 great product at great price August 13, 2008
P.T.
After reading the reviews here on Amazon about this product I took the plunge and bought a Remanufactured Dyson DC17 Animal. This vacuum does everything the positive reviews say it does. The vacuum arrived in new looking condition and arrived in a timely fashion. This is a great product. Please don't let the remaufactured title frighten you off. I have less problems with my allergies than I've ever had. I can honestly say, "I'll never own any other vacuum other than a Dyson now". Thank-you Amazon for making this product available price-wise by offering a remaufactured option.
Great Product! August 11, 2008

This remanufactured Dyson is great! Shipping was very fast and it arrived in good condition -- very easy to assemble (basically just attach the handle). The very first time I used it, I couldn't believe all the cat hair it picked up -- I thought my house was clean! I had been looking at Dyson vacs for a long time, but wasn't sure I wanted to spend the money. I'm very happy with the remanufactured product -- great product for a great price!
 it SUCKS in more than one way August 11, 2008

The first way it SUCKS is on carpet - it can suck anything out of your carpet. Really pulls out all the dirt and picks up all the dog hair. You have plenty of cord but I've had my vacuum for 2 months and my cord is still so kinked it's a constant hassle the entire time I'm using the vacuum. I still don't understand, either, why the release is on the front of the vacuum. So you have to turn on the vacuum and then walk around to the front to release it so you can get to work. Nothing wrong with the way every other vacuum releases from the back of the vacuum!
Unfortunately, the second way it SUCKS is in the attachments. It is so poorly designed and so difficult to use the attachments. Everytime I use the vacuum I wind up cussing because of the attachments (I just finished using the vacuum so I'm ready to write a blistering review!). The pull out wand is cumbersome and hard for me to pull out since I have a bad shoulder. Plus it's not an adjustable length wand so the only way to dust tables is to just use the hose by pulling it out. Again because I have a bad shoulder I suffer a lot of pain trying to pull the hose and keep it out to dust. The hose is not long enough to dust with so you have to pull it out quite a bit and it is under a lot of tension. Then there are 3 other attachments which I havne't even figured out how to use or what they're for since there is no instruction manual, only a diagram.
I think the British? inventor should have studied American vacuums a little closer so that he could have incorporated better attachments. Newer is not always better if it's not backed up with common sense and good research. He should have had his mother give it a test drive!
Definitely not recommended for seniors or anyone with a disability except for carpet cleaning only.
I'm on my way to Walmart to buy another vacuum that I can use for dusting,upholestory cleaning, and everyday carpet cleaning. I think this vacuum will wind up in the back of the closet and only get used a few times a year for deep carpet cleaning.

Great product - works as described - this is a remanufactured machine but we couldnt tell when it came out of the package. Looks/functions brand new. Also came with a pile of attachments/ carpet cleaner / carpet refresher. Great purchase
Great vacuum August 3, 2008

Something that does what it says it will do. I vacuumed with our old vacuum and then with our Dyson 17 Animal and could not believe how much dirt and hair our other vacuum left behind. My dyson sucks, I mean really sucks (up the dirt) and I wouldn't trade it for any other vacuum.
