Dyson DC41 Animal Upright Vacuum - CLOSEOUT

Comments about Dyson DC41 Animal Upright Vacuum:

It really sucks!! LOL I got my Dyson DC41 two months ago and I simply love it. I have two puppies who love to play in the dirt and my new vacuum picks up even the finest of dust. It also sucks dog hair like crazy. My floors have never been cleaner. I can vacuum, then mop, with no lingering dog hair. I would recommend this vacuum to anyone with animals.

I was skeptical about it being worth the money but I am here to tell you that I am a changed man. We have two golden retrievers and two young children and needless to say, our house gets dirty... fast. When our old vacuum broke I went and reviewed vacuums online and while I found information stating that lesser vacuum very similar to what I had that just broke would do as good of a job as the Dyson...my wife still pushed for the Dyson and I gave in. With two kids and a chaotic life it's often me that ends up using it and I can tell you even though our previous vacuum was highly rated, the Dyson is a superior machine. After the first pass through our house I made the comment to my wife that the canister was too small. Like other reviewers what I found is that it was picking up years of dirt left behind by the old vacuum. Subsequent cleanings definitely had less dirt in the canister. I was also skeptical about the ball but after use love it. It's much easier to maneuver around things. Best of all our home just feels "cleaner." For those thinking about this vacuum, I remind you that in the beginning that I as the one saying no but now would never trade it for another... well, maybe another Dyson.

This was well worth the money. After I brought it home and put it together I then used my old vacuum and did the living room. I then went over the living room carpet with the animal and the canister was almost half full with dust and other particles. It amazed me how much my old vacuum missed and how well the Dyson worked. Will and would recommend it to anyone looking for a new vacuum. Thanks Dyson!

I wanted this vacuum for awhile. Obviously the price is what kept me from purchasing this years ago. My husband surprised me with the DC 41 animal after yet another vacuum broke. I've been through 4 vacuums in the last 8 years. Rediculous! My last one said it was specifically for animal hair. Apparently they meant non shedding pets. I have 2 dogs, a puppy (chewed up things all over, all the time) and a Siberian husky. Shedding is a nightmare! Not to mention my toddler dropping food for a living. The DC 41 can handle everything!! For once in my life I'm excited to vacuum! My dog's shedding hair doesn't clog this vacuum! No more sticking hangers through the vacuum! I've had the Dyson for about 4 months now. It's so easy to maneuver around furniture, easy to empty the canister and it's so lightweight! My toddler pushes it around and vacuums! I'll never buy another brand!

Have owned the vaccum for 6 months, moved it upstairs where there is nothing but carpeting. Machine does not clean hard wood floors effectively, leaves dirt between tile and not very effective on cleaning the edges of area rugs. The issues is if the floors are uneven, or there is a ledge, or you go from a area rug to the hard wood, dirt is left behind. The hand tools are not designed to work effectively and leave behind, dust, dog hair, cat hair but do a great job of collecting the dog hair on the out side of the tool. We purchased this machine because our Original Animal finaly died after 8 years of continuous use. Based on the reviews sounded like a solid buy, but....it does not live up to the hipe unless this is a defective unit. And now the sytem is broke, a little wheel on the brush head fell out and it does not clean. And with the other vacuum we had, never cleaned the filters, so why do I have to continously clean these. Missed the old one, house was clean, dog hair was gone and now have to find another vacuum to fill the void on the main living areas...

I bought a Dyson DC41 Animal couple of months ago. For the HUGE amount of money that this vacuum costs, I was and am VERY disappointed in its performance. I have owned canisters, uprights and bagless vacuums. This vacuum does outperform most but is not worth the cost. The engineers who design these machines should watch people in their homes use them. For instance, why would someone design this vacuum’s beater brush to turn off just because you bring it to a more upright position?! And about that beater brush... it needs TWICE the bristles that it has to get up dog hair. I have 2 large dogs that shed and I have to go over and over and over and over the carpet to get the hair up. Then the hair wraps around the bar. Same goes for the upholstery attachment. The canister that holds the dirt and hair is not nearly large enough and I don’t like that I have to put my hand in there and pull out the hair. I also don’t like that the ball doesn’t let the vacuum get under furniture. I thought about getting a dyson canister instead but the dirt container is even smaller. So, Dyson engineers, you need to rethink your design and the ridiculous amount of money that these machines cost.

I just purchased my 4th Dyson!! I bought the DC41 Animal and I couldn't be happier with this vacuum. It's perfect for dog owners. Very happy with my purchase. Patty

After years of coveting a Dyson vacuum, my husband finally bought me one after years of frustration of our old vacuum. I fell in love with Dyson DC41 and have never felt this way about a vacuum before. It has helped me clean up the very dirty mess (dirt, hair, pet hair, etc) in my home that my ex-vacuum left behind. I couldn't be happier with my new Dyson. The first day I used it, I was mad (irritated that my ex-vacuum did a terrible job of picking up anything) and happy (that Dyson is finally picking up our big mess). Another HUGE plus, my daily allergies that I use to have has improved tremendously! Thank you Dyson, for making me a very happy housewife!!!

We have owned a Dyson for about 60 days. I have to admit I was really excited about getting the vacuum. I'm called the vacuum king in my house and was really looking forward to getting the carpets, floors and couch very clean. Unfortunately I have been mostly disappointed with the vacuum. The vacuum works well on carpet but seems to really struggle on hard surfaces. It will not pick up small pieces of paper, dirt, pet hair, etc unless you go directly over the top of the dirt--it seems that a vacuum with so much advertised suction should suck the dirt into the vacuum when getting close but I find that dirt in corners or on base board edges will not be picked up by the vacuum unless I use the crevice tool. (my old vacuum, which is more than 20 years old will suck dirt and pet hair when I get within 2-3 inches. It seems to have stronger suction than the Dyson) It is also quite cumbersome to use the attachments with the hose. When trying to vacuum the stairs I can only go a few feet away from the vacuum or the pull of the hose will tip the vacuum over. The Dyson is too wide to fit on the stairs so I have to carry the vacuum up the stairs and hold it with one hand and vacuum with the other. We didn't return the vacuum within the 30 day window because I was honestly concerned that I was doing something wrong--I kept wondering how could this vacuum be advertised to be so good and do such a poor job of cleaning? If you have only one floor and all carpeted surfaces I think the Dyson will do an above average job for you but it is not as good as I thought it would be. Please do your homework and review other vacuums before purchasing a Dyson. I continue to be disappointed and even discouraged that I fell for the advertising and really expected it to be as good as advertised.

Easy and quick to assemble. Emptying the Canister is quick and simple. I was using another Upright, highend cleaner for the past few years. I had brand new carpet installed 3 months ago. I do not wear shoes in my house. I vacuum 1 time per week. The carpet looked clean. Now this is no exaggeration here: The first time I used the DC41 Animal, the canister filled up 3 times before it stopped picking up dirt. The canister takes les than a minute for me to remove, empty and re-install. I have always dreaded vacuuming. But these Dyson's are fun to use. It is like playing with a cool toy the way it manuevers aroung and does it's work. The vacuum is an ANIMAL. It picks up cat hair that I did not even know existed embedded in my new carpet. This thing sucks out dirt way down embedded in the carpet. That "Ball" you see in the picture has wheels on each side and allows you to get around corners and edges. It almoste drives itself once you use it a couple of times and get a feel for it. Again: Very well and ergonomically designed. And well worth the money. Lastly. It is an awesome looking piece of equipment. Looks like a work of Art. Just a beautiful design. Buy one.
