Dyson - Ball Animal 2 Upright Vacuum - Iron/Purple

Took about 8 mins to piece together. Now runs like a dream. Used it on a rug that I’ve tried to vacuum several times with another hoover, and in one go with the Dyson I could hear dirt and debris that hasn’t been picked up previously rattling up and into the catchment compartment. It’s super easy to use. Rolls well, and transitions from hard surface to rug effortlessly. Turns corners well too with the roller ball. The alternative suction wand thing works really well too, and it’s handy that a couple attachments for it connect directly to the main vacuum, so you don’t have them getting lost somewhere in the house. It is heavier than many vacuums, and you may find it tedious going up and down stairs. The price you pay for having clean floors. Or just buy one for each floor in your house, and problem solved! Recommended.

I already own an expensive Kirby vacuum which I hate. It's heavy, very difficult to use and shreds belts like nobody's business. I decided to purchase this particular Dyson vacuum based on my daughter's satisfaction of her own 8-year-old Dyson Animal vacuum, the compilation of other reviews here and the fact that it does not have a belt. I have 2 cats and several environmental allergies so a good vacuum is very important to me. I used my new Dyson for the first time tonight after I read the directions. The booklet's pictorial directions were not clear about how to disengage the attachment wand, but Dyson's You Tube tutorial easily solved that problem. Oh my goodness, the amount of hair and dirt this new machine picked up - easily - was simply amazing and it was actually fun to use! I'm actually looking forward to challenging it's performance again soon, and for years to come.

There's no match for this one. I can't believe what an amazing job it does and I'm talking four Huge German Shepherds and a couple of cats and it makes lightning quick work of the aftermath. Just love the pet brushing attachment that Dyson makes for this too... Never will I buy a different brand of vacuum after owning this one, and BestBuy couldn't be outdone for price and availability as usual...

After our 3rd vacuum in 5 years broke, I went to Best Buy for a Hoover they had on sale for $139. The salesman happily got the model for me, but casually mentioned the Dyson was on sale. I told him it was still too expensive, but I'd happily take a look. After learning about Dyson's 5 year warranty and Best Buy's 4 year warranty stacked on that, I decided to try the Dyson. My friends who have them have had them for close to a decade with no issue. THe first room I vacuumed at home had the canister filled with dust and dog hair (our dog is even a breed that doesn't shed much). And we had JUST vacuumed this room before our vacuum broke. It was amazing and disgusting all at them same time...see the I'm excited to see if our allergies lessen at home now that we are actually getting most out of our carpets!

The vacuum is serviceable and easy to maneuver around tight areas and in small spaces. Pros: Lightweight, visually appealing, strong suction and works on different surfaces. Cons: If you are using attachments and have the tower stationary, it’s possible it tilts over, this happens more often than I would like, some of the attachments and features feel cheaply made, ex: sometimes I feel that a piece is going to snap. Overall: Solid vacuum, does it’s job on carpet and/or smooth surfaces, but for price it seems to be a little high for value.

I had a Dyson before and I absolutely loved it !! But the new one is super, super powerful !! With 3 Dogs I really need it !!

I love dyson products. Always the best for ppl with asthma and pets. It sucked out soo much dust out of my carpet it shocked me. This saved my allergies aswell. Only flaw it feels kinda cheap cuz of the cheap plastic. Wish it was a thicker plastic that doesn’t scratch soo easily.

We recently adopted a pit lab mix who sheds A LOT. This vacuum has been a life saver. If you look at the photos, the hair in the vacuum is from one day and just from the small brown carpet area in the photo. This vacuum actually picks up everything and it even works on our shag rug! A great buy and very easy to use and to empty.
