What is the difference between this vacumn and the Dyson dc65 Animal vacumn?
1620770
It's the same base model, motor, suction, etc. The Animal comes with a pet hair attachment.

It looks like the only difference is the special attachment for pet hair. We tried to compare them very closely. If you don't need that it is less costly.

I have 3 cats and a dog...the DC65 multi floor picks up pet hair fabulously!...amazing..I also use a hair remover brush thingy (lol) for blankets and furniture...$5 compared to the pet attachment..

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!

I don't know about the Dyson DC44. I do know about the Shark Rocket, and after a number of high end vacuums, (including a Dyson and a couple Electrolux), I am THRILLED with the Shark Rocket. It's lightweight so I can use it often, got a good long cord, and my carpets are the cleanest ever.

I received the DC25 today and am sending it back. There is a difference in the cleaning between the DC 17 and DC25. The company rep told me there are shorter and softer bristles on the DC 25 brush bar. Both have 220 air watts. I have frieze carpeting and it was not as fluffed up as when I used the DC17. I had used my nephew's DC 17 first and was very impressed with the feel of my carpeting afterward. The longer and stiffer bristles on the DC 17 made a noticable difference in the feel of the carpeting for me. I have 2 Lhasa Apsos so there's lots of brushing and grooming. I will buy the DC 17 Animal now. I received the DC25 today and am sending it back. There is a difference in the cleaning between the DC 17 and DC25.

I honestly would not get this unless you absolutely need a stuck vac. I just bought the DC50 Animal upright and LOVE it! The difference I believe is in the bristles in the brush. I would really suggest looking into the DC50 tho. It's a smaller, more compact upright, but just as powerful as a full size.

You know I did a lot of research before I finally purchased my Dyson and the best I've been able to determine the machine itself is the same. I've heard from others that the Animal has stiffer bristles in the motorized head but the two seemed the same to me in the store. The main difference (besides the color) appears to be what's included in the box. You get a different set of tools with the Allergy model than you do with the Animal. The Allergy comes with a soft dusting brush, matress tool and flexi crevice tool that add up to $89.97 purchased seperately. The Animal comes with a mini turbine head, low reach tool and a carpet cleaning kit with Zorb and Dysolv which add up to $145.96 purchased seperately. I think that's your difference in pricing. Hope this helps you out!

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. . .

It worked greatt on my DC 14, but it's about 7 years old and before they came out with the animal model. I'd call dyson directly and ask them.

I found the same problem, and more, and returned my Dyson. It proved useless for everything, let alone animal hair. The attachment that is supposed to be so useful for animal hair is not even motor-powered, the sweeping mechanism is weakly powered by the suction only; the vacuum is bulky, the wand is ridiculously cumbersome. It all hype and no convenience or action. I bought a Kenmore no-bag cannister model and it's great, especially for animal hair.

When I spoke to them I asked. They told me the Dyson DC17 has the most suction out of all of them. They aren't all the same. I hope this helps. You can also get a much better deal if you go to www.factorydirectsuperstore.com I have purchased quite a few items from them and they provide excellent service and pricing. They have every kind of brand you could ask for. I believe the shipping is free and no tax.

I have short nap and run it with or without the brush and no problem We also have a DC40 and it piles the rug up so you to have a foot holding down. I haven't found anything that gives the DC65 a problem. It's had to be the best vacuum we have ever had.

sorry, i don't know but if i needed to find out, i would call Dyson, they can tell you. I have noticed that their attachments often don't fit different models.

Well, I have an older DC14 which I bought back in 2004 and is still going strong so the question is whether a cheaper machine will last as long. My previous vacuum cleaners by other makers (my last was an Oreck) lost suction after about two years. Between 2001-2004 I went through 2 vacuum cleaners because they didn't work well, suction decreased, (and I had the expense of buying filter bags) before I bought my Dyson.

What's the difference between this and the DC35 "non animal" version? This one costs more but the only thing I see is a special brush???

Hi.. I purchased the DysonC65 this past summer. I wanted/needed a vacuum that performed better and outlasted my previous 2 vacuums. After lots of research thru independent review websites, I decided to purchase the DysonC65 vacuum! I bought it thru Amazon.com and it did include a 5-year warranty! I have three area rugs, none of mine are loose weave. The first time I vacuumed with the Dyson, my rugs were not only debris free, the very unexpected surprise was the carpets looked cleaner, brighter, colors more vivid. That was a very happy feeling. I stood there looking at my rugs kinda shocked. Then looked at the canister and saw how quickly it filled up! It was getting out actual deep dirt, that my previous vacuum weren't powerful enough to pick up. There is no other explanation. The rest of our home is either hardwood, or stone. We have NO carpeting at all. The Dyson is not cheap! I too had questions and wanted to know if this would be a good investment. So far, I say, YES, definitely. We have two dogs.. one with a double coat. He sheds so much. He is a dear sweet thing so either sweeping or vacuuming up after him is worth having him in our family. I hope my experience with the DysonC65 helps you decide! Jan Cappell - Royal Oak, MI

It's the same vacuum. The $59.00 has 1 extras bonus battery. You put both batteries on the charger, so you always have 1 ready in case you need extra cleaning.

I believe there are 2 main things that make it an "animal" model. First the battery lasts longer than the DC35 with boost mode on (8 min compared to 6). Second, I believe the brush has more bristles and spins faster on the 44 compared to the 35; According to the Dyson website - "The motorized floor tool has twice the power of the DC35 floor tool, to drive the bristles deeper into the carpet pile with more force. Floor tool attaches to the wand or directly to the machine for cleaning awkward spaces."

I wish I could tell you yes but I don't know what year my model is. It is a purple vacuum and it is an Animal. I wish I could be more help!
