Customer Ratings & Reviews

This Dyson replaces an old cheap vacuum that was having issues. THE GOOD: +Strong suction picked up a lot of dust that the old vacuum left behind +Easy to maneuver with the ball and rollers +Easy to remove/reattach collection canister +Less likely to get caught up on carpet threads than others +Reasonably quiet +Plenty of attachments for versatile cleaning options THE BAD: -Assembly instructions were very limited. Some parts snap into place, others slide into place which was not well documented. -For such an expensive heavy vacuum, the lightweight plastic stick portion feels flimsy and cheap. -The upright locking mechanism doesn't feel as secure as it could. Overall, I rate it good because it works better than any other vacuum I've used however the plastics and tricky assembly are worth noting.

Awesome machine! The suction is STRONG & you can really feel it cleaning. It transitions to different flooring with ease. But, don’t use it on small area rugs- it sucks them up. This machine is a little heavy & hard to maneuver for me, but I still love it. This is my second Dyson vac that I have purchased. My first vac I purchased in 2010, the DC10 Animal, which I STILL have. Needs a little TLC, lol. I hope this new Dyson vac holds up just as well!

Firat of all, it is L O U D!!!!!! I've been a dyson fan (i also have their fans) for the last 20 years and this is my 3rd dyson. By far the best suction but also the cheapest plastic ever! I would not recommend this at full price but for 5 year warranty and maybe a 50% off sale this is a home run!

We came from a very overpriced Robo vac and we have a toddler who likes to throw food and make confetti out of paper. I was working at the time, but I sent my wife and told her to show the salesman the carpet and ask what would fix it. This is the vacuum he recommended, but it was sold out at the time. So he sold her the slightly cheaper orange version instead. It was a good vac. Then days later, this vac went on sale for half off and it was in stock. My wife told me it's the one she wanted originally, so we ordered it. This one is WAY more powerful than the orange one. Even the head is noticeably bigger. This one is very good at picking things up, but it's not perfect. You gotta plug it up, it's heavy and it's insanely loud. These are things to take into consideration, but they're valid tradeoffs. To be as powerful as it is, you have to plug it it in and it will be loud and heavy on account of the motors.

I love my Dyson. This is the only vacuum I will use or buy. The suction is top tier. It comes with other attachments as well which are very helpful for furniture or hard to reach places. Very easy to clean out and it’s not huge to the point where you need a lot of space to store. This vacuum will last you years unlike other brands I have purchased needing to purchase again within a year. My Dyson is my baby and prized cleaning tool. I am loyal to Dyson.

Pros: You're able to easily turn the brush on and off, which was a big feature we were looking for. Has a LOT of attachments. Maybe too many. Cons: It's heavy It only picks up about half of what our previous vacuum could There's nowhere to place the attachments These isn't a cord wrap. It's one thing to not have an automatic cord winder, but to not even have a section of the vacuum where you can manually wrap the cord? Wow. That's impressively bad. Our dogs that aren't typically scared vacuums are scared of this one because it makes weird noises.

Does a great job and all the attachments you could ask for. Cord more than long enough. A bit heavier than I expected but still much lighter than my last vacuum.

So far this vacuum is good. It does a pretty good job. Not a huge fan of taking the handle apart any time I want to use an attachment. But suction is solid. Also am not a fan of non of the attachments actually able to be stored on the vacuum. Well 2 small ones but 4 others I have to store in a closet. I wish it all could fit. Also when I roll it not on sometimes it just falls into place to vacuum instead of just roll. Minor complaints. But I do like the vacuum

Love that it has great suction, but I was afraid I was going to have to return it because I was exhausted after I had finished vacuuming my small condo. This is not new carpet either! I googled to see if there was a solution and found I was not the only one with this same problem. Dyson, you need to pay that guy on the video!! Problem solved by putting two rubber washers on the floating doohickey thing! Otherwise this is a good solid vacuum. It is quite heavy though. This is replacing a Dyson I had for a number of years. Little pricey and I would never pay full price! I got it on sale at Best Buy.

