Dyson DC14 Animal Review

My home is always full of people – with three kids, a large extended family, and friends always dropping in. I do enjoy the company but they tend to track in lots of dirt. I have gone through numerous vacuum cleaners in the past due to the heavy traffic. I don’t think I am hard on them. I just don’t think most of them are made to last. I have tried several brands and the all work well at first. However, before long they end up with not enough suction to get the job done to my satisfaction.

In my most recent quest to find a new vacuum, I came across the Dyson DC 14 Animal vacuum cleaner. I was very impressed by the reviews out there about it. Many consumers seemed to enjoy the power it offered. They also said it was very simple to use. With a price of about $400 I was initially nervous about it. I didn’t want to spend that money and not get much in return for it.

The first time I used my Dyson DC 14 Animal or saw the manual, I knew it was going to live up to my expectations. It was able to remove deep down dirt as well as small pebbles and sand from my carpets. At the same time though it was very gentle on my carpet so I didn’t have to worry about it being damaged in the process. Another bonus is that this vacuum is designed to pick up pet hair. I have owned many vacuums in the past where that was a prime factor for them becoming clogged.

I love my pets and I wouldn’t trade them for anything. Yet I do have to admit in the past I have been extremely annoyed due to pet hair. It can get on your clothing when they have been on your furniture. Now that I use the Dyson DC 14 Animal though it isn’t a problem any more. I do have to vacuum more when my pets are shedding due to the seasons, but this vacuum can easily handle that collection of the hair.

The technology that is found with the Dyson DC 14 Animal is far ahead of other forms of vacuums. It is this technology that allows it to work when you need it to. You aren’t going to have to deal with clogs or with the suction being less than what you had when you first bought it. The filter will remove dust, debris, and even allergens from your home as you vacuum. This filter is very simple to clean and you will never have to replace it. I do wipe my with paper towels now and then just to keep it looking nice!

I also have noticed that my family is less harshly affected during allergy season. This is due to the Dyson DC 14 Animal removing a great deal of the allergens from our home. My daughter used to miss tons of school due to her allergies and I notice that wasn’t a common occurrence this season. I spend less time dusting too because this vacuum is able to remove plenty of the particles from the air that used to settle all over our home.

Since the Dyson DC 14 Animal doesn’t contain a bag, you don’t have to worry about it getting clogged up. In the past I have had to be very careful what I vacuumed with my equipment. We all know that some objects tend to create huge problems. In fact, I even made a rule in my home that only I could use vacuums in the past. That way I could avoid the bigger items my kids would just vacuum up. This one though is able to easily suction up what others would be clogged by.

I am not very mechanical in nature, so the fact that there is no bag, no belts, and no filters to replace is good news to me. My husband often works out of town so in the past when such things needed to be done on my vacuum it would have to wait for him to arrive. It was also annoying to try to find the right items due to the various ones offered for each make and model of vacuum. With all of these aspects of using the vacuum eliminated I can just plug it in and use it.

I like to be able to see what my vacuum is picking up, and that is another thing I like about the Dyson DC 14 Animal. I can see the amount of dirt, dust, hair, debris, and other items that are being picked up from any one room in my home. This is how I used to start to realize that my other vacuums weren’t picking up as well as they did in the past. I don’t have that problem with this one though. It consistently gets everything on my floors every single time.

Everything you collect will be kept inside too. If you are like me, one of the frustrations of emptying a vacuum cleaner after use is that some of the dust and particles end up back in the air or even on the floor during the process no matter how careful you happen to be. Well, you won’t have that problem anymore with the Dyson DC 14 Animal. With pull the trigger and it is done!

With all of the accessories, you will have every tool you need to clean your home. They are easy to use so you can go from vacuuming your floors with the Dyson DC 14 Animal to cleaning your stairs, your vehicle, the curtains, and even your furniture. I love being able to vacuum underneath the beds too without having to move it out. The wand can be extended 17 feet so I now use it to do my stairs too. This is more effective than one of those smaller versions of vacuums that I used to use for this task.

