The aforementioned brush bar is housed in an innovative floor head, with runners that raise and lower depending on the surface type to ensure the brush is always at the ideal distance from the floor. You don't have a lot of storage space. The Dyson DC41 is skinny; easily fitting into most closet spaces. It doesn't take up a lot of room, so it's a great option if you live in a small apartment or house. This is a good all around vacuum, it never loses suction, its easy to remove the debris, has a hose that extends quite far, and just works well."

I did not want to permanently modify so I tried the wire tie suggestion by williams and Barry Armitage.

What real Dyson DC41 reviews say

Powered up on a carpeted floor, the DC41 Animal wasn’t too noisy in use, and was considerably quieter than some older high-power cleaners we tested before the EU’s 1600W limit was enforced. It measured 82dB at ear height above the machine, which is about the same sound level as road noise in a car travelling at 40mph. Increased power drives bristles deeper, to release more dirt. The power draw of the motorhead motor has been increased via the electronic control board, so it is able to use 20% more power. Increased power drives bristles deeper, to release more dirt. A nice feature is the automatic floor height so you don't have to stop and change settings going from carpet to hardwood. Also the brush on/off control is at the top of the handle." Well after the Cat 5 hurricane we replaced the carpets with new deep pile. And I am 6 ft tall 185# in good shape and I’ll be darned if I could get our Dyson Ball Animal 2 to move without it being a SERIOUS workout. Our house keeper just can not use it. Read all the posts there are several solutions. The picture of the lady stretching the vacuum all the way up the stairs is laughable. I think the vacuum would need to be bolted to the ground for that to happen."

Putting the DC41 Animal together from the box is straightforward (as long as you follow the diagrams!) and it’s up and running in minutes.

A small turbo-brush head is essential for pet owners, but Dyson’s Turbine tool takes this feature to the next level. Dyson DC41 Mk2 Animal – How well does it clean?

We had this problem with our DC 33 Cyclone that was 12 years old. The rubber wears down with age and so the accordion-shaped rubber expands/drops down a few millimeters overtime and suddenly you can’t vacuum rugs. Ours wouldn’t even vacuum on Ruggables which are super thin rugs!
