Rec. your dyson

I really want to get a great vaccum and it looks like dyson may be the way to go.  There are some great deals on them coming up on black friday.  Does anyone have the DC14 or DC17 all floors?  Or which do you love?  Thanks ladies!

Re: Rec. your dyson

  • oh yeah I should say I have carpet, tile, wood floors and lots of pet hair!

  • I'm not sure which we have but it's the Dyson for animal's - it has a purple canister and i LOVE IT.

    I have a cocker spaniel and her hair doesn't get stuck.  We have hardwod floors, carpet, area rugs and lynolium and never had a problem. 

    My only problem is that I'm forever having to clean up her hair so I'm always emptying the canister and I still see the hair tumbleweed making it's way down the hallway. 

  • I just got the Dyson DC 25 Animal and absolutely love it.  We have a kitty and it is amazing how much of her hair gets picked up in the rugs.  You won't be disappointed.

  • I got the pet dyson vacuum cleaner like others! LOVE it! We got it over labor day weekend when it was on sale. Let me tell you, home depot is the way to go! We tried Best buy, kohl's, target, etc...they all were discounted merely like 50 bucks to 100 bucks. This vacuum costs $599.00. At home depot we got it right under 350 dollars, brand new! It was just at the right time. Home Depot's website currently shows the price tag of $438.00 (internet special). But I bet you that the price will drop over a sale weekend, like Black Friday. 

     I never thought to check out Home Depot until we stumbled upon it! 

  • I know Target will have some on sale on Black Friday. Marked down to 399.00 for the Animal (I have the animal ball and LOVE it)

  • get the dyson, for sure! I don't know which model we have, but we've had it for 4 years and we've never had problems with it. We have 3 dogs, tile, carpet, wood, and stairs.
  • I was blessed (hahaha) with the Dyson Animal (original, not the one with the ball) in 2006 and it still works like a charm!! With multiple attachments and just like new suction, it is worth the investment. I have two dogs and one cat.. so I looking for a pet-hair solution when choosing a vacuum. The entire bottom floor of my home is hard surface and the bare floor setting on the Dyson works great even though it is a full size vacuum. I could go on for days about the awesome-ness of my vacuum... :)

    I got mine at Bed, Bath & Beyond and was able to use a 20% coupon. While the coupon did say that it could not be used with Dyson products, the cashier said that it could still be used (you may want to ask your local bbb).

  • DC 25 animal and I'm OBSESSED with it! Nothing makes you feel like you've been living in filth all along quite like the 1st time you empty the Dyson canister - shudder

    This happened to me last night!! DH and I went to BB&B to buy a Dyson with some of our wedding giftcards and I brought along three 20% off coupons to use on other stuff we were also buying at the same time- we didn't even realize until we got in the car and looked at our receipt that she used one of the coupons on the Dyson- we saved $100!! I was incredibly stoked. If I'd known we'd save a hundred bucks, we would have bought the Animal ball instead (just bc I like purple better than orange, hahaha). 

    But, yes, I am now obsessed with my Dyson. I've wanted one for years, and now I finally have one. DH is totally on board with it now too- he was grumbling about spending so much $ on a vacuum cleaner, until we unpacked it and I used it last night. We were both shocked at how much crap it picked up from our carpets. I love it.

  • I have the DC 14 all floors and it is great. I've used the pet ones but I didn't really see a difference to be honest. I've also used the ball one and while it was fun I don't see it being worth the extra money.

  • Something to consider with Dyson.  Because the suction is so great, it may void carpet warranties.  It started destroying my neighbors new carpet after about 6 months.  When they complained to the carpet company (a good company), they said they wouldn't replace because of the vacuum.  I don't know for sure, but I don't think they bought 'cheap' carpet- she said she didn't.  Anyway, if you'd be worried about this, you may want to check before you buy.

  • I have laminate, carpet and linoleum and I use my Dyson on all of them. I absolutely adore it. I have the purple animal version. I reaaalllllllyyyyy want the handheld version.

    Just remember to clean it every few months according to the owner's manual. It keeps the suction going strong.

  • I can't recommend a dyson. Our 5 year old dyson lost suction. It would cost $150 to fix it. Therefore, we're just going to get a new vac.
