Tools and Hardware Reviews of Remanufactured Dyson DC17 Animal Cyclone Upright Vacuum Cleaner
Customer Review: My house even smells cleaner
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been wanting a Dyson for a couple of years, especially since we got our big dog. I finally got this refurbished animal model and it is wonderful.
The mini-turbine head really works great at getting the dog hair off of the furniture. It only takes a couple of passes to get all the dog hair, where with my old vac I would go over and over it and still have some clinging to the furniture.
This vacuum is very lightweight and easy to maneuver.
With my previous vacuum, the doggy smell would go away for about a day after vacuuming and then come right back. With the Dyson, the house actually stays smelling dog free until I vacuum again next week!! That is the biggest plus for me. I could not stand the dog smell when I walked into the house and now I don't have it anymore.
This is totally worth the money and I wish I would've go it earlier.
Oh, and I love how easy the canister is to dump, just pull up on the tab and the bottom opens to dump all of the dirt out, no taking apart the canister to clean it out. Love it.
Customer Review: This thing really is an animal!

I have had this vacuum for 2 and 1/2 years now, and let me tell you normally I would have gone through at least 4 vacuum cleaners by now! This thing is a BEAST! I use it at least 5 times a week to pick up dog hair, wood chips (we use wood heat and it gets all over the carpet), cat hair, litter, and all sorts of junk and this thing still works like new. It did break once about a year after purchase but Dyson has FANTASTIC customer service! I took it to the UPS store where they boxed it for me and the shipping to Dyson and back was free. I was without a vacuum for only one week which is pretty good considering where I live is pretty out of the way. The belt recently snapped on it and Dyson had a new one to my door within 3 days! This vacuum is all you will need for YEARS, I spent $450 on it and I do not regret it. I've tried so many brands before settling on this and this one is BY FAR the best! You get what you pay for and in this instance I got a great vacuum and excellent customer service!Customer Review: Great Vacuum, lousy instructions

This vacuum will make you feel like you're living in a pig sty. We bought this vacuum to replace an older Kenmore product whose wheels weren't rolling so well and the parts added up to $100+. So why not buy a new vacuum? Just for fun I vacuumed a 12' x 24' carpeted area with the Kenmore. Right after, I used the Dyson. You know those quart sized Ziploc bags? That's how much more fur and dirt I got with the Dyson. I am now a believer.
Now the bad part. Their vacuum isn't the only thing that sucks. I still have attachments I haven't figured out to use yet. The man in the commercials spouts off about how they went through 5000 trials to get the vacuum right. It would be nice if they would have tried more then once on getting the directions to be as awesome as the vacuum. They are the annoying picture directions with very little supporting documentation. I would venture a guess that future generations will find a copy of these directions and liken them to cave drawings.

We had about four other couples who all own pets and tell us how great this vacuum is. We read the reviews as well then placed our order. We have a person who cleans our house every other week and had just been there the day the new vacuum arrived. I pulled it out and thought I would see if did what they said it would. We have a Golden Retriever and a cat so we have our fair amount of fur in our area rugs and carpet. Well much to our surprise it filled the entire chamber with pet hair that was down deep in the carpet. The beater bar did exactly what it said it would. Got all of the dirt and fur trapped down in the carpet fibers. We have tried the other attachments to clean the couch and chairs and we never loose any power from the vacuum. The wand is a handy feature to get under and behind places where you don't want to move the funiture. We have already told others at work about the vacuums power and they are looking to get one now.
Customer Review: The Search is Over!

When our Roomba finally thew in the white flag after we brought home Shelby the shedding German Shepherd, we have been researching vacuums for months. We knew Dyson would likely be the only way to keep up with the hair but originally thought it was out of our price range. Until we found the remanufactured model! True to Amazon form it was delivered quickly in original manufacturer packaging and has been a Godsend ever since. We had forgotten what color our rugs were (blue! They are blue!) and thought our beige carpet had long ago turned gray. My husband and I now argue over who gets to vacuum because it is no longer a fight to get the floors clean. It even works well on our slate and hardwood. There are cheaper places to get the Remanufactured Dysons but Amazon works directly with the factory so you can't go wrong. If there are any differences to the 'new' model you'd be hard pressed to find them. Definitely a life-saver for pet owners!
