Core Dyson features and technology, plus:
Dyson is all about developing new and better technology, so that our vacuum cleaners give the highest performance, room after room. We are driven by continuous improvement and new ideas to make things that work properly. A Dyson vacuum is different to others as it uses patented Root Cyclone technology to spin dirt out of the airflow and straight into the bin. With no bags to clog, a Dyson vacuum doesn’t lose suction.
Unlike others, there is no need to buy replacement bags or filters and so you could save up to £175 over five years (costs based on recommended five year usage by the manufacturer in June 2009). All Dyson vacuums are repeatedly tested for an equivalent of 10 years use to ensure durability. The air expelled from a Dyson vacuum has up to 150 times less mould and bacteria than the air you breathe, which is one of the reasons why Dyson upright and cylinder vacuums carry the British Allergy Foundation Seal of Approval.

This is my second Dyson and I absolutely love it! I never cease to be amazed at what it sucks up...even when the carpet or floor doesn't look that dirty. I have two cats and it effectively vacuums up their hair/fur off of the floor and furniture. For anyone struggling choosing between an upright and a canister, I use the hard floor attachment on the wand and the rest of the Dyson "follows" along behind me on its wheels, very similar to a canister. This DC27 model does NOT make that horrible buzzing sound when the front edge of the vacuum hits the baseboards, like our first Dyson vacuum did. I also love how easy it is to empty the dust and dirt it picks up - one touch is all it takes. Your hands need never touch the dirt! I do not find the weight to be an issue as one of the other persons who posted a comment did. It feels sturdy and well-made to me. Dyson is the only vacuum I will ever buy based on my experience with them.

We go this delivered on Saturday and what a change from our previous Vacuum.
Previously we have bought 'cheap' (Sub £100) vacuums from the supermarket. We have a dog who sheds hair constantly and it goes everywhere. Our last one was supposed to be a 'Animal' one but apart from the Dalmatian markings it didn't appear to be any good.
This Friday we had enough and decided to look at getting a Dyson. Previous friends had always warned us away from them as 'constantly breaking' which is why we went for cheaper models. What a mistake by us!
We narrowed down our search to this model and Dyson DC25 Animal Lightweight Dyson Ball Upright Vacuum Cleaner for Pet Owners. Although the DC25 was the newer 'Ball' model it had a much smaller collection bin. Our dog sheds a lot of hair and we wanted to be able to clean the whole house without having to constantly empty the dust bin. We felt that we'd prefer the larger bin and have not been disappointed. The bin is really easy to empty and even easier to remove. Our old Vac needed the hose to be removed and to be dismantled before you could get the collector out. Even then the collector needed taking apart which made emptying a nightmare and also very messy! The DC27 is just a click of a button.
It does come with a mini-head for furniture. This made removing the dog hairs from the sofa a breeze. Having recently changed from a Leather suite to a fabric one, cleaning the dog hairs has been harder. The Dyson makes sort work of sofas and curtains!
If there had to be a downside to the Dyson DC27 then it is the weight. The DC27 is heavy. If you are pushing it around then it isn't a problem and it moved freely on both laminate and carpet. Only lugging it up the stairs reminded you that it is a bit of a beast! It is for this reason only that I've given it 4 out of 5 stars. Life is always about compromises though and if you are looking for the best cleaning power then your can't have everything. The Dyson does come with a 5 year warranty which means that we'll have trouble free cleaning for the next 5 years. Bearing in mind we've previously been buying a 'cheap' hoover every 18 months, the Dyson should also work-out cheaper!
Once again Amazon manages an amazing deal on price. Other shops (including on-line) were coming in £60-80 more expensive than Amazon. Whether this was a short term deal by Amazon I'm not sure but factoring in the saving for the DC27 Animal means that you can opt for quicker delivery and still cost you less than most places.
If you've never owned a Dyson before I can recommend the switch. There are other models that Dyson offer but this one looks to be the best solution for Pet owners looking to deal with troublesome pet hairs! It managed to make our carpets look really clean and shows that cheaper vacuum cleaners really can be a false economy.

I bought the Animal 27 last week and I've not been disappointed.
It replaced my old Dyson DC04 (retro) which packed in after over 5 years loyal service. I thought about a Miele, but I was so used to having a bagless cleaner I decided to stick to Dyson.
The only bits that need putting together are the hose attachemnt, and adding the tools to the main body.
I have a black labrador, who sheds the usual amount of hair, and leaves the usual amount of muddy paw prints on the carpet. The fisrt time I used it I was shocked at how it stuck to the carpet! You know when you're using it it's really working. The nozzle attachment is really good, and a lot better than my old one.
When it comes to emptying it, it's a lot easier than my last one. It empties for the bottom, which means no more dust going everywhere.
I haven't mentioned delivery because I didn't get it through Amazon but still wanted to review it.
In short, if you've got pets this is the hoover for you!
