Powerful Vacuum Solutions (For A Dirty, Furry Home)

How about a little product woohoo today? The Dyson Animal Vacuum*.

Dyson Animal DC14 has powerful suction and is great for collecting pet hair.

I should certainly start out by including that this post is brought to you by me, but I was paid to write about it by Tesco Direct, the online store of a popular UK retailer who (from what I hear from friends across the pond) is regularly frequented for good deals, a vast array of product, and because it’s an easy to use site. Win, win, win. There are many newer models of the Dyson Animal Vacuum though, so here’s an affiliate link to Amazon where you can review lots of current vacuum models.

When they asked me to write a post for them, I agreed if and only if they let me write about one of my own products; I was the one to offer up a post on the pretty purple Dyson pet vacuum because I noticed the popular product line was featured on their site. Ours is the Dyson DC14 Animal and while it’s more outdated than the ones listed on Tesco Direct, the Dyson DC26 Multi Floor and Dyson DC33 are awesomely comparable when it comes down it. It should also be good for you to hear that Pete’s owned it for years, and it still sucks dirt like a kid chugging chocolate milk from a straw.

Powerful Against Pet Fur

I vacuum and/or sweep a lot to compete what my Bernese Mountain Dog throws my way. After 3 days of neglect, this is the typical scene on the stairs, around the corners of the room, and, oh, you can’t even imagine the carpets.

Bernese Mountain Dog fur collects everywhere, including on the stairs.

Powerful Vacuum to the Rescue

This is where the Dyson comes in oh-so-handy. The product is better than a broom for a few reasons:

1. It’s lightweight. It’s no pain to carry it up and down the stairs.
2. The power cord is long. Really long.
3. Great suction. It has that patented Root Cyclone Technology that prevents loss of suction.
4. Long hose. Like the power cord, the Dyson comes with a really long hose that easily unhooks from the handle. This is my best friend, and the real reason I’m so successful getting into nooks and crannies and up and down the stairs.
5. Bagless. It’s not poofing out all kinds of dust every time you lift it (yes, poofing is technical). Because it’s bagless, it’s designed to empty easily with just the push of a button.

It’s easy to empty the bagless Dyson DC14 Animal Vacuum.

Making Cleanup a Game

Pete and I also have competitions over who can trap more dirt in one round of vacuuming; kind of an addicting game, but you’d think my house would be cleaner.

Here’s what it looked like full after I had at my house post-traveling excursion. See it all whirled up securely in the container?
