Does the dyson dc17 animal vacuum really work for the money?

Question

we are getting ready to buy a new vacuum, and i wanted to know if this is worth all the money

Answer 1

I have the DC16 for allergens etc.

Yes it sucks up the whole lot. (careful of fringes on rugs - it doesn't like them)

Is heavy to use, requires thorough detaching of hairs from brushes underneath, especially first few times of using - you will be amazed what your old cleaning didn't pick up!
