Pretty sure that's the model we have. Absolutely no problems with it, and it's way better than my old much more expensive vacuum.

We don't have dog hair to deal with but considering what it can pick up I wouldn't worry. Emptying it is simple and pretty tidy, the canister and how it attaches is well designed.

DYsons are totally worth the money. Just clean out the crap once in a while and you can suck hair off the carpet all day long...

That's my exact vacuum, and I've been sucking up Golden Retreiver dog hair with it for over a year now.

Works great.


Pros: Easy to use, very maneuverable, great suction, easy to maintain, easy to dump.

Cons: Small canister requires a lot of dumping (though that is easy as hell), and the "wand" aspect of the vacuum is terrible outside of about 3 feet.


Forgot to mention the coolest thing about a Dyson.


When you first get it:

1. Vacuum your house with your old vacuum.

2. Go over the same area with the Dyson.

3. Wonder why you ever bought anything but a Dyson.

Wash's hair sticks to the bristles of the vacuum. I have to clean the roller every time I empty the container.


how does the Dyson compare?

I keep Biscuit cut pretty short, I've never had a problem with dog hair in the bristles. It's usually a string of some sort.


Since I bought the thing 2 and a half years ago? I've cleaned the bristles maybe 3 times.

we bought a Dyson Absolute Animal which has been one of the best investments we ever made. This thing sucks up so much more than the old vacc ever did. its amazing and disgusting at the same time.

Biscuit is a super common dog name.

Probably the only one I saw more often was Max when I did animal care work.