I bought this machine to replace my 19 year old Dyson DC14 vacuum which finally quit. I thought that this (ball) construction would be easier to maneuver than my DC14, but so far I have not been able to fully get used to it (I've had it now for a couple of months or so and use it at least once a week). It does not bend and maneuver like their stick vacuums (I also have a V11). But it sure does a great job removing cat fur, dust and dirt from our rugs and linoleum. I would recommend this to anyone who may need a good vacuum for allergy issues.

One of the best vacuums I have ever used. Light, easy to maneuver, easy to empty and great suction. Only draw-back is it a little hard to push around on really plush carpet. but it does such a great job!

I got my first dyson animal from my mom in 2013 when she moved, loved that until it finally had it. We bought another animal ball and it did so well and cleaned suoer well on both hard surfaces and carpet. You can really see hiw mich dirt gets picked up and its crazy to see what cones out. This new one is the same dyson quality im used to and doesn’t disappoint! The suction is amazing, cord is long enough for plenty of coverage. Some people say its hard to push becsuse of the powerful suction it has. My wife had no issues with it. We live the dyson when it comes to being clean.

We were looking for options to replace our older Dyson that was over ten years old and were happy to see this model was on sale for a great price. The vacuum works really well and was easy to assemble. The only drawback is the weight, but that was something we were willing to deal with since it works as well as it does.

THIS is the upright of choice if you are going to buy a Dyson. There are a few models out there. I like this because it has plenty of attachments and boy, does it suck! It really does the job! Maybe a little too well at times, it is hard to push it sometimes once that vacuum pressure is on a carpet. This is a good way to build up some muscle. Beware those with weak upper body strength, this might not work for you. The one thing I would like now is a wall mount for the extra tools.

The vaccum is very powerful so I don’t mind that it can be slightly heavy to manuever. The parts of the vaccum do feel a bit “plasticy” for the price but overall I am happy to use it.

This Dyson ball vacuum was one of the best purchases I've ever made in my life. It is quiet, it is efficient, and it has TONS of attachments, with the attachment wand and hose being built right into the handle. Folks, trust me when i say that this vacuum is worth every penny, especially if you have pets. I use this vacuum on carpet, on linoleum and on wood floors, and it works equally well in every environment. I've never seen a vacuum as powerful and flexible as this one.

The suction is spot on, the only thing I hate about this machine is that it’s difficult to move from room to room, like the front end goes down instead of being able to pop it into a wheelie position. That might not make sense until it happens to you. Also, the hose for attachments is super stiff making it difficult to run along base boards and such. Hopefully it will loosen up a bit over time. The suction is 10 stars though!

The best pet and allergy vacuum I've owned. This has great suction power with it being easy to push. It is easy to clean and just works for us. The only knock I would say is that when you use the wand to clean a fan or some are above the floor, the vacuum tends to fall over. I wish Dyson would come up with a way to keep the vacuum from falling over when using the hose. Otherwise, I think this is a great vaccum cleaner.

This is my second Dyson upright machine. I still use my original orange “ball” vacuum but wanted another for the second floor as carrying that machine was getting to be too much for me. The top three things I love about this model are the long cord, amazing suction and the additional tools. No trouble maneuvering the machine over carpet, area rugs, and vinyl flooring. There are only two minor things on this machine that could be improved. First, the piece that you wind the cord around at the top seems kinda flimsy. It could stand to be sturdier since we wrap and unwrap that cord constantly. Secondly, the release to put the handle into a vacuuming position is hard to get used to. My older Dyson, (20 years), had a foot lever to release the vacuum from its upright position. That’s the reason I took away one star. You can’t beat the performance of this machine! I highly recommend! We do not have any pets so I cannot comment on how well it works on pet hair. We are in our 70’s and found this machine easy to assemble and easy to navigate from carpet to bare floors! Try it for yourself!!!

Good suction but it is a little bit hard to push. I wish the head was a little bit narrower. It would also be good if you could adjust the height.
