The Dyson DC17 Animal is an all floors upright vacuum cleaners with the super powerful Advanced Dyson Level 3 Root Cyclone technology that is especially useful if you find that your pets are leaving fur all over your house.
As has become the norm in these upright vacuums, the DC17 Animal has the quick draw telescopic reach “wand” with mini-turbine head and a low-reach floor tool (to make it easier to clean under your furniture without having to move the furniture itself). The mini-turbine is excellent at stripping away the dirt and pet hairs on your sofa, curtains, stairs, your car, confined spaces, in fact just about anywhere. This head attaches easily to the hose or wand.
The dust bin is a generous 5/8 gallon, and the DC17 Animal comes with lifetime washable HEPA filters which means that even the smallest particles are sucked away by your vacuum cleaner.

- the Flexi-Crevice tool, which is a brush attachment for tight spaces.
