We have a new dog that sheds and need a new vacuum. Is the Dyson animal really worth the expense, or would a less expensive vacuum work just as well?
Thanks!:)
I have a regular Dyson, so not sure about the animal, but my regualr dyson works great with the pet hair. I say it is absolutely worth the money. I did have a bissell before and it was not as good, in my opinion.
Have fun with your new pup!
I was in the market for a vacuum for dog hair not too long ago as well. I went to Home Depot and talked with an employee in the vacuum/carpet dept. He said that Dyson was almost too good. That sometimes the suction is so good that it tears up the carpet! He talked me into a different brand that came with a pet hair attachment that I am happy with. I don't remember which one it is but it was about half the cost of the dyson.
I have owned a Kirby and an Oreck and now have a Dyson pet vac . They are gods answer to pet owners. I used my Oreck first and went over the floor 2 times. Then I vacumed with my Dyson and couldn't beleive how much hair came up. I would highly recomend this vac.
Hi Kalli,
I also have Dyson that I am very happy with. We went through 3 different vacuums before our Dyson and it is definetly worth the money. We have never had a problem with it ruining carpet.
I totally would get the Dyson. We have the Purple Animal Dyson and it is great at getting up pet hair. It is by far the best vacuum I've ever owned. Great at vacuuming the sofa also :0)
Not sure about the other poster and the tearing up the carpet... I've never had that happen, but maybe if you have a 70's shag carpet the suction might be to much for it...
Go get the Dyson for sure!! Make sure you get a dreat deal. If you see it cheaper somewhere else bring your ad in and most places like best buy will give you the cheaper price and an extra 10% off. We were able to use a Bed Bath and Beyond Coupon at Best Buy on our Dyson!!!!!
Good Luck!!!

Totally worth the money.
it is absolutely worth the money! I have a shedding machine German Shepherd and a 2 year old little girl. It tackles the task with no problem. Like someone else mentioned when we first bought the Dyson I went over the carpets with my old vacuum and then again with the Dyson. It was disgusting how much stuff came out of "clean" carpet.
I bought my husband a Dyson 3-4 years ago and it's still going strong and I would spend the money again in a heartbeat. He loves it. I love it. My parents also bought one and are very happy with the purchase (and before this I could never imagine them spending $500 on a vacuum!).
Good luck.
Love my Dyson and it's well worth the money!!! My husband had to convince me to buy it, I didn't want to spend the money but now with 2 cats we couldn't live without it:)
Yes!! Well worth it!! I never regret my decision to get one - in fact - it makes me want to vacuum all the time!! LOVE IT.
YES!! It it HANDS DOWN the best vacuum I have every had and well worth the money!
I love my Dyson and wouldn't trade it for the world! I would highly recommend it...so worth the money.
I have a Dyson and I love it. It sucks really strongly...always, it's hearty and easy to use. I have had MANY vacuums over the years, Hoover, Bissell, etc and they all fall apart after a few years. Replacing belts, lightbulbs, wheels, bags, beater bars...what a pain. I have had my Dyson for 3 years and it still works as well as the day I got it!
YES! The Dyson vacuum is AWESOME! In the 7 years I have been married, we have had 3 vacuums total, and the Dyson has lasted the longest. It is by far superior to the other two I had (hoover was junk, and I can't remember what the other one was)and cleans up very well after our dog - who is a black & white lab/springer spaniel/other mix. She sheds a LOT, and the Dyson helps. We also have 2 kids that make big messes.
You can usually get a good price @ Kohl's w/ one of their frequent coupons (esp if you wind up with a 30%-er!) or check Costco too, if you have a membership.
Enjoy!
I love my Dyson, It works so well.
My sister in law bought one and she loves how it cleans the pet hair of her dark green carpet, she said she finally feels that it's clean. I bought mine on sale at Kohl's when I had a 30% off coupon.
I've had a regular one for about 3 years now, and I love it. It works great with pet hair. the only difference between the pet and regular are the attachments. Also, I believe it is on sale this week at Meijers, so check it out. YOu may also be able to find a coupon online for one. I would recommend it, it is durable and very easy to maintain. I clean mine out about every two months and it still looks brand new and works awesome. I love not having to buy belts and bags for it too!
I had a German Shepherd and a Great Dane. The Shep. really sheds and the Dyson is worth every penny. I vacuumed with my old vac before I picked up my Dyson Animal (love the attachments for the furniture), came home and vacuumed again, I had the whole bin full of hair from just 2 rooms! We're getting a Bernese Mountain Dog puppy in a few weeks and I'm sure it will be to the challenge :)

We have two dogs and have a Dyson Animal Vac and I wouldn't trade it for anything. We have gone through Dirt Devils, Eureka Vacs and countless others - by far I am happiest with my Dyson.
I would say definatley yes, we have 2 goldens and went thru a vaccuum a year with them and bought our dyson 5 years ago we got the dyson animal I love it we have only had to replace the hepa filter once and that was because I did not realize they are washable they work wonderful, also I can reccomend the zorb beads as well it pulls the odor right out of the carpet, but test it first to make sure it does not bleach out the carpet. Good luck we just moved to gaylord and I am so glad we did I love it so far and can't wait to get to meet more people a little about me I am a paper addict, I scrap, card make, create and love crafts I also sell and hold weekly classes on scrapping, card making and other fun things. I sell stampin up as a way to support my hobby. And love the extra income it makes me.
