DC15 Animal vs DC17 Animal: Which one is more powerful?

You know, it is not the simplest answer. The DC17 has more flexibility and power (easier to turn, etc). Not sure if it has more attachments. My DC 14 came with the same attachments my Mom's DC15 came with.

The motor head is worse the brush bar barely touches the floor. I have had both the dc59 animal and the dc59 Motrhead 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.

I don't have a DC39, but I do have a DC26 Animal. The part mentioned fits that model just fine (I just tested it). It also works with my Dyson portables.

I have a DC 25 and this hose did not fit - too small. I'd suggest you go to a Dyson website and figure out what stock number fits your Animal before you buy this.

I have both the 17-85 and the 15-85. The 15-85 is vastly superior. The 17-85 is a dust magnate.

I have a 15 pound Pappy and he has been know to destroy everything. Except this Chuckit! I would suggest getting the larger one though and only using as a supervised exercise event.

It worked greatt on my DC 14, but it's about 7 years old and before they came out with the animal model. I'd call dyson directly and ask them.

I can't clarify your question "which is stronger and has a longer life", unfortunately I don't own the other and have no way to answer your question. I can only say that I am very happy with this product, both my dogs wear one 24/7 and after almost one year the tags are totally fine. I am so happy with this Dynotag that I have also bought it as gifts and have spread the word about it with friend and coworkers.

With low voltage DC, bigger is alway better! For a bilge pump at 15' I would go with 16 gauge or lower.

We have 3 dogs. Own a Dyson Animal and just bought the DC56. The DC56 will not serve as your primary vacuum cleaner if you have a lot of fur to deal with. It's great for getting underneath tables and chairs and into tight spaces where our Dyson Animal will not go. So we use both. The Animal comes out first and then we vacuum and mop the hardwoods second.

I think the 41 is a bigger machine physically than the 50. I don't know if there is a difference in suction though. I can tell you that my dc41 has a lot more suction than my previous old dc7 and I think it does a great job.

I received the DC25 today and am sending it back. There is a difference in the cleaning between the DC 17 and DC25. The company rep told me there are shorter and softer bristles on the DC 25 brush bar. Both have 220 air watts. I have frieze carpeting and it was not as fluffed up as when I used the DC17. I had used my nephew's DC 17 first and was very impressed with the feel of my carpeting afterward. The longer and stiffer bristles on the DC 17 made a noticable difference in the feel of the carpeting for me. I have 2 Lhasa Apsos so there's lots of brushing and grooming. I will buy the DC 17 Animal now. I received the DC25 today and am sending it back. There is a difference in the cleaning between the DC 17 and DC25.

I have seen both sizes of the fr15 in person and there isn't a tremendous difference in size. Definitely noticeably bigger, but not hugely larger. http://www.dcrainmaker.com/images/2014/06/IMG_3498.jpg

S6D016 is the one I have very heavy and I am very happy with it. Not sure what the difference is between it and the 15 other than the price. Hope this helps

Yes. I own the DC44 and I've used it on numerous occasions. I hope this helps.

Mine neither. Perhaps that only comes with the DC41 ANIMAL COMPLETE. We have the regular DC41 ANIMAL.

Thank you for the info on DC 14 and 15. I looked up the HSN.com they sellDyson on their TV program. They listed DC14 at 18.5lb, and DC15 at 28lb.Your post says DC15 is one pound heavier. Which is it?
