Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2005Dyson "Animal" vacuum
I am going to buy the purple "Dyson" this weekend and was wondering if anyone here has any experience with Dysons. I have 2 long-haired cats and they shed daily. Lots of hair! The reason I want a Dyson is because it doesn't lose suction power overtime. I am getting the purple "animal" with all the attachments. I think there are 2 "Animal" types -- DC07 and the DC14 and I think the only difference is the attachments? the motor is the same on the yellow, red and purple? Anyone? Also, was wondering if the attachments have a crevice hose type thing to get into sofas, etc. I have read on the Net that everyone loves these vacuums although Consumer Reports gave Dyson a bad rating for cleaning. A coworker told me that there are no beater brushes and the attachment to clean your furniture is not very good.

Hope you will try one first. Thought I wanted a Dyson until I tried one at a local store and found it unbelievably heavy - this may not matter to some of you but my back needs the lightest possible vacuum which will pick up cat hair.............Lorna >>I am going to buy the purple "Dyson" this weekend and was wondering if >> anyone here has any experience with Dysons. I have 2 long-haired cats [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] > some of you but my back needs the lightest possible vacuum which will pick > up cat hair.............Lorna Lorna is correct. These are very heavy machines. That is not a problem for me because I live in a single-story house and do not have to lift the vacuum, but it would be *very* heavy to haul around if you needed to go up or down stairs. On the other hand, it has very large wheels and easily maneuvers if you can simply roll it from one area to another (as I can).

I have one (the purple model you mentioned), and I love it! It is very sturdy, easy to clean (just lift the cannister out, pull the release button to empty it, then snap the bottom back into place and put it back on the machine), and has a heavy-duty extension so that the vacuum will remain in place while you work on furniture. Yes, it does have a crevice tool. More important, it has an awesome rotating brush to use on furniture or other places where pet fur accumulates. They are pricey and come in jarringly-ugly colors, but I wouldn't give mine up for anything. I previously had both a Hoover and a Panasonic, and this one cleans rings around my other vacuums. It works well on both carpet and hard floors, and it is self-adjusting so the user doesn't have to "set" anything to move from one type of flooring to another. The only thing I don't like is the cord. It is very long (and that's good), but it is not as flexible as the ones on some vacuums; so it sometimes doesn't coil as nicely as I would like. That's a minor defect, though. Where are you getting yours? I got mine at Sears because they have a price-match policy. I located the best price I could find on the Internet, printed a copy of the page, and Sears matched the price. I also noticed that Consumer Reports gave it a blah rating. I can't really explain it because I have found this to be an incredibly effective machine. I also read reviews in www.epinions.com before I bought mine, and there are some glowing reports there.

I only can go on what I have read, but Consumer Reports rated the Hoover Wind-Tunnel #1 and I read that people vacuumed with the "Wind-Tunnel" and then vacuumed the same area (rug) with the Dyson, and a whole canister of "junk" was picked up. So, I don't know. I don't subscribe to CR online or in the mail, but that is just what I have read. I think the Dyson weighs 18 lbs.? I live on 1 floor, so no lifting up stairs. I was asking about the furniture tool. Is there a rotating brush? Someone told me that it wasn't really a brush, but rather just an air vacuum thingy. No brushes. That concerned me. > > "yepp" <nodot@.com> wrote in message > news:crqdnTb1_dGBCOffRVn-jw@rcn.net...

However, this is where you see some of the major price differences in what will otherwise look like the same Dyson model. It comes in different configurations with different cleaning tools provided. Be sure to get the model that includes the rotating brush (which is actually called a "mini turbine tool"). It's well worth the price difference. Incidentally, I mentioned the Sears price-match in an earlier message. I saved almost $100.00 by going online for the best price, then using that to get the same price from Sears. I also checked Best Buy. Their price was similar to the price listed by Sears, but they did not have a price-match policy. MaryL > > Thanks for the feedback Mary...

