Dyson DC28 Animal Upright Cleaner

This vacuum is very powerful. I had setting on Med and was vacuuming oriental rugs and it was actually pulling the wool pile out of the rug. I changed the setting as this isnt dust, it's the actual rug. But cleaning it does. It's a little cumbersome when you first start using it as there are so many ways to use it...takes a little getting used to. Love the fact that they have designed great pix to show how to use and assemble instead of having to read a 900 page novel...you get the picture ! Great unit.

I absolutely love this vacuum. I was a dye-hard Kirby fan and have not found a machine that compared (in my mind). That is until I purchased the Dyson DC28. We could not believe what was picked up in the canister the first swipe over just the first carpet. It was unbelievable what my old machine had left behind JUST below the surface. I would give this machine an Excellent rating for everything from cleaning to handling to user friendliness. An extremely well thought out machine.

Oh my gosh, I am so impressed with this vacuum. I have always had good vacuums - top of the line Kenmore etc. But after seeing the suction this vacuum has I can't believe it. It is worth every penny.

This Dyson has amazing power! I could not believe the dirt and cat hair that it found AFTER using my old sweeper! I feel much better knowing that my carpets are REALLY clean! I have friends that own these sweepers and they love them and now I know why! Highly recommended to pet owners! Buy on ebay and save like I did!

I just bought this vacuum. I assembled the vacuum which was simple. Some people have said that the Dysons are difficult to put together but that's not the case with the DC28. You connect the hose to the handle and snap the handle to the vacuum. Easy.

I have only used the vacuum once but was very pleased with it's performance. I live in an apartment and have two cats. My old vacuum was not very good at picking up the hair but the DC28 did just that with no problem at all. A couple of weeks prior to using the Dyson vacuum, I had used my old vacuum and even deep cleaned the the spare bedroom carpet with a Bissell home model deep clean carpet cleaner. You would think the carpet would be fairly clean, right? I mean, the carpet looked clean. There wasn't any hair that I could see. I could not believe the amount of hair the Dyson pulled up from the "clean" carpet. My living room carpet is the worst. Dirt gets tracked in from the outside and it always has cat hair all over the carpet. My old vacuum took several tries to get the hair off. The Dyson took care of that with one pass. If this vacuum continues to perform as good as this I will be a very happy person.

The only cons I would have with this vacuum would be this. The pictures in the assembly manual could be a little more clear or have a written description added to them. The telescoping wand/hose is a little clumsy at first but at the same time, I think this is a really good idea/invention to have the hose built right into the handle.

this is one serious vacuum it is very well thought out when used as a straight vac it has tremendous suction i bought to compare to my kirby sentria which is also a great vac between the to it comes down to to whether you like plastic or aluminum the dyson has more features for less money now ill see how it lasts

Brand New and Exactly the item i wanted! This vacuum was purchased on thursday morning. I recieved a tracking number thursday afternoon and it arrived on my doorstep saturday afternoon! Unbelievably fast shipping! Thanks a million. Never thought i would be this satisfied with an ebay purchase! HIGHEST OF RECOMMENDATION!

We love the new DC-28. We have owned a Dyson DC7 for several years and it was excellent. However, the DC28 is hands over a better machine. We would highly recommend to anyone

I love the sucktion on this cleaner. Great for pet hair that is hard to get. Allergies are relived with the dust and dirt it picks up.

Way too expensive for a vacuum, however we were having trouble with our new carpet shedding and our old vacuum couldn't even go 5 feet without needing to be cleaned. The animal works great so far. Great suction. Typical weight for a vacuum. Overall we are very happy.

I previously had a Phantom vacuum and I thought it was the best. The new Dyson is amazing and the suction and pick up is great. I can't believe the dirt and hair it picks up. People ask if we just had the carpet shampooed because it looks so good. I really think this is the best vacuum I have ever owned. It was easy to put together and it has amazing suction on the accessories part also.
