My Dyson smells strongly of dog. Does this product absorb the odor from inside the vacuum? I'm thinking of leaving some of it in the dust container.

Have you tried cleaning the canister and filter? I've had a Dyson for years but didn't know how to disassemble and clean it until I saw it on YouTube.

I'm not sure because I don't have a dog. But I think it would. Give it a try.

The odor is absorbed once you sprinkle the powder and brush it into the carpet, then let it sit for 20 minutes. When you vacuum it up the canister will smell of the powder for the most part.

No. You do not need a Dyson vacuum for this. Any good vacuum will do. I recommend taking a brush and gently spreading the product into your carpet first. We have a scrub brush attached to a handle for this.

Ifelt like they are saying to vacuum afterwards because normally you do vacuum carpet and rugs when you use carpet fresh, etc. Maybe the vacuum helps pick up any loose dust. Although, I don't vacuum my puppy's plush toys.

Just a quick note - I have this Electrolux, hard wood floors, and a dog. I also have the Dyson "animal". I am STILL looking for a solution as neither of these do the job in spite of the expense and hype! If anyone out there has found a real solution - please share!

No, it has no strong odor. I love this product. I use it for routine dusting; I spray it on the tip of my broom bristles; it is an awesome dust magnet. I used it first when sweeping up drywall dust with a broom with wonderful results!

While it has great suction, emptying the canister is a pain and it does fill fast. I would go with a Dyson. Best vacuum I ever had! I have a Shepard and a Husky!

It helps tremendously on dust but only fair on containing smell. The confinement of the product makes it mandatory to keep the pan very clean. However, the cat and I love it because it contains the litter so well. With a mat outside the entry there is no longer any litter pellets around the floor. If a number were to be given as far as containing smell it would probably be 5 out of 10.

I've had my vacuum 1 1/2 years and I have changed it once. Some of the dust and dirt will come out if it is tapped on a hard surface. I do this each time I change the bag. We have 3 small indoor dogs. When I vacuumed the other day I noticed that dusty stale odor. Guess it's time to change it. But you should be able to see the dirt that won't shake out.

I recently washed the post filter and the samething happened. The suggestion regarding blowing out the filter with an air compressor worked perfectly. Its been a month now and the filter stays in place. I believe the washing of the filter (even when the directions are followed) caused the dust/dirt to harden over the pores so the positive pressure just blows out the filter. If you don't have a air compressor, try those computer dust cleaner or wash the filter more aggressively than what the dyson instructions suggest.

Haven't had the pleasure? yet of cleaning---when vacuuming, usually have upholstery brush attachment available to lightly dust my Dyson---it hasn't needed a really deep clean yet and I use everyday---Have a warm, not hot or humid summer y'all

I really don't know. I sucked up as much of the urine as possible with a wet vac. Next I cleaned and rinsed taking up as much water as possible. Then I soaked the area. Like magic no more odor. If you don't fully soak the area it won't be as effective. After many years of puppies and later old dogs this is the best product to eliminate odor.

I cannot say for sure, since I do not have pets, but off-hand I would say yes, it does well for air-born dust and odors.

It works like the other Dyson stick vacuums like the DC44. Stuff gets sucked up into a canister up by the handle. To empty, hold the canister over a trash can, garbage bag, etc, and push a little lever and the bottom of the canister pops open and the contents falls out. Sometimes I find you need to shake the canister or tap it on the side to get some of the pet fluff out.

i can only speak for dogs, but they too would scatter if i took out the vacuum. with the neato, my one dog thought it was a toy and went down on his front paws to play. the other dog ignored it. i used to have cats, and i don't think this will bother them as much as an upright vacuum. let them sniff it and get close before using it the first time, as they will be curious. when they get used to it, they'll go somewhere else while it's running. i hope this helps.

First, I have to apologize because I haven't opened the filter yet, however, I have a similar model that has been in use for the past 10 years (thus, the reason we bought a new one). It will pretty much eliminate any odor, including pet odor. We have a dog and there has never been any indication of a "dog odor" in our house. As for the "ozone smell", some people like it, some don't. Personally, I find the odor pleasant. The nice thing about the model in question is you have the power to control the ozone stage. Hope this helps.

Haha! No, I haven't noticed a wet dog smell...BUT, I have a dog and sometimes he smells, so I'm probably not the best candidate to answer that question. Also, I purchased the unit because we had a musty odor in our old house and I was concerned about mold. It took away the musty odor completely and I swear I slept better once I started using it in my bedroom. My only concern with the unit is that it can make this crazy shaking sound if it gets bumped or moved, and then requires some finessing to get it "back on track." It's also gigantic. Other than that, it's a fantastic air cleaner for the price. Hope any of this helps.

I got it because I have a mostly indoor dog and didn't want the house smelling like dog and it has completely gotten rid of the smell...so yes, it works very well....