I simply went to the Internet and typed "Dyson vacuum cleaners" (without the quotation marks) in the address bar. Numerous locations popped up, and I spent some time checking through for best prices. You will also need to include the cost of shipping because Sears will reduce the price match by that amount since you would have had to pay shipping costs if you ordered online. If you go to this location, you can see a picture of the rotating brush for pet hair: http://www.vacandsew.com/dyson_frame.htm MaryL > > Where did you get the best price?

The thing about Dyson and Sony is you can't get a better price. If you buy a re-conditioned vacuum or re-furbished, you will save $50, but take a chance. Dyson's sell the same everywhere from what I was told. I did a price comparison and they are the same price everywhere. I will buy locally and don't pay shipping. >> >> Where did you get the best price? I am looking at $549.99. >> > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > I will buy locally and don't pay shipping. Not true. Dyson's have the same place *most* places, but there are exceptions (and I saved almost $100.00). If you look at the link I gave you, the price there is $499.99 with free shipping. Some other sites are less, but you really have to look for it. Then you can use that price and still shop locally (which I also prefer) by using that for the price match. I am talking about new units, not refurbished or reconditioned. MaryL > >> >> Where did you get the best price? I am looking at $549.99. > >> > [quoted text clipped - 23 lines] > > MaryL Yes, the "Animal 07" is $499 everywhere. There is another "Animal 14" ($549.99) which inlcude some warranty and guarantee that costs $50.00 more. 3 more years or something. There is no price break on Dyson. I have searched the Net for a week and asked about prices and the only way you can save is to buy on Amazon the re-furbished one for $50 less. I did Froogle and checked all the sites. >I will buy locally and don't pay shipping. We all pay shipping no matter where you buy its just not broken out at department stores......but I'm with you on buying locally whenever possible.......small ones when possible....hardware stores......music shops.......appliance shops.......are all going OOB and its a shame I support them when I can especially the hardware store think about it the next time you go to Home Depot or one of the big guys......walk into a hardware store looking for a hard to find bolt or screw or fastener of some time and the employee spends ten minutes with you for a item under a dollar.......we gotta support those people........climbing down from my soapbox..........not sure where that came from but do buy locally and small when you can afford it........

You have to be very careful about reviews from people who own them find some independent sites that rate them from tests maybe Consumer Reports screwed this one up it can happen.

For the same cost you can get a German made Miele (canister w/ electric powerhead and HEPA filtration- forget about attachments that are "air driven", no matter who makes them, as they are worthless.) It comes with a standard 7 year warranty on the motor. I've had mine for 8 or 9 years and, even after accidentally vacuuming up a large bowl of water (I dropped the hose in it) it still runs like new and the suction is the most powerful of the vacuums I've seen. For furniture, the original Dirt Devil classic is the way to go and has a belt driven brush roll so it works like an upright and really gets hair off. They're hard to find, but available online: http://www.dirtdevil.com/Products/Hand_Vacs/M08100RED.asp Don't waste your money on the newer model with the detachable head. That is also "air driven" and is a piece of garbage.

Does any of the Buropeans here have any experience with the Kärcher Ds 5500? It's one of those with a water tank instead of a bag, and supposed to be especially good for cleaning out allergens, so I was thinking maybe it's especially good for sucking up cat hair? I don't mind the hair myself, but when you're renting, it's good form to keep the flat somewhat tidy. ;o) My old vacuum died immediately after the warranty ran out, and I think it died because of cat hair somewhere in the machinery. :oP It had two different filters that could be changed, but it didn't help to change them. The manufacturers claim that this model can't get clogged because of the water tank, but I'm sceptical. It's very expensive, but if it's good I'm prepared to pay.

Not sure if we have a specimen machine somewhere around, but I'll find out about that too. I'll find out more and get back to you.

I didn't realise you people sold vacuums, too. We sell anything you can find in a K-rauta or Rautia hardware store. Of course the merchants don't have to buy everything from us, but as long as they belong to the chain, they have to have certain items. And they do buy a lot from us anyway.
