Any cat owners out there who can give me some feedback on this?
They all say they do a great job on cat hair; that’s never been a problem for me. What is a problem is how my current vacuum cleaner has cat LITTER scattered throughout. It mostly settles in the bends in the “pipes” and stays there until I take the thing outside and hold it upside down and shake. I say mostly because there are still bits of litter rattling around in the housing that I’ll never completely get out. Absolutely none of it ever seems to make it into the bagless tank, though.
If this thing can actually get hunks of cat litter out of my carpet and all the way into the tank for disposal, it might be worth the money.
Dyson FTW. We own a DC25 and my only complaint would be sound level. You can justify wearing earplugs when using it. Otherwise it sucks better than __________(fill in the blank with your favorite adult film star).
Anyone know what the noise level is like with this one?
I have a Dyson dc14 and dc17 they are the best vacuums I have ever used. We use ours everyday and have never had a problem with them yet. This vacuum though I could only see being used once a month or so.
Thank you for this previous post. This is exactly what I wanted to know. I own a Dyson Animal and it worked great on our carpets, definately the best vacuum out there, but we have recently gone to almost all hardwood floors and an upright is too bulky and can’t be used to get under furniture. There is a detachable wand/handle but I find it difficult to use. and it doesn’t reach very far. This would be ideal for getting dog hair off the floors, alot less bulky and more manageable. Plus it’s $40 less than last time. I’m taking the plunge.
Can’t speak to this particular model - the turbine style. However, I bought the DC24 Blueprint edition when it was here on Woot a few months back. I was a non-believer in the Dyson hype, and even laughed at my mom for wanting one. Then the price on here was too good and I made an impulse purchase (let’s be honest, as with almost everything I’ve bought from woot!). It has been awesome on the cat hair from my cat and picked up more of all sorts of dirt than my old Hoover - which is now at Goodwill! I believe mine picks up litter, and that the turbine models are even stronger. Good luck!
I don’t have the DC 22, but I have the DC 25 Ball. If the vacuuming is similar, then cat litter shouldn’t be a problem. We use our dyson to pick up cat litter on both carpet and tile. It works fine on both and I’ve never had a problem with cat litter getting stuck inside it and/or not not making it to the canister.
I have a dyson - the first vacumm to never loose suction it says it is. well it has that in writing and all I mean.
Guess whatthough - it looses suction all the time - I take it apart and clean it all out several times a month - its a huge pain in the butt - just like any other vac. It does have one thing different from those other vacs though - when it get’s too much stuck on the beater bar it has not not ever cught fire - the plstic just kind of wers through and pices fall off when they get thin. but it still works. Just like any other vac.
oh there is one other difference - it costed almost 400.00 and has no real difference except that I can go right behind it with my 35 year old kirby and pull dirt like crazy from the carpet.
