    Bought this to replace our Dyson DC01 a couple of years ago.It is quite heavy to use so may not suit an older person. We have a labrador who when he casts leaves hairs all over the place. The DC07 makes short work of picking up the hairs. Our house is a mix of carpets and hard wood flooring, so the hard floor setting is a must for us. The mini turbine head is brilliant for removing dust and hair from carpeted stairs. Our Dyson is used daily and we have had to have the motor & hose replaced but with a 5 year guarantee and excellent customer service you don't have to worry about repairs.

    I bought the DC07 Animal about 6 years ago and, considering I paid £330 for it, expected a nice, reliable vacuum. I was trading up from a 5th-hand, 25 year old, bagged Panasonic, so I was really excited about my purchase.

    This hoover is probably the worst purchase I have ever made! The pet turbo attachment blocked within two weeks, and I'd only used it four times! Okay, so I had long hair back then, but the only other furball in our house was a shorthaired cat, and she only ever stayed in ...

    Hose is too short, cleaner is more flimsy than earlier Dyson cleaners (would not have thought THAT was possible!), the dust container is smaller than on any of the other Dyson cleaners that I have owned over the past 10 years (this is my 4th...), the brush bar defaults to ON when cleaner is turned off, it seems that the switch for the brushbar is attached, in some way, to the on/off switch, and this is very confusing when cleaning. The attached 'tools' are a joke, They are really not fit for pur ...

    I absolute love my Dyson Animal. Have had since they first went on sale. It gets beat up in a household with three cats, various pile of carpet, and wood floors. I have wooden stairs, so it gets carried up and down quite a bit with the hose stretched to the limit. I love that it is so easy to take the vacuum apart to clean and replace parts. I've had to replace both hoses now, but given the amount of use, I think that's perfectly acceptable. The canister gets held on with a bungie co ...

    unbelievable poor - i found kitchen science had the rudeness / dreadfull customer service staff from any other internet store in the market-place. couldn't get a straight forward answer to a simple question about delivery timescale for a product that i ordered from them - a dyson animal hoover. when i asked the young lady to clarify the delivery date, she became rude and i later found out, she had cancelled my order, as well ! request a call back from one of the cs managers, never receive a c ...

    I am an owner of the model DC07 Animal and bought it as a replacement for an earlier model thinking that it would last me a long time and cause very little trouble. The body is robust however it is supposed to continue to pick up dirt not move it around. It should be easier to strip down and keep clean than it is.

    I think the Dyson DC07 Animal is too heavy and awkward to be carried up and down stairs unless you are young and fit. Exceptionally noisy. I have had to replace upper (flexi hose) and lower hose and now need a new motor for it. I am cutting my losses and dumping it in order to buy a vacuum as advised by 'Which' costing a lot less (albeit requiring a bag).

    We had a family hand-down of a Dyson DC01, that was worn out in a few places. We spent about £25 getting all the worn bits replaced and it worked really well. Much better than the 'Henry' before it. It was messy to empty and the filters needed cleaning/replacing every month. For all that though it generally was very reliable and worked well until the fan on the motor spindle actually sheared off, jamming the motor solid. It was essentially worn-out. It had been going for about 11-12 ...

    We didn't get our Dyson DC07 Animal with all the attachments, so I tried the furniture sweeper tool from our Hoover. (It never worked well with the Hover since there was not enough suction to make it work properly). I works absolutely GREAT with the Dyson and REALLY cleans furniture and the cars wonderfully.
    We are very glad we got the Dyson, it's embarassing how much dirt it pulls up from the carpet, but that's great!
    I'd recommend it to anyone that feels that their vacuum is lacking in suction ...

    Loss of suction and seriously overheating motor after about two weeks use. "Lifetime" filter and motor replaced by engineer under guarantee but soon same problems returned. I'm not going to waste my time with this, I want to do some cleaning.

    I have a dog that sheds all year round and always struggled to keep on top of the vacuuming - hoped this would help as would not normally pay so much.

    It is better than my old vacuum cleaner but not enough to justify the extra cost I don't think.

    The thing sounded as if it was full of marbles when I first assembled it and turned it on. Customer service was minimally helpful. Still sounds that way whenever it doesn't like the thickness of the surface it's not sucking anything off of. I hate this cleaner and feel like a dummy for having paid $500 for it. My advice, buy a Eureka for a fraction of the price and spend those hours reading instead of cleaning all the parts of your vacuum cleaner in the vain hope that it will function as adverti ...

    The Dyson DC07 Animal is just a fantastic hoover with great suction. I stay on a farm and have a cat, 2 dalmatians and a springer spaniel all in the house and this dyson copes with it all I love it had same model 6 years. Got new hoses during guarantee period. and thats been it . I love it.

    Light weight, not very noisy. Poor suction. For the price it should work great, I have had better suction with cheap vacuums. Don't waste your money.

    The DC07 is simple to assemble, the various parts fitting together with a satisfying CLICK.
    Once assembled, the 'Animal' is a gaudy, in-your-face beast, unlikely to blend in with your decor unless you're Lawrence Llewelyn-Bowen. Large and fairly heavy, too.
    Its first outing was across our new upstairs carpet. Amazing! After emptying the large dust canister for the third time I expected to find bald patches, so much fluff did the Dyson suck up!
    On open spaces you can really see the difference ...

    Do not under any circumstances buy a Dyson. Pure style over substance.

    I am very disappointed in this appliance. We have only owned this Dyson for 6 months and 2 months into it, the beater bar began to rub the housing intermittently making a horrendous noise. While the noise is still a problem, I have yet to notice the difference between this vacuum and other less expensive brands.
    Also, while cleaning stairs with the detachable and unit, the hose kinks unless you lay the vacuum on it side while using making the hand unit totally useless.
    Several of the "upholste ...

    We have just replaced a Dyson DC04 that we've had for 8 years!!! It has come to the end of its days but gave me many years of great usage and has finally stopped picking up as well as it did, so it was time to buy a new one. We bought the Animal because of two reasons 1) we have several allergy sufferers in our household and 2) we have 1 dog and 2 cats that tend to like leaving their hair in my carpets! The Dyson Animal lives up to it name. We hoovered our floors (which had only just been hoo ...
