Dyson Animal Vacuum Cleaners

A Review Of The Animal Dyson Series DC07, DC14, DC15 and DC17

The Animal (TM) series cleaners made by Dyson are equipped with mini turbine heads that work great in uprooting pet hairs that have lodged themselves unto your upholsteries.

This turbine head generates a spinning action that produces suction to remove the unwanted fiber like dog and cat fur from upholsteries, in order to be vacuumed by the main unit.

Like all Dyson cleaners, the Dyson Animal vacuum cleaners are equipped with the patented Root Cyclone technology, which is responsible for its ability to maintain suction.

The technology employs 100,000 g's of centrifugal force to remove dust and dirt from the air that enters the Dyson cleaner's vacuum chamber.

This technology has been proven to exert more suction than conventional suction techniques, even if the canisters are already full of dirt. The added suction results in more debris being sucked by the cleaner.

Another common feature shared by the Animal (TM) series with its other Dyson cousins is the lifetime HEPA filter system.

These filters are designed to last for the whole duration of the vacuum cleaner's lifetime, so that you won't have to purchase a new filter after a while. They require minimal to no maintenance at all, because they can be washed effectively with water only when you need to do so.

All Dyson Animal vacuums use clear bins to store the dirt and dust that have been vacuumed from your floors, furniture and upholsteries. These bins are made of transparent polycarbonate material, which means you can take a look to see if you need to empty it.

Emptying it is pretty clean and hygienic. You only need to press a release trigger and the bin is empty without you ever touching the dirt. These bins can carry up to 5/8 of a gallon worth of dirt.

The Dyson Animal (TM) upright vacuum cleaners have been awarded an asthma-friendly certification by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation, the first uprights to be given such a distinction by the body.

Dyson DC17 Animal

Part of the Dyson Animal series, the DC17 upright vacuum cleaner is ideal for people suffering from asthma. This is because the vacuum cleaner's HEPA filter system removes molds and bacteria from the air that enters the unit, and releases it 150 times cleaner than it was before.

Aside from a 30-foot long power cord, the DC17 is equipped with a telescoping wand that can be extended for an extra reach of 16 feet by just pressing a button.

Besides its pet hair removal capabilities, the Dyson DC17 is also ideal to use in any floor type.

One only needs to turn the motorized brushbar off if the floors and rugs are too delicate to clean with it.

Other features include a low-handle, ergonomic design, on-board storage for tools, and automatic carpet-height adjustment.

Dyson DC14 Animal Cyclone

Another upright vacuum cleaner in the Dyson Animal (TM) series, the DC14 is similar to the DC17 except for a few things. It has a carpet-care kit to help keep carpets looking new.

The Dyson DC14 comes with a power cord is 5 and 2/5 inches longer than the one in the DC17. Its has a quick draw hose that reaches up to 14 feet, 3 feet shorter than what the DC17's telescoping wand could reach.

Dyson DC07 Upright Vacuum Cleaner

The DC07 Dyson Animal (TM) vacuum cleaner is a stylish upright vacuum cleaner with a body that comes in three colors: purple, yellow and red. This cleaner is known for its durability, since it is made of polycarbonate material that also makes up crash helmets, as well as for its light weight that makes it easy to be pushed and turned around when cleaning.

The DC07 can be plugged anywhere and from any distance with its 35-foot long power cord. For extra reach, it has a quick-release hose that can reach up to 17 feet, and comes with a reversible extension-wand handle. The hose makes it possible for you to clean areas that are above floor level, like cupboards and staircases.

The DC07's nozzle automatically adjusts itself to facilitate cleaning of different carpet heights. Aside from that, its brush can be turned off when cleaning bare floors by simply stepping on a foot pedal. The DC07 also carries a carpet care kit to maintain the newly bought look of your carpets.

Dyson DC15 "The Ball" Animal Vacuum

The DC15 is only member of the Dyson Animal (TM) series to be equipped with Dyson's Ball (TM) motion technology.

The Ball design gives users the advantage of using less effort to maneuver the cleaner when cleaning. With a simple and effortless turn of the wrist, the DC15 glides along with your turn to go where you want to.

Like all the other Dyson Animal (TM) uprights, the DC15's power cord is 37 feet long which means you don't have to unplug the machine when you need to move to another area.

Other features include a carpet-care kit, a wide debris opening to catch larger pieces of debris and dirt, and on-board tool storage.
