We have 5 kids & 2 dogs who shed a lot (the dogs). I am amazed how much the DC41 picks up dirt and dog hair. It never seems to lose suction and never gets plugged like our last high-end vacuum that we paid more than double for. Plus no bags to buy-thank you Dyson.
We've had it over 2 months now and not one problem or complaint about it. In fact its a fight between my wife and older kids on who gets to vacuum.

The cleaning wand needs a longer hose to reach 8-foot ceilings. The 30-foot power cord needs to be retractable. Something is needed to hold the power cord up and out of the way while in use. I had to tie mine around the handle to keep the cord out of the way. For the price I paid for this machine, it would have been nice for more tools to be included. Better instructions during setup would have been nice. The ease of emptying the machine is great. The machine was delivered within 2 days after I called my order in, Great customer service.
Pros: Easy to Clean, Easy to Use, Sturdy, Looks Great, Good Size & Weight, outstanding suction
Cons: No Instructions, Difficult to Install, needs retractable power cord.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Great suction and rotation on the powered and smaller non-Powered Heads (for pet hair, sofas etc). Attachments are so tight, they're almost impossible to separate. The attachment hose feels very unnatural as it almost implies that the vacuum body is going to tip over? I have to stretch the hose out first so as to accommodate this strangeness..I'm glad we
got it on sale for 25% off the $600 price, otherwise I have bought really nice Electric Guitars for this Price. Maybe the next one will be $900 but I'm sure it will vacuum the House by itself
or at least drive the Kids to School.....

I talked myself out of this purchase for years. I said it was too expensive and it made no sense to spend $600 on a vacuum. After my cheaper vacuum broke on two occasions and I needed to spend about $70 each time fixing it, I decided to take the plunge and spend the money. My first use I vacuumed the living room which was recently cleaned by the other unit. I was amazed at the amount of dirt it still gathered. The suction power is clearly better and they do state it has the most suction at the cleaner head. I also found it to be a very light vacuum. It was much lighter than my old unit. The ball is great for maneuvering around furniture. At this point I cannot see anything wrong with this product. The price is high and I didn't like spending that much, but it is the best vacuum I have ever used. As I have read in other reviews, I do have the same concern over the plastic parts lasting over time, but I can only assume DYSON would not have built it with cheap parts. I have no reason to doubt them!
Pros: Easy to Use, Good Size & Weight
Cons: none
Yes, I recommend this product.

Great vacuum. We have carpets as well as large tiled areas and this vacuum does a great job on both. You can shut off brushes with a push of the button and vacuum adjusts itself down to tile floor. It is exspensive but has been a work horse.

I'm telling you, this vacuum is AWESOME!! I did the same thing you are and checked out all the reviews. What I was most impressed about was how a Dyson representative was responding to some of the lesser quality comments. That really impressed me that they had someone that actually reached out to those people!!
Believe me, $600 was not just waiting on the money tree to be picked, but I bit the bullet and got it. After vacuuming my floor earlier that same morning with my old vacuum, I got home and redid it with the DC41 and the container was FULL (yes, this is the picture worth taking, YUCK)!! After I had just vacuumed it several hours earlier!! Yes, we have a dog that sheds, but I couldn't believe how much hair and plain old dirt that this thing sucked out of my shag carpet!!
YOU GO DYSON! Now you go and get this vacuum, you won't be sorry!

I was hesitant to spend $500, but the reviews I read prior to purchase were accurate. I have two dogs, one medium, one large. They both shed moderately and what this vacuum picks up is amazing. The suction is incredible and it is light enough to carry up and down my split level house without a problem. I am very satisfied with this vacuum. And, it is bagless!

I've been using my Dyson for a few weeks and can't believe how much dirt, dust and dog hair I pick up each time I use it.
I actually look forward to vacuuming now!
This machine is much lighter and more maneuverable than my former vacuum. The long hose allows me to leave the vacuum at the bottom of the stairs and still clean from top to bottom of the staircase.

Review 14 for DC41 Animal Bagless Upright Vacuum Cleaner
Got home and ran old vac over rugs, then the DC41 Animal and was shocked at what it picked up! We have 4 Shepherds, I was using an upright and a canister w/crevice tool to get around things. Moves effortlessly between rugs and laminate.This is so convenient, I'm using it a couple times a day. Cleaner with bags always smelled of dogs, no odor with this one.(has a nice long cord too) . Don't hesitate on this one. Home Depot had the best price.
Yes, I recommend this product.

This vacuum cleaner has great suction and is easy to maneuver. The only thing I did not like, was the attachment hose. It does not bend to get into crevices, due to the hard, almost foot long end of the hose.
The worst thing about Dyson is their customer service. My vacuum broke after several months. I called 3 times and was left on hold for over an hour (had my phone on speaker while doing other things.) They would not communicate back to me or to the local repair shop. I ended up taking this expensive vacuum back to store that I bought it from. I will never deal with Dyson again.
Pros: Easy to Clean, Easy to Use, Looks Great
Cons: Not Durable, poor attachment design, horrible customer service
No, I do not recommend this product.

Three Items of Concern
,PostedFebruary 18, 2013
Dennis
There are three items that are not up to par in a $600.00 vacuum cleaner. The detent to hold the sweeper upright sometimes does not engage and the sweeper falls over. The cord has no anti tangle abilty. It is always kinked regardless what you do. The storage hooks that stor the cord are not long enough to contain the cords length. Other than that it is probably one of the best on the market.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I decided to purchase the Dyson because several people in my family own Dyson vacuums and rave about their vacuums. I do like the Dyson that I just purchased. I find that it does suck up all the pet hair and dirt extremely well. I also like the fact that the ball allows the vacuum to turn and get into tight spots. However, i do not like the fact that there is no release lever to put the vacuum into the vacuuming position. It does feel as though you will break the vacuum by just pulling the handle down, and you need to push it up pretty hard to make sure it locks. I am hoping that this does not pose any kind of problem in the future since the vacuum was pretty expensive.
Pros: Easy to Clean, Easy to Use, High Quality, Easy to Install, Looks Great, Good Size & Weight, Nice Design
Cons: no release lever
Yes, I recommend this product.

I bought my first Dyson about 6 years ago and it is still in great shape and working fine. When a cheap vacuum cleaner I was using in a vacation home died, I decided to take my older Dyson to it and get a new one. I was not disappointed. I like it better than any vacuum cleaner I've ever had and I have had the more expensive other brands, too.

Although we thought our carpets were being cleaned with our previous "major name brand" vacuum, we were completely surprised with the amount of dirt and dust pulled from the carpet fibers after the first use. This vacuum removed enough dirt to fill the old vacuums' bag that we never had to replace for several months with the first use.
Because of the slowly filling bag, with my families allergies, I purchased this vacuum to see if we would have better cleaning..... "SURPRISE" We looked like we were living in a barn with dirt floors. Best purchase we made in a long time for the routine home cleaning.

Since HD was having a sale, we couldn't pass up the deal on the Dyson DC 41. After we got it home and put together, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to test it out, even though it was about 10 o'clock at night. We have a dog and a cat, both short hair, so I really didn't think it there would be that much in the carpet, especially since I'm a vacuuming fiend. After vacuuming over one floor, I was surprised at how much hair, dirt and grime it picked up! We both got so excited, we ended up vacuuming the whole house just to see what all and how much it would pick up! Let's just say what was in the bottom of the trash can was a bit disgusting, but completely amazing! If you're debating on whether or not it's worth the $500-$700 price tag...it's worth every penny! If you don't believe me, try it out for yourself, but I highly doubt you'll be pocketing that receipt for long to make a full return.
Yes, I recommend this product.
