Dyson DC17 Animal Vacuum Cleaner Review

Review of the Dyson DC17 Animal Vacuum Cleaner

This vacuum was designed with the pet lover in mind.

The Dyson DC17 Animal Upright does not lose suction and has one of the highest average dirt pickup rates across all floor surfaces which makes vacuuming less of a chore.

The mini turbine head on the DC17 cleans pet hair and dirt from upholstery, tight spaces, up the stairs and also from your car.

This Dyson features Cyclone 3 Technology to efficiently clean without clogging, lose its power or suction. The filter is washable so no more extra costs on vacuum cleaner bags.

According to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America the air that comes out of the Dyson has less bacteria then the air we breathe.

Pricing for the Dyson DC17 ranges from new $599 to refurbished at $209.

Attachments:

Not only does the Dyson DC17 tout the telescope reach wand and mini turbine head that cleans the dirt and pet hair from small areas and upholstery but it also includes a flexi crevice tool and brush tip that bends and gets into those tight awkward spaces.

Low-reach floor tool – This works like a champ getting into hard to reach places such as under beds and furniture. You can switch between the brushes for carpet surfaces and hardwood floors with a touch of the button.

Quick-Draw Telescope:

The quick draw telescope extends quickly and easily for those out of reach areas and stairs.

Brush Bar:

If you have delicate rugs and bare floors in your home the motorized brush bar can be turned off to protect these areas.

Dyson DC17 Recommendations:

For heavy jobs, this vacuum picks up the dirt and debris sending it directly to the canister. No clogging or dirt being recycled back into the air.

The fact this vacuum was designed for pet owners does not disappoint. Powerful suction where you need it to pick up all forms of pet hair.

Some people experienced a problem with the belt coming off but Dyson was happy to fix the issue. Overall this seems to be a sturdy vacuum with all the attachments you need to get the job done.
