Dyson DC28 Animal
Dyson DC28 Animal - I picked up the Dyson from a popular retail home goods store for 20% off the MSRP. Assembly was simple. Snap the Quick-draw Telescope Reach(tm) wand into the flexible hose and fit the wand onto the body of the vacuum. Remove various pieces of cardboard. Vacuum. I live in an apartment with two cats; one of which sheds a lot (we call him fur pants). I had been using a Dirt Devil Featherlite Bagless Upright Vacuum for about 3 years. It picked up large pieces of dirt, and sometimes the smaller pieces. We used it a lot to vacuum cat litter in the cat’s room as well. I’ve used the attachments a few times as well. One thing I noticed about the Dirt Devil is that whenever I wanted to use an attachment or empty the canister, I had to practically prepare myself for an asthma attack. Dirt and dust everywhere. And the thing is…if I pull out an attachment to clean, the first thing I clean is the dirt that’s made by disconnecting the hose from head to the attachment! Anyway, ol’ devil started to burn plastic and rubber when I ran it and I’d been looking for a toy. I did a lot of research and almost went with the Bissell 5770 Healthy Home Bagless Upright Vacuum, but I’m a man who demands the highest quality products with proven results and reputation. The Dyson DC28 Delivers. My wife had vacuumed with the Dirt Devil 3 days before I vacuumed with the Dyson. The Dyson picked up so much hair, dirt, dust, and debris embedded in the carpet that I filled the canister when vacuuming my living room and office. Mind you, my apartment is only 720 sq ft. I vacuumed the living room again to pick up even more dust, dirt, hair, and debris! Amazing. The flat out tool that comes with the DC 28 is amazing and is the most useful vacuum tool I’ve ever used. Between my long arms and the reach of the telescope-reach wand, I was able to get all but 8 inches from one side of the bed. I quickly went to the other and finished up the job. The power of the machine is amazing, as well as the versatility of the machine and accessories. My wife even dusted her shoes with the multi-use attachment brush head! As you power on the machine and select the depth of carpet from the buttons on the base of the handle, the vacuum adjusts it’s posture such that you can feel it literally clamp itself to the floor with relentless grip. The power and weight remind me more of a carpet shampoo machine because it is so firm and weighted in it’s engagement to the floor. Some might complain that this vacuum is too heavy. I would complain that they are too weak. I am not a body builder – I am a regular person. It’s a little rougher, but I’m not soar or requiring days of recover to rebuild my muscular tissue. It’s not as big of a deal as some reviewers would have you believe. The weight is a plus when using the attachments because you are less prone to knock it down when demanding reach and flexibility out of the hose. If you’re a lightweight (being less than 130 lbs) or are in horrible physical shape, get yourself a Dyson DC24. If not, get the DC28. This is the first time vacuuming has been both effective and fun. — by Steven Hernandez
