Product Manuals

Q: I see that Krystal from Dyson states that the only difference in model/price is the attachments. May I have more information, please? What attachments does this model have and which attachments does the big ball animal model have? Thanks!

A: Hi there, this is Krystal with Dyson. The Dyson Big Ball Bagless Canister comes with a combination tool and stair tool. Both of these can be stored directly on the machine. The Animal series comes with the same tools along with a tangle-free turbine tool which is great for pet hair. Best Wishes, Krystal Dyson Customer Service

Q: I just purchased this vacuum. I hoping its a great purchase. Should I purchase these 2 attachable items tangle free turbine and the articulating-hardwood tool? Can I use these items with this canister vacuum? Thanks.

A: Hi there, this is Kelly with Dyson. You can use both the tangle-free turbine tool, and the articulating hard floor tool on the Dyson Big Ball canister vacuum. Best wishes, Kelly Dyson Customer Support

Q: Compared to most canister vacuums, how would you rate this model on a scale from 1 to 10 where 1 is VERY QUIET and 10 is VERY LOUD? I recently returned a loser that had an ear piercing noise of 10!!

A: Hi there, this is Kelly with Dyson. The noise level on the Dyson Big Ball Canister is 85 dBa. Compared to our uprights, it's going to be a touch quieter. Best wishes, Kelly Dyson Customer Support

Q: If this model is powered by suction are there any dyson canister vacuums that are motorized. I am asking because I currently own a dyson canister vacuum that I purchased 5 years ago that is not very good at picking up anything on rugs.

A: Hi there, this is Krystal with Dyson. All Dyson Canister vacuums have a turbine head which is powered by suction. Dyson uprights are powered by a motor. Best Wishes, Krystal Dyson Customer Service

Q: Can anyone tell me how hard or easy it is to clean the carpet/floor brush? Does hair get caught up in the roller? My old Dyson canister vac, D11 roller brush had to have the hair pulled out of it. Thank you!

A: Hello Dengirl3, This is Miella from Dyson. Routine maintenance, including removing excess hair from the brushbar, is required, but is very simple and outlined in the user manual. Hope this helps! Miella Dyson Customer Support

Q: Does it have a HEPA filter?

A: Hi Karen, this is Kelly with Dyson. The Big Ball Canister does have a HEPA filter, which traps particles, so your living space can remain mostly free of allergens. Best wishes, Kelly Dyson Customer Support

Q: Does this come with the turbine head?

A: Hi there, this is Kelly with Dyson. The Big Ball Canister vacuum does come with the turbine head. Best wishes, Kelly Dyson Customer Support

Q: Does the attachment that sucks hair off dog and goes directly into vacuum work in this vacuum?

A: Hello Grams, this is Kelly with Dyson. Yes, you can use the Groom tool with the Big Ball canister vacuum. Best wishes, Kelly Dyson Customer Support

Does a great job
We first got an Upright Dyson Ball multi floor 2. It is a great vacuum with an excellent suction but unfortunately due to the ball is hard to reach under the furniture what makes your cleaning a little complicated. A couple days after we got it we found about this Big ball bagless canister and even though the suction is not as good as the upright vacuum, it does a great job. It is not heavy and you can reach every space in your home. It is really easy to use and clean. We had our doubts at first so we went to test 5 different canister vacuum that are rated as the top 5 and we compared them side by side with ours and the Big Ball was the only one that could clean and suck all the different samples of dirt we brought with us like dust, cat litter, hair, coffe grounds and more stuff without spreading them around unlike the other vacuums. I would definitely recommend it.

Impressive!
I wanted a canister vacuum because I have all hard wood and tile on one floor and carpeting on the 2nd with a dog and cat. I didn’t want to be racing against battery life either… Those cordless vacuums are probably ok if you want a second quick use vacuum, but at these prices, I doubt it’s practical for most to afford. I’m really not sure why some people have given this vacuum negative reviews because this is a great vacuum, my first Dyson, and hoping it will live up to the quality reputation up for several years… What you need to know before buying: -It does take a bit of effort to use on some carpets, but you will be impressed by what is picked up (and it’s satisfying to see all the dirt swirling around in the collection bin. The tube extends long enough that you’ll never feel like your straining your back or anything. -The brush roller head it comes with works great on carpet and floors. There’s a floor brush head you can buy and it’s nice if you’re ok spending $50 but you won’t miss it. -Mine came with an adapter for older Dyson attachments which is a plus! -Spend the $50 and get the tangle free turbine attachment. It’s amazing for getting pet hair off upholstery. If you’re only going to get one attachment, you won’t be disappointed! -Very quiet when using the brush roller head. -Don’t buy knock off attachments, the Dyson ones are high quality. -Very 21st century looking and cool to look at. -The power cord retracts all the way without stopping and it’s quick. Some critiques but not a deal breaker: -The hose, handle, and tube basically just fall on the floor so you may want to put a hook up in a closet or wherever you store it or it’s just going to fall around the floor. -For the big ball wheels, it takes a a little effort to tug it along. No big deal but its something to consider. -Don’t empty the collection bin in the house or just be prepared that debris will hit the barrel and the dust will plume up. May be good to empty it outside in the trash can or in a garage or basement. -The trap door on the collection bin is only held in place by a small plastic clip when closed… I do have a concern about it breaking so use some TLC closing the bin after emptying. Bottom line: Get this vacuum if you want to get away from traditional upright vacuums and are looking for something small with a lot of power and not looking to rush your cleaning before a battery dies. This is also great for large hard floor areas… The attachments are expensive but they are well made and good quality. The cost seems in line with other quality vacuums in the $4-500.

Pretty good
This product is pretty good. It has decent suction, the floor piece can rotate and get in hard to get places with ease. You can adjust the hose length which is nice when there is a height differential between users. The vacuum is light weight and portable, which makes it easier for kids to be able to carry to clean up messes. I wish it was a little better on carpets. It’s better designed for hardwood floors and low pile carpet. It isn’t going to work as great on high pile & shag carpets. Also, the cord is a bit short. Although, the retractable cord option is nice.
