This unit is quite small -- the brush head is just 3.5" wide. So, if you're planning to vacuum the animal hair from your couch, you'll have to move quickly to finish before the battery dies! And it takes 3.5 hours to recharge!
Wouldn't be so bad if the unit came with two batteries and a charger. But, at the moment, you can't even buy a spare battery at [..]!
I have a Dyson canister unit that I like a lot, but I cannot recommend this DC-31 "animal" until Dyson ships it with two batteries. 6-10 minutes of cleaning is basically useless and, for the price, insulting.
 Awesome. Got me kudos too. February 11, 2010

Bought the Dyson as a birthday present for a good friend. She loves it. Cleans up what three cats can track into, or through, the house. Easy to use, attachment options are brilliant, and simple to clean.
Like to clean. So far so good....... December 12, 2009

This product looks rather serious. More like an animal that a vacuum. I like to clean. I like to clean quickly. The robot vacuum was too like a pet. On the other hand, I like to pick up dog hair as it leaves the dog. I was the queen of small vacuums. I have bought the other refill filters and or bags in multiples. My cavaliers have dog hair that becomes rabbits, not bunnies, in all the corners and in the humidity seems to grows mildew, or perhaps merely remembers the smell of dog. This product seems to hold its own in the battle over fur. Pricey, but if you like cleani, it seems to work. I have a Dyson vacuum and the tools are the same. It was a natural extention for me.
So glad I invested in this hand vac November 19, 2009

This unit is quiet, powerful, and sucks up my German "Shedders" hair in a jiffy. I have three sets of carpeted stairs in my house, and it's so wonderful to whip this light-weight machine out and take care of all three sets of stairs in mere minutes. No power cords, no maneuvering a heavy machine - it's quick and efficient. I was concerned about the battery cutting out after 6/10 minutes, but so far it hasn't been an issue. If anything, it makes me more efficient! No dilly-dallying allowed, I get right to what needs to be vacuumed and find I'm finished long before the battery discharges. This Dyson is expensive, but if you have a pet who sheds like crazy - you'll be very happy to have invested in this machine. Can't wait to try it out in my vehicle.

Alright first, it is pricey, but what really matters is how well does it work? Like other Dysons this is great for people with allergies. It works great, the motorized brush makes a big difference and it will pick up a lot of dirt, hair, etc. Battery life is better than the previous model (DC 16), it would be around the 10/6 minutes claimed. Also an improvement over the previous model, the battery can be disconnected and charged separately. It does not have a wall mount, this isn't a big deal to me, but just be aware if you care. You'll have to decide for yourself if it is worth the cost, but the performance is great, and I have not had any reliability issues with any previous Dyson products.
