Which dyson do you have?

jewelsonu · January 2010

I am pretty sure we are finally getting a dyson. We are on the 3rd vacuum since being married(5 years). They just lose suction and we know there should be more Morgan hair in the canister. We went to sears and I tried out the dc14 and dc 24? The 14 is just a regular vacuum and according to the dyson website has more suction power. I really didn't like the ball one. It just felt weird but probably b/c i'm not used to it. I'll take any recs.

We have the D14 and love it. We have had it for 4 years and it's the best. We did end up buying the pet hair attachment later on, but got if off ebay for like $5. It makes doing the furniture a breeze. HTH

I have the basic one...the yellow one. I love it although I think we bought a defunked one because it's always had an issue. I'm going to try to get it fixed and then if I can't I'm getting a new one.

But I do love them. Cleans soooo well! This was years ago but my nephew threw up on my carpet. I cleaned it up , well after my brother clean up the vomit...I don't do that. hahaha. But I finished the job, soaking, scrubbing etc. It finally looked clean.

Months later we got the Dyson and I cleaned that rug....guess what it pulled up? Yup....pink flecks of his vomit. I was so grossed out and will never ever not use a Dyson.

I have the dc24 or 25.. I forget which.. whichever one is slightly bigger.. And its a ball one.. I love how its small and light.. but its currently not working properly. I have to take it to get fixed..

Get an animal one with the attachments..

I have the Kenmore Progressive. I've had it for 2 or 3 years and haven't lost any suction. It's CR rated higher than the Dyson and half the price.

We have the 14....it has the same motor as the animal, just doesn't have the extra attachments. I love it, however it does not pick up (dog hair) well on Berber. I hate Berber anyways and we will soon be getting new plush carpet!

I have the basic yellow one- I think it's the "all floors" model. I love it- we've had it for 5 years and it's still going strong.

I want a dyson so bad! I even asked for one for Christmas, but didn't get one Maybe for my birthday?!

I would get the animal, if I bought one.

Same here- love it and no issues in over 5 years.

I have the animal and I love it. All I have to compare it to was a cheapy $75 one, though.

We have the ball one. No issues in a year and a half or so. Check out amazon.com for refurbished ones. They come with the same warranty, just lots cheaper. We got ours for 139.

We have the Animal and LOVE it!! We have had it for about 2 years and have had no issues with it.

We have the older model Animal with the ball. We bought the floor model at BBB when they were switching to the new one, and got it on mega sale, plus %10 off for being the last one, and the 20% off coupon. Best.deal.ever.

Some of my friends have purchased refurbished ones off woot.com and love them as well.

I really like the ball. It makes the vacuum feel less bulky to me, and I can control it better. It might take some getting used to, but it's my favorite part about the Dysons.

We have the Dyson Animal and LOVE IT! I believe its the one made for pet hair. I have long hair and two dogs who shed. Before the Dyson we had to buy a new vacuum every year and now as long as we keep the roller clear its amazing! I highly recommend it!

We have the Animal (not the ball Animal) -- I'm not sure what the model # is. It has great suction, but I've had some problems with it. I need to take it for repair somewhere, not sure where...

jewelsonu · January 2010

What is so different about the animal? The suction for the animal is 225 compared to 250 for the basic one and the yellow one has a larger bin. We have a central vac system in the house so I already have all the tools to clean furniture. It just is horrible on carpet.

badtzmaru22 · January 2010

I think the attachments are different on the Animal vs. Regular.

FWIW (in regards to a pp), pretty much the only reason Consumer Reports doesn't like the Dyson is the price, not the quality, and there are ways to get deals on them, so I wouldn't worry about that. It sounds like you're already sold on the brand, and just deciding between models.
