Tools and Hardware Reviews of Dyson DC31 Handheld Animal Vacuum Cleaner
Customer Review: Fast and Cleans Like a Dream Come True!
Summary: 5 Stars
UPDATE: 9 Apr 2011. I was asked how I could possibly clean "my entire house" with the Dyson DC31 Handheld Animal Vacuum Cleaner. If you read my review you'll see that I only said that I was cleaning four rooms and _"almost my bedroom & bath on one charge"_. It is possible to do this because (1) my house is a reasonably sized house; (2) I'm not pressing the power button continuously; and (3) in the two last rooms: bedroom & bath, I prep them by using a dry Swiffer to get all the "wool sluts" (original term for "dust bunnies"), from under the bed and to gather the cat litter in my bathroom. From there, I quickly pick up the lines of dust & cat litter in those two rooms.
And then, the ultimate joy is to press the red release button so that all the fluff & nonsense falls out of the DC31 & into the trash can. If you make a mistake and pick up an earring or something vital, then you have the ease of releasing the DC31 onto paper and sifting through your mess and picking up your precious goods.
I keep my DC31 always plugged in because I use the long, thin attachment tool for cobwebs, grout lines, and other tight corners in my bathroom, dining room, & kitchen (still finding last year's & this year's Xmas-tree needles. I think they breed in direct opposition to the way socks disappear :O)
ORIGINAL POSTING:
This is my third Dyson Animal (I bought the 1st gen. upright and then I bought the Dyson DC25 Animal Ball, because it's so much easier to maneuver whilst being in a wheelchair). I love them all, but being able to pick up the Dyson DC31 Animal handheld and quickly dust before visitors arrive is just priceless. I have a cat and the Dyson DC31 Animal takes care of all cat-related fur, missed treats, & any stray litter bits. I love the Dyson's power and I'm able to clean my living room, kitchen, dining room, foyer, and almost my bedroom & bath on one charge.
The manual recommends cleaning the filter monthly. I thought it was going to be a chore. Ha! Cleaning the filter = "user friendly". No manual needed at all. I popped the unit open and the filter itself has images of a faucet on it. Brilliant!
I can't recommend the DC31 Animal handheld highly enough.
