Dyson Animal DC07

Date Published: 2/5/04

A perfect choice for cat and dog owners, the Dyson Animal features all of the amenities of the “original” Dyson bagless, with a special focus on removing pet hair with great effectiveness.

What sets Dyson uprights apart from its bagless competitors is its Root8Cyclone technology, which subjects dirt and debris to a powerful centrifugal force to continually push dirt and debris to the outer edges of the plastic bin. This means there is no obstruction to the airflow, and suction power remains constant, providing a more consistent and powerful cleaning.

The vacuum's high-velocity airflow tools are also special because they won't stick to carpets or curtains. By directing the air down into the carpet pile, airflow is continuous, enabling better dirt pick up and gentler cleaning on delicate materials.

Other smart, forward-thinking design advantages include a reversible wand for reaching into awkward corners, edge-cleaning whiskers that are angled out to reach down between the baseboard and the floor, and a quick-draw 17-foot hose for improved reach on stairs and under low furniture without tipping the upright over. Automatic carpet height adjustment, brush roll on/off for safe cleaning on rugs and hard floors, and a trigger-release dust cup for neater dust disposal are other design advantages.

An environmental champion, the unit features a permanent HEPA filter and a Bactisafe screen, which traps and kills bacteria, mold, and allergens to help relieve the symptoms of asthma and allergies. With its powerful Root8Cyclone technology, the vacuum itself is designed to suck up nuisance pet hair with ease. But as pet owners can attest to, pet hair tends to gather and cling on furniture and gather in hard-to-reach areas where vacuums rarely venture.

The Animal is equipped with a compact Turbo tool designed to remove pet hair and lint from stubborn spots, such as upholstery, stairs, and the car. The tool features an air-powered brush bar to brush hair and fibers out of carpet pile and upholstery and into the unit's constant suction. Dyson's bagless uprights are the "original" and arguably the best bagless units available. Although a top-seller in Europe, the line has been available in the U.S. for only a few years, during which time they have moved into the mainstream market and are offered in stores around the country.

The Dyson Animal is a great choice for pet owners and a can't-miss selection in terms of quality, features, and benefits.
