    It sucks! Literally!

    The vacuum works great on hard floors and rugs and carpet with very short threads. But we have carpet with medium length threads and it sucked itself to the floor so hard that you couldn’t push it. The height of the vacuum head cannot be adjusted. We called Dyson and they advised us not to use it on the carpet, because it could tear the threads out of the carpet. So we returned it. My wife was sad. This was our second animal unit. We have the original which still works, but needs some maintenance.

      Hi there, this is Kelly with Dyson. Thank you for taking the time to write your review of the Dyson Ball Animal 2. The Dyson Ball Animal 2 features ball technology, which allows for easy navigation with the turn of a wrist. The vacuum's key components have been engineered to fit inside the ball itself, giving it its sleek, streamlined profile. Dyson Ball Animal 2 features 270 air watts of suction power, making it one of our most powerful vacuums. The self-adjusting cleanerhead also raises and lowers to seal in suction across all floors.

      I understand that you have initiated the return for your unit, however we would value the opportunity to learn more about your experience. Please feel free to reach out to [email protected]. We look forward to your correspondence.

      Best wishes,
      Kelly

    The agitation makes for superb suction. The plastic however for the handle is cheap and broke off within using it for 2 weeks. Thankfully I bought the warranty protection plan.

    Excellent Vacuum With Amazing Cleaning Power!

    An excellent vacuum with amazing cleaning power! The performance of this vacuum is very impressive to say the least. The suction power and its ability to pick up debris is the best we have ever seen in any vacuum we have ever used. The vacuum came packaged very nicely. Assembly was a little tricky at first. The instructions are pictures only but once we figured things out it was not that bad. Not all of the accessory tools can be attached to the vacuum. The small rotary brush tool needs to be stored somewhere else and cannot be attached to the vacuum for quick and easy access. The vacuum has a nice long cord. It does not retract and it has to be wound around the supplied hooks on the back of the vacuum. Locking the vacuum in its upright position is easy for storage but one thing we noticed that pushing the vacuum around on larger pile carpet would cause the vacuum to release and not stay locked into position. Not that big of a deal but just an annoyance when moving the vacuum around. Vacuuming is easy and maneuverability is nice. It takes a few minutes to get used to the weight of the lower part of the vacuum when maneuvering around but once you do it is easy. The ball rotates easily with the turn of your wrist from the handle and working the vacuum around obstacles was easy. We like that it vacuums all of the way to the edge. Using the accessory hose is a little tricky and my wife found it a little difficult to use to vacuum the stairs. The wand part tucks away inside of the collapsible hose section and she found it a little cumbersome to use. The accessory hose provides excellent suction power and cleans nicely though. Cleanup is easy. The waste container easily pops off with the touch of a button. You then push the button to release the lower part of the waste container and the debris drops right out. Because the vacuum is so good, it picks up a lot of dust and you need to knock the container on the side of your trash can to get the remaining amount out of the container. This can cause a little bit of a dust cloud. Overall, we love this vacuum and its cleaning power. We have three dogs and its ability to pick up hair and debris is amazing. Dyson seems to have an excellent customer support and the vacuum comes with a 5-year warranty which is awesome. It seems to be well worth the premium price. We highly recommend it if you have multiple animals in your house or allergies.
