Tools and Hardware Reviews of Remanufactured Dyson DC17 Animal Cyclone Upright Vacuum Cleaner
Customer Review: Worth Every Penny
Summary: 5 Stars
A couple of my friends bought a Dyson last year and really like it. One is a kamikazi vacuumer: she doesn't wear them out, she beats them to death; her Dyson has not only held up, it looks none the worse for her abuse. The other has several shaggy, shedding dogs and a long-haired daughter; her Dyson cut her vacuuming by half.
I am not Suzy Homemaker. I hate housework, though I do it. We have indoor dogs and cats, our family is in construction, we live in Kansas--the windy, dusty state. I got my Dyson a couple of weeks ago and gave it a workout. I was horrified by the amount of dirt and hair that came out of my ancient carpet. Now my carpet is soft and clean, the vacuum is actually fun to use, I love the bare-floor tool--no more sweeping dust into the air!--and the stair tool is great for all kinds of small places.
The Dyson has a lifetime Hepa filter that really does its job. I dusted and then vacuumed to test it and didn't have to redust afterward. Switching from upright to wand takes just a second and saves a ton of time. I wish I had gotten it earlier.
UPDATE: I've now been using this vacuum for 18 months (the average lifespan of each of my former vacuums) and have noticed no degradation of suction or power. I am as happy with it today as theday I brought it home.
Customer Review: Best Vac EVER!
Summary: 5 Stars
I had a nice Eureka before I bought this DC17 vac re-manufactured from another major retailer. All I can say is WOW get it now!!!
I cleaned all the carpets 2 days before I bought this vac, and this Dyson still picked up 2 canisters full of dust, hair, dirt, etc. How did the Eureka miss all this? It's NOT a Dyson!
The floors look spotless now, and the floors feel better to my bare feet. I'm highly impressed, if I knew Dyson was this good I would have bought this a LONG time ago. I didn't believe the hype, but now I'm a Dyson fan. Go Dyson, AWESOME product!
By the way if the Dyson DC17 ever electrically trips over on you (won't start, won't power), there is a reset switch behind the power / brush buttons. Take off the canister, remove the 2 screws (t-10 Hex), push the 4 push locks in, and the whole button assembly comes off. There is 2 square switches, and 1 round switch. The switch on the left (if your looking at it) is the power relay. Push it in, and the vac will reset. Do this ONLY with the power plug REMOVED from the wall, and do a full verification of the whole vac to make sure there is no obstructions in the handle, lines, or the main belt isn't broke.
Customer Review: A good purchase
Summary: 5 Stars
I couldn't imagine paying upwards of $450 for a vacuum, so I really appreciated the remanufactured option which saved me more than a hundred bucks. I was also able to get the best deal for the best product through amazon.
Before making an online purchase, I shopped around at local stores carrying this same appliance for remanufactured sales, and none could compare in price or quality. (Best Buy tried to sell me their floor model, which they already broke and remanufactured, and were STILL continuing to use after they got it back... they were completely unwilling to drop their price below $350!)
When I received my shipment from amazon, it looked good as new and works like a champ. It was really easy to put together and learn to use. I like it more than any other vacuum just for the great amount of capabilities it has (especially the part about how it doesn't lose suction, which I experienced with a bagless Hoover I had previously which also burned through three belts in the 20 times I used it!) Its nice to have something I can actually rely on this time.
Customer Review: Why pay full price??
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the Dyson Absolute Animal (DC17) vacuum with a little hesitation being that it was a remanufactured product. It arrived in a plain cardboard box with no pictures and was lacking instructions on how to assemble and use it, however, the vacuum appeared to be in brand new condition. I found the Dyson website very helpful for the less intuitive aspects of assembly and use. I currently share an apartment with 4 cats and my old vacuum left a lot of pet hair behind. I was looking for a superior product and I found it in the Dyson Animal! I was shocked at how quickly the clear bin filled up with hair. It is easy to use and very well designed. It is a bit cumbersome to use on stairs, but the attachment tools work well. This vacuum picked up so much dirt and hair from my beige carpets, it looks like I just had them shampooed! I actually enjoy vacuuming now! Why pay full price?? I saved over 200$ on my remanufactured Dyson and couldn't be happier with my purchase! I can't help but smile smugly when I walk past the same model listed at full price in my local stores!Customer Review: Dyson DC17 Animal Cylcone Remanufactured

My husband and I were wanting to purchase the Dyson DC17 and we were looking on-line for the best price when we came across Amazon's remanufactured vacuum at much lower price than we could purchase a new one. We were hesitant at purchasing a remanufactured vacuum, but because of the low price decided to give it a try. When the vacuum arrived and we opened it, it looked brand new. There was absolutely no indication that this vacuum had been remanufactured. We have not been disappointed with our purchase. This is by far the best vacuum we have owned. We recently moved from a home with berber carpeting, on which the Dyson required little effort to push, to a home with more of a shag style carpet and it is more difficult to push on this style of carpeting; however I would not let this deter you from purchasing one. We are very pleased with our purchase, especially with the amount of money we saved by purchasing the remanufactered one. We would highly recommend purchasing a remanufactured Dyson DC17 for anyone who is the market to purchase this vacuum model.
