I bought this after having a Dyson that worked great for five years. It was the older bigger version of the Animal. The old one was great but this one was a waste of money. It does not pick up and I am going to replace it after less than three months. I may never buy a Dyson again after this lemon.

I NEVER right reviews and I just can't help myself. I am so angry at dyson right now, that I have decided to NEVER buy another one again... I have exchanged 3 different models in the past 3 weeks and this one is one of them. This particular unit works great other than the fact that the cord is EXTREMELY short, to use the hose when pulling it out you have to turn it around and attach it, and the handle is pretty wobbly. The BIGGEST problem...when I was finished vacuuming the living room (18x12) I turned the vacuum off, went to wrap up the cord and noticed the whole entire bottom of the vacuum was covered in my dog's hair. It did suction about 1/2 the canister full, but had an entire handful of fur that I had to clean off. I will say out of all of this BB&B's customer service is AWESOME. They have really taken care of me

Love Dysons!

I don't actually own this particular model of Dyson Vacuum but after reading reviews (trying to help my mom buy a Dyson suited for her needs) I felt compelled to write this review because of the negative things people have said. As those things are true but what people didn't realize when they bought THIS PARTICULAR MODEL is that this is the COMPACT ANIMAL version. Hence the short hose, shorter power cord...etc. if you compare the Dyson models you'll see those differences explained clearly on Dyson.com. You'll see why this is the cheapest animal one. I currently own the old animal one w/o the ball technology and I love it! Although the bulky-ness of the head is kind of a pain now that I know there's something better out there it's still well worth my $! It's 5 1/2 years old and only had to be taken in once to repaired (for free bc of the warranty) and that was about 6 months ago. I'm thinking this animal one is intended for those in a small living space not a big house and w just a few pets or small pets. If you look into the different models you'll see that the dc41 w ball tech has the longer cord & hose w more suction power. Hope this helps people : )

At work we have the Animal and I purchased the light weight animal for home, hoping to have the same product. This machine does not have the suction power as the larger one does and has a very short cord.

I have been waiting for the day to buy my own dyson and I am so disappointed! First, I have to say that this vacuum picks up everything! It is easy to assemble and the attachments are great. The problem is moving it around! I have to use both arms to vacuum & trust me it is a work-out. (I am an average size girl - 5'5 145 LBS) I have shag carpet - not sure if that is the problem - but I have to return this vacuum :(

I bought this vaccum before I had a dog but now I have a collie mix, I value it even more (if that is possible....). I am not sure why you wouldn't give this 5 stars unless you ended up with a lemon. I've had my vaccum for 3 years. When I first got it I had a bissel upright and went over the floor first with my old vaccum and then with the Dyson. The dyson's canister was FULL when I finished (which is my only complaint....because it works so well the canister fills so quickly). I do make sure to keep the filters cleaned every few months to keep it working smoothly. It's light and easy to use and I use it probably twice a week. I might even call it my favorite Christmas gift in my 30 years!

This vacuum is just as good as a Hoover Wind Tunnel when it comes to suction. I expected much more for the money. The best thing I do like is how light it is to carry around and easier to manuver. Other than that, there's not much difference.

It was ok

I bought this vacuum sight un-seen, meaning they didn't have one on display so I had to go on the reviews and trust them. I got my vacuum and was so excited, not so much after I put it together and saw how small the canister was, no wonder ppl say they emptied it 3 times, it barely holds 1 cup of dirt. Also the cords is way to short, I'm used to vacuuming at least 3 rooms at once, with this one I had to unplug it in every room and do the next one, which is a lot to say when I live in a 1300sq.ft house. Also in order to use the hose to pick up a little piece of dust in the corner you have to do all sort of maneuvers (take the whole handle out, extent it, flip it over and then you can finally use the "hose"). I couldn't vacuum the stairs right with it either. So needless to say it was not the best vacuum I've ever had, and for that price I really expected it to be. BB&B was great though, they took it back no questions asked, I then went with the Shark professional which only cost $200 ($160 after discount), and I love it!! The suction is just as good if not better, oh yeah and did I say I have a long haired retriever? Shark works wonders with his hair.

Vacuum is ok

Not sure if this was worth the money, it is nice and quiet easy to move around and does a good job picking up dirt but it has a short cord and a small canister that always has to be emptied and dog hair gets stuck in it so you have to manually reach in and get the clumps of dog hair out, feels like some parts are cheap plastic, so we will see how the durability holds up.

This vacuum is particularly impressive when you see how much dirt is removed each time you vacuum. I empty it each time to appreciate the magnitude of dirt removal. I love that it is lightweight and smaller so it is very easy to use and store.

This was to replace our first Dyson vacuum, a DC07. This unit is about 2/3 the size of the original, and adds the "Ball" rolling solution. We are enjoying the light weight and smaller size. I think people may vacuum more often due to the easy handling. Along with the smaller size comes a narrower sweeper unit, and the dirt collection unit is a little smaller too, so emptying occurs more frequently, a fair trade-off for the smaller form factor. We are very pleased with the Dyson DC24.

Great product you will definitely not be disappointed. I owned a shark and kirby vacuum, the shark does not have the power off suction as the dyson, as for the kirby don't get me wrong kirby is a good vacuum, the bad thing it's way to heavy and it uses bags and the price is more than the dyson. If you owned pets this is the vacuum to go with I my self have two bulldogs. Dyson is very light weight and easy to maneuver around. It’s money well spend!

My husband and I saved some of the gift certificates we received from our wedding shower to get this vacuum specifically; boy can I say it has not disappointed! The first time I used it, it was so light and easy to push around (which is a big deal for a petite girl) that I thought it wasn't working, but oh how wrong I was! I was disgusted at how much it picked up from my floors! Now that I use this regularly even my doggie is no longer sneezing as much. I am so grateful to have been able to get one of these beautifully designed machines, and I actually look forward to when I get to use it (big change!). We were not at all disappointed!

Fought it for years because of the cost, and now I feel like a fool. 14 months of vacuuming bliss and counting!
Pros-It picks up my long and short haired doggie tumbleweeds like a dream. Doesn't choke on the superfine cockatoo bird dust that coats the bird area. Love the animal wand for vacuuming critter hair off of the couch. No bags to buy, and the drop bottom canister makes emptying it out without triggering my myriad allergies a snap. The whole canister portion brakes down into small easy to clean pieces. The front lower panel pops off and the roller bar comes out in a snap so i can remove strings and my super long hair from the bar.
I just can't say enough positive things.
cons- with all of our animals the smaller canister fills up quickly, and I would have liked a longer cord, but none of those items are anywhere close to a deal breaker.

Watched many, many commercials - had another brand name vacuum - wasn't cutting it anymore. Bed, Bath, and Beyond had a sale on the DC24 Animal Ball and I bought it. Used a coupon too. I can not believe how much cat hair (have one cat) this mean, lean, machine picked up!!! Easy to use and worth every penny...........In fact I think I will purchase a second one (for a 2 story house - one on each floor)... Thank you Mr Dyson for your creative tech mind...........
