Ok, ok, I do realize that this title sounds a little dramatic, but its kinda true. When J and I got married, we got a great Dyson. It worked great, but then literally about 3 months later, they came out with the ball ones. And guess what? I desperately wanted a ball one. Hate when that happens! We have had our older model for 3 1/2 years now, and finally I convinced J that we could get a new one.
Our friend Kristin {with the adorable miracle baby Landon} had the Animal, and said it was no joke. You see, we have these two adorable faces making our house a hair pit daily:
I use the Furminator brush {especially on Honey-the puggle} and they still manage to have their having covering every inch of our house..especially our couch. Kristin has a beautiful, large, serious shedding dog, and said that the Animal was amazing for it. So we bit the bullet and got it.

I am so obsessed! It cleans better than anything I have ever seen. For people that have stairs too, it has a special attachment for that. It gets the dogs hair out of our couch in a breeze. Having it be the ball one makes moving it around so so so much easier. Seriously, there are just no words for how much I love it. We got super lucky too and went to Bed Bath and Beyond on a day that they were having a Dyson sale, and got $115 off of it. Then I used my handy dandy 20% off coupon, and I had store credit AND a gift card. Now thats what I call a deal:)
<3,
I hate vacuuming and have two little furballs myself…I believe that it saved your life, haha. I’m going to keep my eyes open for a sale! xoxo
my vacuum just happened to die from vacuuming too much pet hair. thanks for this post!!
I hate to vacuum!!! How does it do on hardwood floors?
I have a weird love of vacuuming and want one of these so bad! However ill have to wait till mine mysteriously dies 😉
We got ours the first year we were married from Woot.com. I’m pretty sure it saved our marriage =) Even my husband likes to vacuum with it because it’s so easy to use…
I have the same vacuum and it seriously changed my life too! Man, Dyson was the best investment I have made thus far!
Gosh, I am so glad you love it as much as I do!!! This little vacuum makes my heart sing (its the little things in life) 🙂
Chelsea- do! because it is amazing and so worth it!
Rach- PERFECT timing:):)
Ashley- it does great. I just use it on the hardfloor setting and it picks up everything!
Ashley- mysteries happen all the time;)
Christen- Ok this vacuum is amazing, but nothing is amazing enough for J to want to vacuum. Whats your trick?!
Megan- I totally agree! And ive heard they have a great warranty too!
Kristin-I am so glad you told me about it. Not that it makes me want to clean my floors more than normal, but it atleast makes the process a whole lot easier! Love u!
<3,
Adri
I just convinced my husband to get a dyson too. I picked it up on black friday only to add a golden retriever puppy to our family the day after Christmas. I would love the one with the ball that is made for animals (is it called animal…hmmm…probably!) cuz honey, my dog can shed more than your dog (think I need that on a bumper sticker!).
Happy vacuuming.

I also have a golden retriever that sheds like crazy! The furminator has helped a lot, but I think you may have just changed my life! 🙂 Now to convince my husband that we really NEED this… 😉
Thanks for the great rec!
We have a beagle terrier mix. I had no idea how much a new vac would change our lives! I SO wish we could have gone with the Dyson Ball…next time 🙂 http://cbsmallhome.blogspot.com/2011/07/our-vacuum-didnt-suck.html
We have the Dyson DC25- It’s about the same as the Animal. We love ours 🙂
ha ha, i thought i was the only nutter in LOVE love with my vaccum cleaner (yes the same one, just smaller) and my dish washer too!
I have the Dyson DC35 Cordless and I completely understand how it changed your life. I have one furry baby and two little boys/disasters, so I break out the vacuum several times a day (btw, I HATE cleaning). Once our big vacuum dies we will definitely be getting another Dyson. I never knew I could have a love affair with a cleaning appliance….
