DC15 Animal ball vs DC17: Does anyone have any experience with comparing these two models?

The DC17 is the better machine due to the fact that it uses a upgraded filtration system that does a much more efficient job at filtering sand and dust. After vacuuming a household with the DC15, you will find dust and sand on the prefilter, which indicates that it does not handle dust and sand particles as well as you think. However, the Level 3 Root Cyclone on the DC17 is much, much more efficient at seperating sand and dust from the airstream. It does so with the addition of two intermediate cyclones that handle the bulk of the particles, with eight of the Root Cyclones to filter out the finer particles. I have vacuumed my household many times this past week, and so far there are no traces of dust or sand on the prefilter. The DC17 also does a better job at agitating carpets than the DC15. The DC17 uses a large diameter brushroll that has short stiff bristles, which allows for extremely efficient deep cleaning compared to many of its competitors, as well as every other Dyson model. The DC15 has a smaller brushroller that still outperforms the DC07 and DC14, but is nothing compared to the DC17. In addition, the DC17 is much more powerful than the DC15. The DC17 is rated at 250 airwatts, whereas the DC15 is rated at 220.

The DC 39 is much more compact. It's head is only about 6" wide. I bought it because I live in a studio apartment. If I lived in a bigger space, I would have gone with the DC 47.

So sorry but don't know. We've been most happy with ours and use the DC18RA

The motor head is worse the brush bar barely touches the floor. I have had both the dc59 animal and the dc59 Motörhead and I like the animal much better. Dyson claims the motorhead works better due to its stand alone powered brush bar but I beg to differ. I think they failed with the brush bar itself and didn't put it low enough. Get the animal, it's a cheaper better vacuum.

I have a DC07 in repair right now. I was told by the repair person that the newly manufactured Dyson's have a 5 year because they have inproved some of the wear/tear parts in them. He said the new ones are gear driven where as the older model have cluthes and belts.

Manueverability is slightly easier with the DC15 than with the DC17, however, you generally need to do some thorough back and fourth passes to get most of the dirt out of the carpets. INMO, the only floor surfaces that the DC15's manueverability comes in handy is on tiled and hardwood floors. But the cool thing about the DC17 is that it's powerful brushroll pulls the machine across the floor. All you have to do is steer it which direction you want to go.

I was on Dyson's website and they said they no longer make the 65 Animal. I just ordered this and thought it was an animal one. I hope I am not disappointed? I had the Dyson 17 Animal Since 2008. I did have to take it apart twice because of loss of suction in the cylinder. I watched a YouTube video. But after cleaning several clogged cylinders it was like new. I had to do it again yesterday and used too much torque and broke a mount which left a gap and the suction....sucked. Does the brush still spin on wood floors?

Both are bag less. The DC41 is the newer model. I don't know how it was changed.

This ball would be great for both of your dogs' sizes (this ball is as big if not bigger than a soccer ball) - but I would actually say it has to do with the shape of their snout/nose/ jaw if they could grip it to carry it around or fetch. My dog was about 17kg, too and he loved it but he chewed it apart. My 20 pound beagle/dachshund loved it and could carry it around just fine - more of the beagle mouth than dachshund.

Hello V. - you may notice a difference as the AC1750 gives "ultimate" coverage vs the AC1600 giving the best coverage. Hope this helps.

Just put my DC33 on the scale, and it is just over 17 lbs. But I also checked the Hoover upright I replaced, and that is just under 17 lbs although it felt much heavier. I think the DC33 is better balanced. I have bursitis in my shoulder and a lower back injury, and I find the Dyson much easier to use.

Perhaps the difference is the Dyson DC65 Multi Floor has the ability to automatically adjust to floor heights, while the DC65 Animal does not. That is a guess, I am not sure if that is correct. I am not the sales person, but I can say the vacumn I got did a fabulous job of picking up cat and dog hairs!

Funny you should ask............before I bought the Magnum Dynalab MD807 (which I love!) I ordered the Grace from Amazon. I was completely unimpressed -- it did the job, but the Sangean seemed to be better built and more functional. That was about two years ago, so I can't give a detailed reaction. But I repacked it in its original box and returned it to Amazon the very next day after I received it. No loss!

I think the difference between the DC59 Animal and the DC58 Non-animal (I don't believe there is a non-animal DC59) is the attachments. The DC59 comes with the long floor attachment to allow the vacuum to be used as a full length floor vacuum (along with a bigger carpet attachment) along with several other upholstery and a ceiling fan attachment. The DC58 just comes with the regular attachments but doesn't have the long tube to extend or any of the powered attachments. So basically you're paying extra to be able to use this handheld like a full size and have several attachments designed to get pet hair (and other stuff) off the couch cushions and the stairs and the ceiling fan. . .
