    We had just vacuumed with our old canister vacuum and went over it again with this. I could not believe how much extra dog hair and dust came out!

    Read so many good things about this vacuum and had a much older Dyson Animal so I jumped on getting this when needing another vacuum. I should have dug deeper as this vacuum has serious issues. The design makes it so it gets stuck to rugs and some floors. Since there is no real space in the front to allow air flow in like other vacuums have it just gets stuck. If you search for Dyson Animal Hard To Push you will find lots of other people having this issue. It also make sit so the vacuum just pushes things around on the floor, there is not even enough clearance around the bottom to pick up cereal or other things you would normally just vacuum up.

      Hello, this is Kelly with Dyson. I'm sorry to hear that you have found the Dyson Ball Animal 2 upright vacuum cleaner hard to push. The Dyson Ball Animal 2 features Dyson ball technology, which allows for easy navigation with the turn of a wrist. The cleaner head on this machine is self-adjusting, meaning that it raises and lowers to seal in suction across all floors. Ultimately, the machine being hard to push will likely be the result of suction forming an air tight seal between the cleaner head and the floor.
       
      While we don't expect issues to occur, Dyson does back your new machine from an authorized retailer with a free 5-year guarantee. We would value the opportunity to assist you, to help ensure your Dyson is working properly. Please feel free to contact us directly at askdysonUS@dyson.com. We are keen on providing you with support and learning more about your experience.
       
      Best wishes,
      Kelly

    This vacuum is powerful and does very well on carpets; however, if you have hardwood floors (or similar), you should 100% not buy this model. It doesn’t actually suck things up unless it’s perfectly flat, and even then struggles to clean up messes. I usually have to manually sweep a pile of dirt up and run over it several times before the pile disappears.

      Hello zss215,

      Thank you for your review. This is Miella from Dyson. We're happy to hear you've enjoyed the Dyson Ball Animal 2 upright machine on your carpet. The Ball Animal 2 upright has the strongest suction of any upright machine, and the direct-drive brushbar is designed to delve deep into carpet fibers for ground-in dirt.

      At the same, we're sorry to hear of your frustrations on hard flooring! The machine's direct-drive cleanerhead is designed to automatically adjust the height between carpet and hard flooring, but you can turn the brushbar off manually for hard flooring or particularly thicker rugs in the home.

      We'd value the opportunity to learn more about your experience with your Dyson as we'd like to help ensure you are having a 5-star experience. Please feel free to reach out to us at askdysonUS@dyson.com, and we will be in touch.

      Best Wishes,
      Miella

    First time I vacuumed I was amazed at the amount of debree the Dyson picked up. Old vacuum is 19 yrs old, guess I should have gotten a new one a long time ago....

    Our first Dyson was horrible but we gave this a try and it turns out to be a very good vacuum. A little bulky but the no bag feature and easy turning radius make up for it.

    Can’t beat the Dyson brand. Other vacuums try to replicate the quality, but you get what you pay for in the end.

    Last dyson lasted over 5yrs. Purchased another brand trying to save a few dollars but soon realized why I bought a dyson. New dyson even better than the last.

      Hello Orlando, this is Kelly with Dyson. I'm happy to hear that you've been pleased with some of the aspects of your Dyson Ball Animal 2 upright. I can confirm that there is an included tool holder for on-board storage of two of your tools, but unfortunately the machine will not hold more than this. We would value the opportunity to learn more regarding your experience as we are committed to customer satisfaction. Please feel free to email us at [email protected]. It will be our pleasure to provide support.
