About this item
- Dyson digital motors use digital pulse technology, spinning at up to 104,000 times a minute (five times faster than a racing car engine).
- The center of gravity is located towards the grip for easy handling up top, down below and in-between. The detachable wand is made from lightweight aluminum. It extends to 66cm to clean up high, down low and into awkward gaps.
- Motorized floor tool with two types of bristles engineered for cleaning different floor surfaces. Ultra-fine anti-static carbon fiber filaments remove fine dust from hard floors. And stiff nylon bristles remove ground-in dirt from carpets.
- Holds a powerful charge - DC44 has a run time of up to 20 minutes of high constant suction or up to 8 minutes on Boost mode. Other cordless vacuums may claim longer run time, but many lose suction power during use. DC44 has constant powerful suction from the moment you start to the moment you finish.
- DC44 Animal also comes with a mini motorized tool with increased power for tough tasks. It removes pet hair and dirt from upholstery and confined spaces.

the good...
Very convenient, I do not hesitate to grab this off the wall and do a quick spot cleaning. With my previous canister vacuum, I had to go to a storage drawer and pull out the canister and the detached hose and sections of extension tubes and various heads and the long unraveled cord, check the bag and if full change it then plug it in put it together and then after a few minutes of vacuuming go through the reverse process only to find more hair I may have missed because the cord didn't reach the remote areas. So rather than shlep all the parts out, I would just leave the hair for another time. This (to me) was a pain and more often than not, I would just put it off until the drifts of hair were like icebergs floating around the house. This is the reason I gave it a 5 star rating. It works and it gets used and it's even fun to use. I have seen complaints about the trigger not locking. Since this is not intended to be a full house vacuum, I think this is more of a benefit to preserve battery power than a negative. Since it is designated as "animal" I think most will probably use it to pick up hair which tends to clump together in corners and along edges, so I just point and shoot where ever I see hair. I can easily touch up the whole house in this manner since it is not running as I walk around looking for dirt and hair to pick up.
the not so good...
The lint bin is tiny. Anyone with multiple pets will get this. Even using it frequently results in several trips to the trash to empty the hair, bit of a pain, but not a deal breaker, just saying it should be bigger. The vacuum is as everyone mentions very, very, very, very, expensive, did I say it was very, expensive? The sound the motor makes sounds exactly like my wife's hair dryer and I would guess that it moves about the same amount of air. I mean $400 for what is really just a reverse hair dryer and some attachments, it is over priced, but still beats the competition on performance. I equate this to buying a very expensive car like a BMW or Mercedes over a cheaper utilitarian car for about a quarter of the money. If you can afford it, it is nice to drive an expensive car even though it is still just a car and does the exact same thing as a Chevy or Ford without the bells and whistles. And, it's not like everyone who rates this thing doesn't complain about the price, so it should be no surprise and you have been warned. It is definatly a luxury purchase. On a personal note, I do think you are paying a lot for advertising and pretty candy colors and Dyson does do a lot of testing and R&D, so you decide if the value is there. I am just rating it on it's functionality. I must say, I do like the wall bracket for the vacuum, but it only holds the vacuum and the two smaller attachments not the carpet attachments. I am not sure why that is, but since I have since purchasing this vacuum purchased three other heads including the flexible crevice tool, the wood floor tool and the dusting tool for about a hundred more dollars, I would not expect it to hold all these, but did I say very, very expensive? I am now into this for over $500 and that doesn't include a back up battery. But at least for now, the included battery seems sufficient. So I think I have the whole kit and caboodle.
The bad...
One more thing about the bin, If you don't empty it out before it fills up and trust me you won't, the pet hair wedges itself into the upper area of the bin and does not just fall out like in the commercial. I have had to store a pair of chop sticks by the trash bucket where I empty this thing to pull out the wedged in hair.
I also feel that Dyson did not include enough heads or the right ones. For the money, it should at least include the designated wood floor attachment, especially for the animal version. Many if not most pet owners will have some wood or tile flooring and I also don't feel the included crevice tool is good for hard to get to places like the the refrigerator coils or way under cabinets where most pet hair seems to end up. That's my personal take, some may find the included heads adequate. They do work quite well on carpets and in corners or along the wall edges which do get used. We have some nice tight low pile carpet which attracts hair. The motorized head actually pulls hair up quite well on this surface especially with the power boost where needed.
So to bottom line this thing, would I buy it again, knowing what I now know after having used it for a week or so? Yes, which is why the 5 stars. I actually kind of enjoy using it and when ever I see some hair, I just grab it, point and shoot and the hair is gone. As the little lady in Poltergeist said, "this house is now clean"! That was just not the case with my old vacuum. With the one caveat, if you can afford it, buy it. If not there are some really nice battery, bag-less hand vacuums and if you don't mind bending over to get to the hair on the floor (a lot) that may be a better choice for the money.
Before I ordered this rather expensive item I checked out many of the reviews here. They were 87% positive, but I also read some of the one and two star reviews to see what some of the complaints were. Now that I've used the DC44 for three weeks I find most of the complaints were groundless. There is more than enough suction and it picks up everything from cat hair and crumbs to tracked-in dirt and spilt cat kibble. Some complained about it being heavy - I found it to be light weight and well balanced. Some complained about it being noisy - It's a vacuum for crips sake: probably half the decibels of an upright. Another minor complaint was that you have to hold in the trigger switch in order to use it - both my wife and I are in our seventies with some arthritis and had no problem in this area. I don't know how anyone could complain about run time as they tell what it will be going in (20 minutes regular - 8 minutes on maximum) - more than adequate. There were comments about the docking station looking flimsy, no reports of brakeage mind you, but just a feeling (?), it looked substantial to me I've never had a Dyson plastic part break in ten years. One point I do agree with is that the dust bin is rather small: but I don't see how they could have made it any bigger without making the whole machine cumbersome.
I was pleased with how well it worked in tight spots, my cars and my boat carpet. It works well on stairs but I still prefer my DC07 for that job. It is a cinch to remove wound up hair and thread from the beater bush and empty the dust bin. Regarding the price - it is what it is - yea you're paying for advertising, but you're also paying for great design and space-age materials. If you can't afford it don't buy it, but if you do, don't expect it to make your morning coffee or babysit your kids. It's too soon to speak about longevity but I'll return if issues arise.
UPDATE OCTOBER 2014
OK - it broke. When I attached either of the motorized brushes they would start to run before I pulled the trigger and would not stop. I tried to jiggle the trigger, removed and reinstalled the battery, checked for blockages, all to no avail. I called Dyson's customer service and their representative Coby answered my call in less than 30 seconds. After explaining the symptoms Coby decided the easiest remedy was to send out a whole new unit less the battery, filter, and dust bin. It arrived 2 days later along with a prepaid label to send the defective one back. Very impressive - the Dyson Customer Service department gets 5 stars as well. A.G.
However, as a handheld, it's amazing. I have a gray cat and never thought my couch would ever be white again- using the pet hair attachment on this thing sucked up years of hair so I could actually see the true color again! The different attachments are useful for getting into nooks and crannies, or getting wider areas. I love the ease of use- grab it off the wall and go, not worrying about cords or anything. it's small and lightweight so I can bring it anywhere and it stores neatly in the crevice between my fridge and wall. Battery stays charged for a long time, I've never had it die on me.
I really like this thing, but it's basically a glorified Dust Buster. I have to sweep my floors and then use this to vacuum up the pile I swept together. If it was less than $150, i'd recommend it to anyone. But because it's terrible as an actual vacuum- I can't even *imagine* it on carpet!- I'd say it's not worth the price tag.
