Not as good as the uprights!Review created: 18/01/07(updated 27/02/08)

Having had an upright DC01 for many years with no problems, it seemed logical to get a cylinder Dyson when we moved to our old cottage with a combination of carpets, floorboards, tiles and uneven stone floors.
We also have four cats which is another reason for choosing a Dyson as from experience with the DC01, nothing picks up pet hair so efficiently.
I was really excited about using this new Dyson for the first time as I thought they would have made huge improvements to them over the years and with it being specifically for hard floors and pet owners I was sure it would be the ultimate vacuum.
Sure it still has brilliant suction to pick up the pet hairs but, the hose is fitted to one side of the vacuum so that if you don't clip it into the front when you pull it it turns sideways all the time rather than following you around the room. Also, the extending part of the hose doesn't always lock into place so it ends up getting shorter as you vacuum!
The Turbo Head is ok but not as good as an upright at picking up hairs as it works only when you push it. The machine is also bulky and heavy to carry. And, the fact that the hose wraps around the machine isn't anything to get excited about and I hardly ever bother doing it as it's so cumbersome.
Don't get me wrong, this is a good vacuum and if you must have a cylinder cleaner then I'd say buy this one but, for this sort of money (mine was about £250) and with all the claims they make about it, I expected more. My DC01 was/is much better and given the choice again, I would choose one of their upright models.

MAC'S DC08 ANIMAL REVIEWReview created: 03/06/07

I decided to buy a new Dyson as my previous DC04 was showing signs of giving up the ghost after years of faithful service.
Once, I had a demonstration form Kirby at my home and was very impressed but was unable to justify the £1000+ price tag for a vacuum cleaner. The Dyson seemed a better compromise.
Having cats and dogs here at home, my attention was drawn to the Animal models of the Dyson range because of its design and filters so, having scrutinised the Ebay site for a DC08, I eventually found one.
It was a very different proposition from the old model. It is lighter, more powerful and removes dirt and pet hair with apparent ease. It also picks up larger items such as small pieces of wood and ash, from the woodburner. The old model just pushed these around, but the DC08 removes them effortlessly.
Overall, I am delighted with the Dyson and would recommend it to any pet owner.

Having had an upright dyson for a number of years I deciced to go for a cylinder model.This model is exellent,much more suction than an upright model.It picks up really well and even tackles my daughters long hair.Wish I had purchased years ago.Moves around well and tools are easy to use,only slight drawback is weight but it is compact and easy to carry round.

This Hoover does what its ment to do then more i purchased one after ours died i was very impressed with the power and unlike bagged hoovers the dyson failed to loose any suction even after it was filled above the max fill mark on the side.
all the switches and catches are made to last and easy to operate unlike other machines i have owned which is a good thing, the parts all unclip so if something were to go wrong it does'nt have to go to the shop to get fixed you just buy the replacement part and clip it back in place
To sum up this hoover i would say its a tough machine with loads of power and if you can get one cheap then get one im sticking to dyson's from now on

I bought the Dyson Animal because I was fed up with indifferent performances from other hoovers. They were just no good at picking up pet hairs.

Easy to use, excellent suction, light to carry around, easy to empty and clean. Took me a while to work out that the wand extends!!!!!!!!! Tool holder gets in the way but otherwise an excellent machine

dyson dc08 bagless cylinder vacuum cleaner
) 1 of 1 people found this review helpful.
The main reason for the purchase is the suction power and the bagless aspect and the service from dyson if it goes wrong. for a small comparative fee they will replace almost all that is wrong with the machine. The only negative is that the telescopic arm is rather bulky and awkward to handle at times and the animal hair head sometimes accumulates too much fluff rather then go into the cylinder

WORST VACUME EVER !!!!Review created: 14/11/09
by:
Do not buy, i have one and it's nothing only a trouble, you spend all you time trying to clean it out a it get clogged up all the time, stops picking up pet hairs, the parts are hard to get, worst dyson that they have made. I did have the first dyson that they made, and it was great, but this one would drive you to drink. total waste of money, and you couldn't give it away.

Dyson Animal The BestHave had various Dyson models over the years (with dogs and budgies in mind). Always had uprights but now getting older thought I'd try the animal cylinder
as lighter to push hose round. It is brilliant and gets more up to the edge than upright. Gets all dog hairs an bird feathers up with ease as well as other muck and dust. Have got the Dyson Animal cylinder wrap around which is light,compact, easy to store,easier to manage,good with stairs. In fact, am now looking to get a 2nd one for upstairs as well! So, bye bye uprights (sorry you've served me well Dyson over many years) and hello Dyson cylinder. I would never use any other make-tried them all and Dyson is THE BEST for me and the pets!! Keep the flag flying Dyson.
