Does anyone with parrots own this vacuum? How does it handle feathers, seed, wood chips, dander, dried droppings/food, the occasional small toy part?

Hi, I do not own a parrot or any other bird for that matter, but, to answer your question, this dyson model is fantastic in picking up just about "anything". I use different attachments, depending on the type of floor your cleaning. The dyson canister has no problem picking up all of the above items you mentioned and then some. I have a house cleaning business and using this vacuum has picked up MANY items including pens/pencils, scarves/socks, small toys parts, coins, etc. The suction is very powerful. Hope this answered your question!

I have a Bernese Mt Dog. This vacuum handle mountains of long fur, broken beef bones, broken bits of wood, coins, screws etc. Nothing your parrot drops could slow it down.

I don't have a parrot but have two little dogs and one cat. All three are strictly house pets so I have quiet abit of stuff tracked in plus cat hair. This vaccume does a great job not only on the floors but the furniture also.

I do not have a parrot, but I do have a Yorkie who loves to rip up paper and small things. The Dyson DC 39 handles it all very we'll.

I have multiple pets and this vacuum works great, but the other issues like weight and difficulty with the handle have giving me second thoughts about this model.

I have maple wood flooring. I have not seen any problem and I use the brush on it. The vac has the option of using the brush or not if you are concerned. I do not have pets. I do have a number of grandchildren who leave crumbs and track in debris from the yard. This is why I bought it and love it.

We live in Tampa. I use mine all the time. I have two (make that three now) cats and a bird, as well as having had three teens in the house. Mine works great for all of that, but like I said before, I don't use mine often on our two carpeted rooms. I use our Dyson for those because I have severe dust allergies and a canister vac just doesn't have the suction to get deep enough into the matresses or carpets to remove enough dust for my liking.

I like to think of it as a mess cleaner -- litter, hair, a spilled plant... but it is great for fur and dust. The filter on the inside catches hair very well and it's easy to detach the hand held vacuum to sweep up fur off furniture. I'm not sure about the warranty, but this will do the job for messes and pet hair. It really isn't meant to replace an actual vacuum cleaner, but it's pretty darn close in my house!

Air exits out the back of the motor housing below the power cord. I use it to vac feathers and seed from the bird I have, haven't had a problem with the exhaust interfering with the vacuuming. It has a short power cord (approximately 6') and approximately 6' hose, so it is mostly a two handed operation.

Q1: I can't answer about bird dander, but the suction is very good and the debris holding compartment is very secure. It's a very well built vac. Q2: It doesn't require filter replacements. You just open a compartment and shake out the debris into your trash can. There are two removable, reuseable cylindrical filters in this compartment that You can easily pull out, shake, wipe or brush anything that sticks to them, and reinsert them. It's very simple to do and you don't have to buy filters or, worse yet, get stuck with a vac that you can no longer get filters for. I've had my vac about two years and the filters still look like new.

I still use my eureka. The handle broke off right away but it mechanically still runs great and with lots of power. It's a messy ordeal emptying the dirt cup. I always do that outside. It was a cheap vacuum, so even tho its got little issues, Istill am amazed at how much dirt it pulls out of my carpet.

I have 2 Dyson Milti Floor Plus Compact vacuums for each level of my home. I have a variety of flooring including hand scraped wood, carpet and stone. The Dyson is great on each surface. I'm Amazed at how much pet hair my old vacs were not picking up! If you have pets, this Dyson is excellent! I have 4 long hair cats and a Lab plus 2 teens and husband and the Dyson cleans all their messes!

I have carpet like this and it works great. Still amazed at how much dirt it pulls up from carpet. With golden retriever hair in the house, I empty out the chamber every time its used, if not 2x so that the suction power stays strong. * There is also height adjustment option on the unit.

I have not vacuumed dog toys afterward and have had very good results. I have not vacuumed pillows and also have had very good results. I do vacuum floors and upholstery though. I also use it on my hepa filters. Works great thus far.

This little gadget picks up dust and crumbs very well. It does need to be cleaned frequently as the brushes do attract and twist threads which causes it to strain and go slower. the magnet on the inside also is powerful and holds on to pins, paper clips etc and can cause dirt to build up there as well. Key to keeping this machine working is to clean it out regularly.

It does great on both wood floor and carpet. There is adjustments for carpet heights as well. It is a great Vacuum. We have a pet with hair that gets deep into the carpets and I have been happy with its performance. Also love that I do not have to clean out the bag less containers anymore. The bags hold a lot! I have not changed my bag in the last 6 months if not longer and I vacuum daily. The only downfall is that the bag indicator does not work well, but it is easy enough to open the front and see how full your bag is.
