i have had my Dyson animal for 4 years. it has been very dependable, i have not had 1 problem with it. recently i had a Kirby sales person show up to my door with there new model. against my better judgment i purchased the vacuum. after they left i started comparing the 2 and realized the suction on my Dyson was just as good after 4 years as the brand new Kirby. thank god i didn't trade it in like they wanted. i called them the next day and told them to come pick up there $1200.00 vacuum cleaner.

Changed back to dyson as new vacuum wasn't nearly as good . I could not believe the dog hair ect that came out of my carpets with dyson DC14 SL-ANI Animal. I will never change from dyson again.

We have had Dysons for quite a few years and am fed up with them, even more so after our latest: the Dyson DC14 SL-ANI Animal. Suction goes quickly, hose pipes split easily and they are far too heavy to lift up and down stairs. Constantly having to clean ours out to get it working. Won't be buying another one!

Read reviews on Dysons (in general) and despite Dyson's reputation, I was a bit hesistant about spending £200 on vacuum cleaner. I have to say that after initial use I am very impressed. The carpets had been vacuumed only hours before with Electrolux vacuum (which this Dyson replaces because despite "cyclonic technology" it lost useful suction within about 18 months, despite frequently cleaning filters).Also, with the turbobrush (no extended hose) I can cover 9 stairs, which I deem to b ...

The Dyson DC14 SL-ANI Animal is a superb cleaner - great for pet hairs. very good suction, superb after sales support: ours was 3 years out of warranty but they sent us a replacement hose free of charge - the hose wore away at the top after 5 years use.

The Dyson DC14 SL-ANI Animal is great for us as we have 3 pets and finally our house is becoming free of animal fur and also sand that we have brought back from the beach!

Dysons are the most fantastic cleaners. I have now purchased three. The other two are still going strong - a DC01 and a DC04 - I gave them to my children. I just cannot praise these cleaners enough. No other cleaners come anywhere near the cleaning power or ease of use. I can thoroughly recommend them and simply cannot understand anyone buying anything else.

Love it's suction and the long reaching telescope. Have had a DC01 for several years which had to be unclogged now and again I dare say this one will be the same but that's just a small price to pay for the powerful carpet cleaning.

Would be happier if maintenance & repair was easier for home owner. I would not mess with the electrics however one should not need to call out a service engineer (as advised but pricey) to replace beater /brush, or the hose between the swivel head and the body of the machine whichis now bound up with gaffer tape.The attachement hose is easy to replace but is ca £20 and is vulnerable if care is not taken when replacing the handle inside it, or if using the turbo brush on the stairs at fu ...

I run a b&b and have dogs therefore my home must be spotless. I have had other Dysons but this one certainly does the job. It gets rid of unwanted hairs, is excellent on my spring cleaning regime for mattresses - scary what can be seen to come out. Also have Miele Animal but prefer to see the dirt in the bin and not in a bag so that I can get rid of it every couple of days. As I have 80/20 wool carpets throughout I am confident that a good job is being done.

I used mine once and wish I had never bought it.
Been sitting in the closet for 6 months, untouched.
Definitely NOT worth the money.

This is the 3rd time I am returning this Dyson to Sam's Club. That means it has broken down 3 times in less than a year, and this last time, only after using it 3 times. It makes a horrible noise and it sounds like it will burn up. I read that this vacuum has a lot of issues so I made sure to buy it at Sam's as there is an open return policy (thank goodness when buying Dyson vacuums).

Please be careful when buying this vacuum that you can get a refund on return ...

Prior to buying this machine I read a number of reviews. The majority of them were not favourable. I contacted Dyson via E Mail on Saturday morning with a query regarding airwatts and was very surprised to receive a phone call with an answer to that query within 2 hours. A very helpful Dyson employee took me through the Dyson range and answered all my questions in a professional manner. Within 4 days I received a very professional and informative brochure outlining the Dyson Range.

I bought t ...

Just wanted to say a quick word about Dysons and vacuum cleaners in general really. They all need maintenance, so for the people who say their cleaners don't even pick up small particles like hole punch paper, it's most probably due to a blockage. All cleaners get blocked at some time and need maintenance. Take all these personal reviews with a pinch of salt. Don't be put off by someone's negative comments. You never know, they maybe even working for a rival company!
I've had the DC01 f ...

I have gone through many vacuums and had to ditch them all ... the DYSON Pet vacuum has lasted me more than 4 years and we have had no problems. My daughter and I have long hair, and that is a problem, but only once after 4 years, did we have to clean the roller b/c hair got tangled ... that was not tough to do, the roller comes up easily, However, after it was cleaned, the suction was still great, if not better. The attachments are fabulous, and the ease of using them makes it really a pleasu ...

Hoses split all the time. Motor burned out just as the guarantee did. Dyson say they were/are surprised, but they would not replace or assist. I ended up buying a new motor independently (and it's about to happen again). I am now in the market for alternative manufacturer.

The Dyson DC14 SL-ANI Animal vacuum cleaner was only used on an upstairs carpet once a week in a single household.

I wouldn't buy a Dyson DC14 SL-ANI Animal vacuum cleaner again. It looks groovy, and it is bagless and works well when it works, but the hoses split all the time. Loss of suction is frequent. It is very heavy, and mine blew up after 3 years.

I bought this Dyson 18 months ago really because there was little else available that seemed any better. It doesn't seem to have any real strength of suction when used on carpets and, although it moves the surface bits and dog hair it makes little impression on the pile of the carpet and so the room does not look reassuringly hoovered. The hose is a bit of a pain in that you have to get the whole thing out even if it is to clean one corner and it is then a bit of a pain to get it all back togeth ...

My DC01 finally gave up after 8 years, so we replaced it with the Dyson Animal. It is a vast improvement on the earlier models, it is much easier to empty and the accesories are well arranged on the unit. The 1400w motor is very powerful and copes well with all that my two cats and two children leave behind. It even does a good job on the stairs and in the car.

I am extremely happy with my new Dyson DC14 SL-ANI Anima vacuum. It is the best vacuum I've had yet, and I've had, at one time or another, most of the major brand names out there. Before my Dyson, I had a Royal commercial vacuum cleaner, which was supposed to be one of the best and most powerful uprights available. But the Dyson is many times better than it was, plus the Dyson's attachments on the DC14 Animal are a snap to put on and use, and then go back to upright vacuuming again. I absolu ...
