I have the said Dyson pet hoover. I bought it not long after i got Bailey. The best purchase i have made - besides Bailey of course :wink:

The only thing i find with it is the embarrassment factor - i can't believe just how much it picks up every day!!!

 

Hi Julie

I would highly recommend the animal dyson I bought mine 2 years ago and it took me about a year & a trip to the dyson stand at Crufts for a demo to work out how the turbo attachment worked for the stairs but now I know how to use it it's fab.
Would never go for another hoover again. Before this one I had the hoover pets but this wasn't a patch on the dyson.
Only drawback I suppose is seeing all the fur in that see through container, but it did answer my life long question of what happens to spiders when you hoover them up!

Dyson for me too,i would not buy anything else.

 

Grrrr the Dyson I got was rubbish...lol I brought an electrolux one and it is brilliant...

Cristina

 

We have a Dyson (not the animal) and it's brilliant

 

We've got an older Dyson. Corbie's started to moult now and i was laying on the lounge floor with him and noticed the carpet had a dark brown haze to it :lol:

One hoover of that carpet filled the dyson 8O Boy, I'm surprised he's got any fur left :lol:

 

I think it must be their age Karen - Harvey is moulting a lot as well. Black hairs on a cream sofa 8O

 

I have Dyson too, not animal but brill nevertheless............wouldn't change it for anything.

Tilly is moulting for England too...Yellow fur on black sofa's... tish didn't think this through very well did we?

lol seems we don't think very much but then they are cute, fur and all

 

Hi Julei & all...

I have a dyson too, we dont have many carpets, but if you get the hard floor one it picks up everything on the wooden floors too. couldnt go back to a hoover when i see what it sucks up from the floor with with two of them. Also it has the hepa filter so its good for allergies.

 

I have a Dyson Animal and it does the job perfectly out carpets are really thick as well and it manages to get all of hersheys hair up and also on the laminat efloor as well

I recommend the Dyson Animal...

 

Hello Julie


I have a Dyson animal and in my opinion you just can't beat them.

How I ever managed before I got it I will never know :roll:

The only thing I don't have at the moment is one of those gizmos for hoovering the dog :lol: Sad I know but I bet you they are cool 8)

I dread the day coming when it needs to be repaired Anyone any ideas.

Hi Julie
i also have the I have a Dyson animal and in my opinion you just can't beat them.
and with 3 labradors it does make short work of all those dog hairs and yes all 3 of them are shedding hairs like there no tomorrow lol

 

I had a dyson that was great for aout 2 years. When I first got it, the suction was so good that I found it difficult to push along!

2 years down the line and the suction is now rubbish. I have replaced the filters and cleaned out any blockages. I am disappointed after spending quite a lot of money.

The next vacuum I bought is a Morphy Richards Ultralight. It is about a third of the price of a dyson and came with a Turbo brush and is really light to carry around. It does not seem as robust as the dyson but at that price, who cares.

The only problem I have is that it is so light that sometimes when i use the hose stretched out, it can topple over. I have had a few whacks on the arm and back and head from it - I'm sure it is possessed :twisted:

 

I would swear by the LG Bagless cyclinda vacuum cleaner. There one around about £130. Its value for money and has a higher suction power than Dyson though does lose a bit of suction when the filter gets full. It does have HEPA filtration too. A lot cheaper than Dyson!

I have also recently purchased the PET VAX that is a two in one Wet / Dry Cleaner & Carpet Washer. It washes carpets fantastically and has a special turbo pet brush for pet hairs. In hindsight I could have just bought this alone but on the downside it is bagged. But good value for money and saves on getting the carpet cleaners in!

 

Our dyson recently broke - and we seeing as we dont have many carpets in the house - we went for a smaller one called the Allergy IQ which is for pets. It has no bag like the dyson, has a HEPA filter, and has a brilliant turbo head which is great on the carpets, sofas and even the car! It was only £90 whic his far cheaper than a Dyson.

 

We have a Dyson too, not the pet hair version, because we got it a couple of years ago just before they came out. We have all wooden/tiled floors downstairs and only carpets upstairs. It seems to do the trick wonderfully. Only thing is that Barney likes to play chase with the cleaner when you're doing the floor. He reverses around the house growling. Quite funny to watch. He has let us actually give him a brush with the fabric fitment which did bring off lots of the loose fur.

I'm sure that fur coats are going out of fashion for dogs at the moment because we seem to have a good thick layer on the floor every day! :lol: :lol:

 

[align=justify:a8589c140e]On the subject of good vacuum cleaners, I was recommended to buy a Sebo, which is a German manufacturer and you can buy them in John Lewis etc. It is not only a very good vacuum cleaner, but is also quiet too! I've got both the upright model and a cylinder model and they are both excellent in picking up hair and the cylinder model gets into awkward places.[/align:a8589c140e]

 

I have had the slimline Dyson (the DC03) for some years now and it has always done the job well. The capacity could be bigger though.

 

Hoovers

A couple of months late, but I've only recently joined and am still finding my way around! I swear by Sebo hoovers, it's the most powerful dog hair sucking machine I've ever come across!

 

I had an older Dyson (the De Stihl) until I got Oscar...then I treated myself to the Dyson Animal and I think its wonderful

Just one thing....how come a short haired labrador can produce such vast quantities of hair when my long haired cocker leaves no hair anywhere :? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

i agree that the dyson animal is an excellent vacuum cleaner, but, if you already have a vacuum cleaner that is good enough, there is no point in splurging out on the dyson animal!

hi

We bought the Dyson Animal (DC07) not long after getting Hally. Although expensive, we found cheaper hoovers a false economy because they lost their power quite quickly, plus we needed to constantly hunt out getting new bags.

We find it absolutely brilliant for cleaning the carpets, and hairs on the laminate and tiles we simply use the tube with no end on it.

There are however (IMO) a couple of downsides to the Dyson which it might be worth mention. Our Animal is not the upright, and can be messy to empty, suffering from quite a few allergies, getting the knack of doing it took some time.

The Dyson works so well because in addition to the clyclone sucking power, one of the carpet ends has powerful rotating brushes, these become clogged up quite quickly (particularly if you have long haired teenagers in the house), and despite regular cleaning, it definitely doesn't work as well these days, although all is not lost as the other head is more than effective on my new carpet.

In addition, one of the filters needs to be washed roughly every 6 months, or contrary to the adverts it will lose power.

With teenagers being regular visitors to our house, we also bought a Bissell carpet cleaner, which tends to get an outing the night before we go on holiday when Hally is in kennels.

Hope this helps - we paid £260 for Dyson, but it has lasted about 3 times as long as the three £80 vacuums we owned before getting Hally.
