probably think: "ingenious design." I know I do. Its products are modern, sophisticated, and undeniably cool. Just look at the Dyson Airblade, one of the most appealing cooling apparatuses ever made. A brilliant idea,...

Dyson DC41 Animal

Solid build and high performance, but with an even higher price tag

Efficient with electricity usage; Ideal for short carpets or hardwood floors

Difficult to use on high-pile carpets; Cleaner head takes up lot of space

Dyson DC41 Mk2 Animal

Perfect for pet owners... If you can stomach the price

Powerful and manoeuvrable ; Comprehensive set of accessories ; Outstanding pet hair removal ; Great stair-cleaning features

Price

Great overall performance, fabulous tools and easy manoeuvrability make the DC41 Animal one of the very best upright cleaners money can buy, whether you have pets or not. The only sharp intake of breath is that hefty price tag.

Dyson DC 41

Dyson continues to roll out, no pun intended, its new ball technology to the 2012 range of vacuum cleaners. The hope being you'll get your cleaning done even quicker than before. But is the Dyson DC41 - the new flagship model - up to the task, or is it...

Small, compact, lightweight, powerful,

Not much

We are really impressed with the cleaning performance of the Dyson DC41. It coped well with our house, alarmingly managing to fill half a bucket, even though we had cleaned with our previous vacuum (also a Dyson) a couple of days earlier. In fact Mrs...
