The Dyson Animal 2 Performance

The Dyson Animal 2 does an excellent job when it comes to carpet cleaning. It can capture particles on the surface and those lodged in the carpet. Particularly rice, oats, and other cereals. All you need to do is change the suction power to suit the type of carpet at hand.

As expected, it does a stellar job when it comes to capturing pet hair. Be it on the floor, carpet, or couch, this vacuum cleaner got you sorted. And if you need a vacuum that can capture allergens and bacteria, this is the perfect pick for you. Why? Because it has an integrated HEPA filter.

As for hardwood floors, the Dyson Animal 2 shows solid performance. It especially does a stellar job capturing hair, dust, and cereals. However, it performs poorly when it comes to capturing flour leaving residues even after numerous passes. And for you to use it on such floors, you need to turn off the rotating brush.

How to use this pet hair vacuum cleaner

The Dyson Animal 2 was intended with ease of use in mind. This is because it allows you to switch the cleaning mode with the click of a button. For example, if you want to clean hard floors, all you have to do is turn off the rotating brush.

This high quality pet vacuum offers great handling whether you are using it on stairs or flat surfaces. However, it can be daunting to push and pull around given its sheer weight.
