Hi, My Dyson Animal Pro suddenly stopped working last week. Thankfully, it was still under warranty, and Costco gave me a full refund ($390)—yet another reason I love shopping at Costco!
I’m now looking for a replacement vacuum. I could just pick up the newer Dyson Animal Upright currently available at Costco, but I wanted to check with this community first. Are there other models sold at Costco (in-store or online) that you’d recommend over the Dyson? I’m even open to spending a bit more if it’s worth the upgrade.
We live in an apartment with mostly carpet and some wood flooring in the kitchen and bathroom. The Dyson made our carpet noticeably fluffier after each use, which my family really liked. That said, it was my first vacuum, so I don’t have much basis for comparison. Would love to hear your experiences or suggestions!
Thanks!
In need of a new vacuum and spotted these on sale. Does anyone have any of these and recommend?

Both of these vacuums are on a discount at Costco. We have 4 cats but it is a big house. We have mostly carpet upstairs and hardwood and tile (with a couple area rugs) downstairs. The price is not important because I will be using a rebate cheque to buy it.
I am undecided but leaning tward the V12. I read that is has an on switch that does not need to be continuously pressed, but the collection bin the the V8 is bigger.
Does anyone have any recommendations or thoughts on these two vacuums?
I plan on pulling the cord and getting my first Dyson vacuum this sale. I’ve narrowed it down to the v15 and v12 sold by Costco (so I have access to the flexible return policy if all goes awry), but the biggest factor holding me back from the v15 is the weight difference.
My understanding is v15 is more powerful, slightly better battery life and bin capacity, and comes with more attachments. However, v15 is around 15lbs and the v12 is around 5lbs.
In Canada, v15 is on sale for $780 and v12 for $675 so not a huge difference.
I live in a ranch-style house with a carpet upstairs, carpet stairs, and hard floors for the foyer and downstairs (with a rug here and there) so it’s pretty 50/50. I will also be using a central vacuum, and emptying the bin more isn’t a huge deal to me.
Which did you pick and why? Did the weight of the v15 keep you back? Is one more reliable than the other? Is it even worth going for the v15?
Please forgive my ignorance in vacuum cleaners of 2025!!
Saw this on sale for $279 and decided to grab one. Haven't even opened the box. Since the 2000s I always thought Dyson was a stellar vacuum but apparently thats not the case anymore.
After reading some posts on this sub it seems like I may have made a mistake. I only have a small rug where the kids play and the rest of the apt is tile. Its a bit bigger than what I need but thought it was a good purchase that could grow with us and our living environments. Apparently Dyson has now become a cheaply made brand which blows mine as its $280-500 depending on when and where you buy. I loved the no bags and easy emptying aspect of Dyson's vacuums. But thats a pretty common thing amongst current vacuums it seems.
So did I make a mistake? Should I return it and get a sub $200 vacuum thats smaller and/or more reliable? And if so any recommendations? I don't mind spending the $300 on a great product....but thats what I would want for that kind of money!
Any and all help or advice is needed and very much appreciated!
Pretty much what the title says. Ive been seing this price for the last 3 years while still hanging on to my DC14 from 2016 ( maybe older) but never bit the bullet. Is this price worth in 2025? I do really need a vaccum ASAP and I would like a cordless one this time
I bought the dyson ball animal pro about 3 years ago and the brush motor just gave up. I checked for costco's reciept history, but it only goes back 2 years. Dyson is refusing to proceed without the reciept. I was able to find a credit card statement, but they rejected that.
What can I do?
Better deal than the Black Friday deal
