What is the major differences between the Dyson 65 and the Animal Dyson?

The models are basically the same. The only difference is you get more "extension" tools with the animal.

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?

Hi Susie - I had the same question prior to buying my Dyson, so I asked them/Dyson directly. Aside from the color differences, all 3 models are the exact same, the difference is in the included tools. All the machines are the same weight, have the same maximum reach, and provide the same amount of suction, all 3 machines will come standard with the brush/crevice tool and the stair tool as onboard equipment. The difference is the Animal version also comes with the soft dusting brush and the Tangle Free Turbine tool. But I think that's it. Hope that helps. Jane

Extension tools with the Animal. Any Dyson is "dynamite" when it comes to cleaning a rug or carpet, especially thick wool Turkish, Iranian, Chinese or Indian rugs.

I recently shopped for a vacuum and before I purchased, called Panasonic. The manufacturers rep did a comparison of the two, and found no differences, other than the fact that the purple vacuum is this years Model, while the green vacuum is actually last years. I went for the savings and bought the green model. We love it. It's quiet and has great suction. Works great on carpet and tile floors!

The DC17 is an older model which Dyson no longer sells direct but is still available online and in some stores. The DC28 replaced it and is the newest non-ball animal model. The biggest difference between them is weight and suction: the DC17 weighs 33 pounds versus 20.61 pounds for the DC28, and 24 pounds for the ball DC25. The DC28 has more suction: 245 air watts versus 220 air watts for both the DC17 and the DC25. I don't have either model: I have the older DC14 Dyson Animal which, after 6 years, still has amazing suction (it has the 5/8 gallon bin). In comparing the DC25 Animal ball to the DC28 Animal, the big difference (beyond the ball technology which gives the DC25 more maneuverability) is the size of the gallon bin: DC25 has 1/3 gallon bin versus the DC28's larger 5/8 gallon bin, so you will be emptying the DC25 more frequently, which could be a pain if you have long haired cats or dogs which shed frequently; so that's the trade-off, also there is a price difference although Amazon has good discounts on both models. My DC14 does clog but it can be easily cleaned by taking the canister off completely (it comes off with the push of a button), and wiping it down with a damp paper towel or sponge. If you can't get all the small holes unclogged doing that, you can use the end of a paper clip or tiny screwdriver to stick in the holes and push out any remaining debris. It is a bit annoying to have to do only because Dyson advertises that you never need to do this. I also rinse out the bin from time to time (they provide instructions for doing this). Hope this helps in making a decision which model to buy.

I'm not sure if this is the largest, but it's a great vacuum. It is so easy to use. We had an older dyson that finallybroke. This one us so easy to push it's actually fun to vacuum. It does pick up pet hair easily along with dirt etc.I woul recommend the dyson dc65 animal complete. It is expensive, but if you have pets it's worth it.

I'm sorry that i can't offer you a comparison. I like how this bissell cleans, i like all the add-on tools, and the heavy duty sturdiness. It's heavy, practically needs its own garage, and is bulky. We think it's worth the effort. Other reviewers who like it helped me select this model, and we don't regret the purchase especially at the reasonable price. Good luck to you!

I have a DC07 in repair right now. I was told by the repair person that the newly manufactured Dyson's have a 5 year because they have inproved some of the wear/tear parts in them. He said the new ones are gear driven where as the older model have cluthes and belts.

I have both. I have carpal tunnel in my right arm. The self propelled does help you use the vacuum better. The girl that helps me clean though, prefers the dyson hands down. I since have purchased the DC40, because of the light weight, she doesn't like that one as much as the old one, which I gave to my daughter. My daughter and the house cleaner both prefer this model to the new ones. Since my purchase of the DC40 the motor has gone out in it 6 months after purchase. I have 4 cats and live in the country. Lots of dust and fur and this DC14 has probably been my best vacuum compared to all these hoover windtunnels, and kirbys. It may be more bulky, but boy does it work good. I miss it and am trying to reposses from my daughter now, lol! But it handled pet hair well. I usually washed filter out once a month. I took to dyson service and had cleaned once a yr. I've had mine 10+ years.

The regular has two, but the animal has three. And yes, if you go to Dyson's shop (by clicking the dealer's name below the product title) you will see a bunch of other tools you can buy. The additional tool that comes with the animal is a mini turbine, which is used to pick up per hair.

I don't know if there would be a difference because I returned my I robot because it did not clean well enough. I have two dogs and a sandy yard so Im not sure anything could do the job tho. Rob

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.

I posted a similar question under the animal product review. Reply post indicates that the animal isn't worth the extra $50 over the DC25.

I bought both of my Dyson's when the price was less than $350 - I bought two. I bought them seperately becuase after I bought the first one I decided that I would rather have one for upstairs and one for downstairs. I found that the attachments that came with them work well for me. I may buy the attachment for pet hair eventually but for now I do not need it. I have two cats. I absolutely love my Dysons. They work well on all carpets and the floors in my home. I have tried SO many vaccums and this is the absolute best. It is worth the money but I did wait until the prices were good - around Christmas was the best I have noticed. I am going to buy one for my daughter this Christmas.

The biggest difference I can see is that the Deluxe does not have a vacuum feature. That's a downside for me, but you may not be looking for an all-in-one machine.

Apparently not, but we can't be sure as this listing is incomplete. What is confusing people is that on the Dyson website there are two DC41 models listed - the DC41 Animal and the DC41 Animal Complete. The Animal includes the Mini Turbine Head for cleaning pet hair from upholstery and the Animal Complete includes 4 other "pet cleaning attachments". If you look at the colors, this one is a refurbished DC41 Animal, not the Complete, however, nowhere on the listing does it state that it includes the Mini Turbine Head which would make it just a DC41, which Dyson does not market or sell. So, until Amazon/Woot clearly let us know what attachments are OR are not included, we have to assume that it is a DC41 Animal that is missing the very important Mini Turbine Head.

The motor head is worse the brush bar barely touches the floor. I have had both the dc59 animal and the dc59 Motörhead and I like the animal much better. Dyson claims the motorhead works better due to its stand alone powered brush bar but I beg to differ. I think they failed with the brush bar itself and didn't put it low enough. Get the animal, it's a cheaper better vacuum.

A duplicate question, but here is the answer given to the first inquiry - Apparently not, but we can't be sure as this listing is incomplete. What is confusing people is that on the Dyson website there are two DC41 models currently listed - the DC41 Animal and the DC41 Animal Complete (the DC41 Multi Floor models are no longer listed). BOTH versions of the Animal include the Mini Turbine Head for cleaning pet hair from upholstery and the Animal Complete includes 4 other "pet cleaning attachments". If you look at the colors, this one is a refurbished DC41 Animal, not the Complete or the Multi Floor, however, nowhere on the listing does it state that it is an Animal or that it includes the Mini Turbine Head which would make it just a DC41, which Dyson does not market or sell. So, until Amazon/Woot clearly let us know what attachments are OR are not included, we have to assume that it is a DC41 Animal that is missing the very important Mini Turbine Head.
