Dyson DC14 Animal Upright Cleaner

I originally wrote this review in Sept '06 when I first purchased my Dyson, it's now Jan 2,2008 and I have just purchased my second Dyson. I loved the first one so much that I decided to buy another for my dog kennel!! My sister borrowed mine one day and now she owns one too!! You cannot go wrong buying this vacuum cleaner. The suction is unbelievable. I have taken it to several friends' houses and it makes them sick to see how much the cannister gets filled even after they have just vacuumed with their vacuum cleaner, no matter what the brand, the Dyson beats them all. Quick thinking about it and just go buy one!

What I love about this vacuum....where do I begin... You can literally pull the expandable hose across a room stretching up to 17' and the vacuum cleaner does not even fall over! I was so amazed!! And its so easy to get spider webs from the ceiling with the long reach wand.
My original review is below:

This is the first upright vac I have had that will literally get to the edge of the wall or cabinet. Doesn't leave that 1" or so of unvacuumed strip like most vacs.

It weighs about 18lbs, but it glides across the floor so gracefully!! Its so easy to operate. And when you take it out of the box, its also very easy to put together. Its also the quietest running vac I have ever heard.

The cord is super long, I believe I read 35' which is probably more than twice as long as most vacs.

The best for last - SUCTION - This vacuum has power like you would not believe!! I had just vacuumed my house with my old Dirt Devil, thinking the carpet was clean!! You wouldn't believe how quickly I filled the cannister after just going through several rooms. I was about to die. All this time I thought my carpets were clean!! I have very bad allergies also and I'm anxious to see if this makes a difference. The cannister is very easy to dump and put back together. Nothing gets clogged in the filter either.

This vacuum cleaner makes house work fun because it is such a good feeling after you vacuum your entire house. I mean, you can feel the clean! The Mgr at Lowe's saw me buying the vac and told me he had the same one and how much fun it was to use. And it honestly is cause it works soooooo good. I vacuumed up an empty 13 gal garbage bag and thought it was a kleenex going in LOL then I saw it in the cannister and about died! It didn't even get choked!!

I think this model comes with a whole lot more attachments than the others. Whether you have indoor pets or not, I highly recommend this vacuum cleaner. If you have been thinking about getting one, don't hesitate any longer, just do it!
