I bought this after my last dyson finally stopped after 10 years. This model is flimsy and was broken after the first two weeks. I have very long hair, and my hair always ends up in the vaccumms. The roller bar on the front of the vac stopped working after two uses, and after two weeks the device lost suction. This is not a full size vac. The dirt canister is tiny and needs to be emptied often. The cord is short and the wand is awkward. This is the worst vac I have ever owned. Home Depot took it back, because they are awesome, but this vac is horrible.
Cons: Not Durable
No, I do not recommend this product.

Don't let the size of this machine fool you....it's awesome! I have gone through a series of Dyson-wannabes and they all were horrible! And very expensive to change filters and parts. This machine has washable filters, easy to empty and works like a BIG machine! I love it..... even the high price was worth it! I guess you get what you pay for!
Pros: Easy to Clean, Easy to Use, High Quality, Easy to Install, Good Size & Weight, Nice Design
Cons: not enough accessories
Yes, I recommend this product.

I have only had the Dyson for a few weeks, but I love the powerful suction it has. It is taking stuff out of my carpet that I didn't know was there. It is lightweight, which makes it a bit awkward to steer. My husband thinks it is not sturdy, but I think it is because he is used to heavy vacuums. My biggest issue is the small size of the dirt canister. It needs to be emptied after doing 2 rooms. I do have 2 pets who shed a lot. The vacuum I had before would probably go 6-8 rooms before needing to be emptied, but it also did not do anywhere near the job the Dyson is doing. When you need to empty the canister it is so easy, just place canister over a trash can, push a button and empty. No mess at all. Love that the handle is connected to the hose to use tools - very convenient and the compact size makes it easy to store away.
Pros: Easy to Clean, Easy to Use, Good Size & Weight
Cons: small dirt canister
Yes, I recommend this product.

I love my new Dyson Animal. The amount of hair & dirt I picked up the first time I vacuumed was amazing. I can't believe my carpet has been hiding all that dirt!! Plus, it was lightweight & easy to maneuver. I'm thrilled I made the choice to move to a Dyson!!!

PROS:
1) The SIZE and WEIGHT are very convenient.
2) SUCTION is excellent; the machine does a great job of getting ground-in (as fine as powder) dirt out of rugs.
3) The FILTERS seem to help remove very small particles from the air.
4) The OVERALL DESIGN and CONSTRUCTION are amazing.

2) SUCTION is excellent; the machine does a great job of getting ground-in (as fine as powder) dirt out of rugs.
3) The FILTERS seem to help remove very small particles from the air.
4) The OVERALL DESIGN and CONSTRUCTION are amazing.
CONS:
1) The CORD is TOO SHORT (it is only 20" and it needs to be 35' as is the case with the larger Dyson vacuums)
2) The INSTRUCTIONS are TERRIBLE. Surely something that costs this much and has this kind of technology behind it can have a decent set of instructions. There are no written instructions--just line drawings that, in some cases, are difficult to decipher.
3) The WASTE COLLECTION CONTAINER is POORLY DESIGNED. If one is not very careful, one can dump the contents of the waste container while in the process of trying to remove the container from the machine. A short downward push on the release button allows the container to disengage; a stronger downward push on the same button opens the bottom of the container and allows the waste to spill out onto the machine and the floor/carpet.
4) Be aware that the design of this machine will not allow it to go UNDERNEATH BEDS, unless they are raised rather high off the floor.

Very light weight and does a great job. Not too loud but my dog still barks at it. The only thing I don't like is the cord should be longer and the hose attachment isn't very long for getting cob webs on the celing corners. Other than that it's a cute very good working vacuum.
Pros: Cleans Edges/Corners Well, Easy to Use, Performs Well, Looks Great, Good for All Surfaces, Quiet, Strong Suction, Good Size & Lightweight, Easy to Empty Filter
Cons: Cord Length

No one really enjoys vacuuming, but this machine goes a long way in minimizing the work and hassle. This is a light machine that is easy to push around, about 1/3 the weight of the last premium bag-less (non-Dyson) we used. Great suction on both carpets and floors and a snap to empty and keep clean. We particularly like the design and operation of the wand, which gets into the hard to clean places easily. Some reviewers have complained about the 20 foot power cord not being long enough, but we decided pass on paying $100 more for a 35 foot cord and heavier machine. This is a superbly designed and crafted vacuum with high quality materials that should last us a long time.
Pros: Durable, Easy to Clean, Lots of Features, Easy to Use, Sturdy, High Quality, Easy to Install, Good Size & Weight, Nice Design
Yes, I recommend this product.

I have owened a Dyson prior to this one that I purchased. It works well, however, I was disappointed on the size of this model. It is a much smaller unit than the ones you see in the store, It would be good for someone that finds the larger ones to be a bit to heavy for them. Shame on me for just looking at the picture. Fortunately, the area I am using this one for is a smaller one. The holding tank is small and needs to be emptied every time you vacuum. I still love Dysons, but truly this vacuum for it's size was overpriced. I would only recommend this vacuum if you can get it for a lesser price, for a small area or needing something lightweight yet powerful.
Pros: Durable, Easy to Clean, Easy to Use, lightweight
Cons: not very big holding area, use of accessories not convenient
Yes, I recommend this product.

