Does the DYSON Animal upright ever smell? Does the Dyson do this?

I've got 4 dogs and a cat. Live on a dirt road thus vacuum every other day. (I'm going to marry James Dyson if he'll ever return my calls...) I get the smell too especially when the unit has been running for several minutes. I found washing the filter more often (w/ all the dogs 6 months is way, way to long. I was making a blanket!) at least every 2 months and also the bin every month. Really seems to have cut done on the odors. Just had mine in for service. Dyson picked up the tab as it was still under warranty. Had to ship it to Texas but they had it back to me running like a top in less than a week. Can't beat their customer service, I get the reps name and ID number and have little trouble getting them again anytime I've had to call. Had several belts shipped to me for the price of a phone call and being pleasant and polite. Never hurts to grease the wheel when you want something. Stephanie

My young dog did not. My very old dog has on occasion but I feel it is just her age. The cleaning power and smell is very nice. It cleans, does not mask the odor.

No. I have Carpet, Wood, Laminate and Stone floors and my Dyson DC50 Animal works like magic on every one. I also have 3 dogs that leave hair all over the place! I absolutely Love this product!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This vac is no louder than any normal vac. It shouldn't smell. Do you see any smoke? Hoover has good customer service you should call them.

Everything has a smell. I do and you do (that is why our dogs can find us in the dark). Thus the question becomes: How sensetive is your odor sensor? Therefore, yes, I am certain that it does have a smellHave I smelled it? I am sure that I must have even if I am not aware of it.

Hello, I'm not entirely sure - It might not have one. That said, I again used this vacuum and was blown away at how much dog hair it picked up. You'll empty the canister often as it's small (and change the filter) but I think well worth it.

It does have an odor, an odor that smells likes machinery, but I've had asthma and allergies my entire life and I like this machine. It does not smell like dust that you just vacuumed up. Btw, I forgot to say, I've had asthma my entire life, and it often helps to use albuterol via pump or via nebulizer about 5-10 minutes before vacuuming. At times it didn't help, it was best not to vacuum. This vacuum however has not put the dust back into the air like many with HEPA filter do. In the past I had a $400 vacuum that put out zero smell, but it broke and cannot be fixed. So I tried this one from amazon and it works well, the only smell I detect smells a bit like metal and grease, but no smell of dust going back into the air. I hope this helps

Thank you! I have since repaired my old Dyson DC21 canister. I tried the new Dyson canister and it only has an air driven (not electric powered)rug brush. Useless for pet hair. I also tried the DC 65 upright. Nothing worked as well as the original. Although Dyson assured me air driven was more powerful, it was a joke.

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?

It does. If you get close enough to it you can smell it. But otherwise it's odorless and noiseless.

No, and I do have to say that after using this for 8 months, the hose disconnected and had to be reattached, and the motor is starting to overheat and randomly turn off. We are tough on our vacuum with two huskies, but I would expect a solid year out of a $100 vacuum before issues start. I regularly clean it, as well.

No. Just believe dyson products are great quality. Ours came out before the ball vacuum

It actualiy doesn't But the way the Liter made machine closes, It really doesn't allow much Odor to escape. As long as you replacing the Liter bags once a week If you have 1 cat or Sooner Like 2 times a week for more than 2 cats. You will be okay.. I have 3 But we replace the Bags 2 times a week,

No, but don't let that worry you. This is by far the best vac. I've had. I have wooden floors and rugs, and a very hariry dog. Picks everything up. The lady that cleans for me, loves this vac.

Mine does not have any smell at all. I'm very sensitive to smells so I would have sent it back. I works great for my dogs though. I've had it a while now and still love it.
