Amazing product June 15, 2008
We searched many web sites before finding the best price on Amazon. I was reluctant to spend so much money for a vacuum, but it is well worth the price, especially if you have pets. Even factory refurbished, it is in perfect condition. Purchasing was easy and shipping was quick. Thank you Amazon.
remanufactured is a good deal June 11, 2008
I took a chance on buying the remanufactured DC17, and I am very pleased with it. It looked completely new when I unboxed it- I wasnt sure what I would see after reading some of the reviews, but I had no problem assembling it, I found the directions easy to understand, even though they are pretty funny little pictures- no writing! I didnt need any tools to assemble it. It took me about 5 minutes or less to put it together. it vacuums much better than my previous vacuum - a Hoover windtunnel or something which I paid about 300 dollars for - which is now long gone- took it to the dump! I have not had any problems with clogging and we are remodeling our house- dry wall dust, chunks of dirt, you name it- Im vacuuming it up with this thing. I especially like the filter- it really does filter the dust. I think it was definitely worth the money, especially being a rebuilt model.

This Vacuum is amazing! I have 2 dogs that shed constantly. This vacuum will get 100% of the dog hair out of the carpet.
Dyson Animal DC17 - Makes Vacuuming Easy! June 9, 2008

I settled on this vacuum after reading a number of reviews. I am not disappointed!
I used the Amazon 2 day free shipping to a US address (I live in Canada)then brought it across (cost an additional $35 to get across for gst, pst and duty as item is made in Malaysia).
The vacuum came in a brown box and was very well packaged. It was amazing pulling all those attachments and extras out (never seemed to end!). The instructions booklet was well written and in multiple languages.
Did some vacuuming (of course!) and was impressed. Loved the pull out hose. That is a great feature for me. I actually only have 3 area rugs, but the vacuum also did very well on bare floors. The mini beater bar attachment worked fantastic for the couch. We have a cat and a dog and the hair sometimes make it's way to the couch (cat is allowed, but dog isn't - since when does a dog listen anyway?). Then went over to my mother's and vacuumed her house (wall to wall carpet). She was very impressed. She admitted that she vacummed the day before and I pulled all the carpet up and collected a container full of debris. Then I brought it to a commercial property that we own. Cleaning was a breeze. The pull out handle worked like a dream on the stairs and in tight spaces. People that we hire to clean also loved the vacuum. Yes it is heavier than most vacuums, but to me is didn't matter as the other features more than made up for the weight.
So far really impressed.
One of the marks of a good company is its customer service. The only problem that I have encountered is that one of the attachments was missing a small wheel. I called the 1-800 number in the booklet and the person on the line was professional and courteous. He directed me to the Canadian 1-800 number. I then called that number and the female on the other line was upbeat and sounded like she truly enjoyed being a customer service agent. I explained that I was missing a part and she took my number and said that a technician would call me back. The technician did call me back in about an hour (customer service agent said within 15 min) and informed me that the vacuum I purchased was made for the US. Apparently they are made or packaged differently for Canada, Europe and the United States. Nevertheless, he was professional and understood which part I was speaking about. He said it would be shipped, at no charge to me, via Purolater and would arrive in a couple days. The part is now here as promised.
I recommend this vacuum because it is very versatile. It has fantastic suction and does the job whether you are doing carpets, floors or cleaning up those cobwebs in the ceiling corners. The reconditioned description didn't worry me and it also came with a 6 month warranty (as opposed to a 5 year for a non-reconditioned vacuum). The vacuum that I purchased was in brand new condition.
The cons so far are few. Be careful vacumming around stringy items (mother's bedspread had a fringe which the vacuum quickly wrapped around the beater bar). Also although the vacuum comes with an appreciated long cord, it would have been nice if it retracted. Vacuum is a little on the noisier side as well, but I suppose that is to be expected for the power it generates. The debris container does fill fast with the heavier items (dirt, sand) falling to the bottom and the hair sometimes congregating between the cyclone and the plastic container. Most times it does come out when using the very simple push button to open the bottom hatch (I give it a gentle twist back and forth and it dislodges). Otherwise you can separate the canister from the cyclone and clean it out there.
5 out of 5 stars for this Dyson DC17.