I absolutely love this vacuum cleaner. It is by far the best one I have ever used. It's lightweight (I carried it upstairs with two fingers, literally), super easy to maneuver around furniture, REALLY strong suction (you should have seen the crud it pulled out of my carpets), simple and elegant design, relatively quiet (quieter than my last upright that didn't clean nearly as well), telescoping handle so it fits easily in my short linen closet... I was hesitant to spend this much money on a vacuum cleaner but now I'm thrilled I did. This thing is perfect. I can't believe I am this excited about a vacuum cleaner, but I am.
Yes, I recommend this product.

This is the second Dyson Animal I have purchased from Home Depot since last year. This purchase is a Christmas gift and a surprise and I know the recipient will be thrilled to recieve this. It was made affordable by the Home Depot pricing, not the first place one would think to shop for a vacuum. It is heavy but you would never know it when pushing it as with the ball technology you really only turn your wrist to direct the vacuum.
I am amazed each time I use it and wonder where all the dirt comes from.
So HD is not just for building supplies and hardware. Check them out in the store and online and I did purchase it online with free shipping.

I bought 3 of these- one for myself, one for my elderly in-laws and one for my elderly parents. This is the perfect sweeper for them- lightweight- it doesn't wear them out to use it- works great- quick and easy. My parents are in their 80's and they love using this sweeper. I also love it for sweeping my kitchen floors and having handy. We have a rainbow sweeper and central vac in our home, but this is so much faster, easier and works great. This is the perfect sweeper for an elderly person that is still active and wants to be able to do things around the house. My parents and in-laws both love their DC24 Animal Dyson Sweeper.
Pros: Easy to Use, Good Size & Weight, Easy to Clean

This is my first Dyson. I'll be honest, I've never spent so much on a vacuum before. Dyson lives up to the hype. I love the design and ease of use. The suction could be better, but a bigger engine would make the unit heavier and I truly appreciate the lightweight design. It's also very easy to clean!

We bought a Bissell 'Healthy Home' Vacuum a little over a year ago & I found that it has already lost a significant amount of suction. We have mostly hardwood floors throughout our home, & 3 rooms with brand new carpets. The Bissell seems to blow the dirt, dust, & pet hair around the wood floors & barely picks up anything off the carpets. I vacuumed this morning with the Bissell, thoroughly, one last time. I then went over the same areas with the Dyson Animal. They call this thing an animal for a reason. It's a beast! I was disgusted at what was left behind by the Bissell. We have a large dog that mainly stays in the den/kitchen area. I was amazed at the hair & dirt my Dyson picked up. I have twin 15-month old girls. We do not wear our shoes throughout the house, especially in their bedrooms. The amount of dirt on their carpet was scary. I put it together in all of 5 minutes. It is so light-weight & easy to use around the house. My 1 complaint is that the cord is a little short. I'm not lazy, so it isn't that big of a deal to plug & unplug for each room. I still give this machine 5 stars. Thank you, James Dyson!

After reading many reviews and hearing that the cord is short, but, the overall performance is outstanding, I agree 100%. However, the short cord does not have a negative impact on me whatsoever as I have a habit of simply plugging the item in whatever room I am currently working on (so i don't get tangled or trip over it...LOL).

Let's start ot by saying I've owned many vacuums from many manufacturers and the Dyson is not a "wonder vacuum" by any means. As a test I took my Dyson after we received it and vacuumed over the area I had done with my old $125 Hoover. The Dyson did not pick up anything, meaning my Hoover was doing just fine. The Dyson does not pick up the nap of my carpet as well as my Hoover did, and we really dislike the fact that the cord is so short and that for this money the cord is not self retractable as it is on my Hoover. In my opinion, go with the Hoover and save yourself almost $200!
Pros: Durable, Easy to Use, Good Size & Weight
Cons: feels like pushing around a playskool vacuum
No, I do not recommend this product.

So far I like it, but I have only used it for a month. It picks up small pieces of wood around the fireplace really easy. You will need to read the directions to figure out how to use the wand but other than that i like the ease of vacuuming with it.

Vacuum itself picks up awesome! The hose attachment, particularly the accessories provided do not work well on a hardwood floor. I liked the set up on my previous Dyson better when it comes to the hose. Again the main vac works great. It picks up dust and dirt way better than my previous Dyson Animal. The cord is ridiculously short, I would say 1/3 the length of the cord on my previous Dyson, I constantly have to unplug and move the cord to do my entire living/dining/kitchen space. I do like the quick on/off for the rolling bristles, and the suction. I need to order a longer cord and some different attachments, which I don't appreciate when paying so much.
Yes, I recommend this product.