I have bare flooring in my kitchen and bathrooms that I also clean with my Dyson DC 14 Animal. There is a dial on it that will prevent the brush bar from turning when you aren’t on carpet. This is more effective than having to use a broom and dustpan to clean up in these areas of my home.

Most people don’t realize how much dust and allergens accumulate in this area of a home. The fact that all of the accessories fit onto the actual vacuum means they are at your fingertips. They won’t get lost and you won’t need to find a place in your home to store them. These accessories are simple enough to put on and take off too. You won’t have to get out the owner’s manual to figure out how they fit in place like I have had to with other vacuums I have owned.

The Dyson DC 14 Animal is very mobile too. This is a very important point to make. I have owned bulky vacuums that were very heavy. It made it hard to maneuver them around my home. It also made me dread the task of vacuuming. Even though this is a top performer, it moves around very easily. It is lightweight too which means you can carry it to other levels of your home if you don’t have everything on one floor. The handle is ergonomically correct too which will mean you aren’t harming your body when you use it.

I get plenty of compliments on keeping my home looking so nice. I do appreciate that people notice, but mostly I like the comfort level it gives me. I can allow my kids to run around the house with their shoes off because I know the floors are clean. I also don’t sweat the small stuff. I allow them to eat cookies or other foods in the living room. I know my Dyson DC 14 Animal will help me to take care of all that they leave behind in no time at all. Before I did my best to keep as much off of the floor as I could so that my old vacuums didn’t have to work so hard.

It has been more than six months since I invested in my Dyson DC 14 Animal. I think I have finally found a vacuum that can handle the amount of use I get out of it. I am extremely happy with it and I am sure you will be too. I don’t think I will ever go with another brand of vacuum again. My only regret is that I didn’t find this one a long time ago. It would have saved me a great deal of money as well as frustration. I am glad I invested in such a vacuum instead of another one that would have failed me in a short period of time again.

I am confident this particular vacuum is going to last me a very long time. It is about time a company makes the effort to offer such a great performing item. After all, for most homes having a vacuum is a necessity. Yet most of them just don’t have the power to complete the job effectively. They may at first, but it doesn’t take long for them to start lagging.

At the same time, the Dyson DC 14 Animal is extremely durable. I don’t have to worry that it isn’t going to stand up to the test of time. If you are tired of dealing with a vacuum that doesn’t do the job as good as you would like, then now is the time to make the change. When I first got mine, I vacuumed a particular area of my living room with my old vacuum. Then I went over it with they Dyson and I was SHOCKED. You will not believe how much it picked up! Make sure you try this when you get your own so you can see what you have been missing out on.

No matter what types of carpet or flooring you have, the Dyson DC 14 Animal is going to be very effective on it. If your home is like mine, you have several different types of flooring to deal with. It successfully cleans my plush bedroom carpet as well as the more delicate material that I have in my living room. I love being able to depend on one vacuum to care for all of them.

You can purchase the Dyson DC 14 Animal from plenty of retailers out there. You can also go online to get one shipped to you. Don’t waste your time with vacuums that just don’t have the ability to perform like you need them to. The fact that they Dyson DC also comes with a five year warranty says a great deal to me. It shows that the company stands behind what they offer.

For me, that was a refreshing change. I have become very skeptical of the world of advertising. I buy things that promise certain things and then they fail to deliver. This is why I always do my research online in order to help decide what I should spend my money on. I have found the Dyson Company to be one that does deliver in every aspect that it promises. That is why I will forever be one of their satisfied customers.

While you do pay more for a Dyson DC 14 than other vacuum cleaners, you get what you pay for. Why pay for a cheaper one that you aren’t going to be happy with? By the same token, why pay hundreds of dollars for one that doesn’t hold up to the claims it makes. You aren’t going to be unhappy at all with the Dyson DC 14 Animal. It is an amazing product that I use with confidence to keep my home clean. If you are using anything else, you aren’t getting yours as clean as it could be.
