    Picks up hair and crumbs easily and moves around furniture with ease. It is heavy, hard to manipulate up and down steps. I have to use more muscle power than I should for such a costly vacuum.

    I just vacuumed my house before I purchased my new Dyson. After coming home I vacuumed again and was amazed after one room the canister was full. Great suction.

    I haven’t had a Dyson in years but my other vacuums have broken right after warranty expires even with due diligence on cleaning of the machine and maintenance. I forgot how well these vacuums picked up dirty, debris and particularly pet hair. I gave it 4 stars because my prior Dyson did not have the ball, which is great for getting under furniture but it tends to be a pain in the but to get to stand back upright fully when utilizing the other tools. Still a great purchase.

    Not enough value for the price

    We replaced an old Animal vacuum and this one is not made as well, especially for the price. It doesn't stand in the upright position very well and taking the high reach wand off and putting it back on is awkward. A plastic piece has already broke off. The suction is very good, but you can't adjust it for high carpet so it take effort to push on high carpet.

      Hi there, this is Kelly with dyson. We're sorry to hear that in your use, you've found the quality of the Ball Animal 2 to be lacking. Dyson machines are made from polycarbonate ABS, which is same material used in riot shields and crash helmets. They are tough, so we subject them to 50,000 hours of testing and 550 individual tests – all to ensure that they can withstand a lifetime’s hard use. You may view a short on some of the testing process here: http://bit.ly/1HmQ7p8

      With regard to the hose, I can confirm that we would essentially expect the hose to become more flexible with time and use. A few tips we can provide would be attaching your accessories directly to your hose, as this will also help expedite stretching the elasticity of the hose. Dyson vacuums are engineered with versatility in mind and attachments may be used on either the wand or directly on the machine itself for added convenience. Also, when stretching the hose out we would recommend starting by stretching the part of the hose that is nearest to the vacuum first when extending this part to clean your home. We would actually recommend checking to ensure the wand is not obstructed and that the hose is not sucking into itself as the hose is not something we would expect to be an issue during use.

      We would value the opportunity to assist you, to help ensure your Dyson is working properly. Please feel free to contact us directly at [email protected]. We are keen on providing you with support and learning more about your experience.

      Best wishes,
      Kelly

    This is a powerful machine with many attachments available. Carpet style that it will clean is limited to low close tight nap. Minor altering does make it good for all carpets, my invention.
