    My second Dyson, had the first for 17+ years. The plastic is a little cheaper than my original but it still works great! I also have a Dyson stick vac- love it! And have purchased Dyson vacs for my kids. Great machine!

    Save yourself the headache and just buy a Shark.

    After owning a shark for seven years that finally gave out on me, I thought I'd give Dyson a try. I'm honestly appalled by the differences. The plastic for the Dyson is thin and flimsy, and the "ball" blows air that sends dog hair flying around my house. Functionality is horrible -- you have to use force to make it stand up, stop everything and bend over to change floor types, and go through a multi-step process to use the hose. The vacuum is also hard to maneuver in anything but a straight line and wouldn't go over my floor vents, so I have to lift it each time. The hose, when attached to the handle, sucks air when the vacuum is upright and sucks in my hair and clothing any chance it gets. Good luck trying to roll it somewhere that requires going over an uneven surface because the wheel system deploys, and the head slams to the ground... why would anyone want this? The process of vacuuming is already unpleasant enough without a machine that makes it that much harder. I went back and bought the new Shark to compare side by side and found the Shark to pick up more than the Dyson. With the lift-away feature, the Shark also reaches more areas than the Dyson. The only good thing about this product is the dog grooming tool. Save yourself the headache (and money) and buy a shark.

      Hello,

      Thank you for your review. This is Miella from Dyson. We're sorry to hear of your frustration with your Dyson Ball Animal 3 Extra upright machine. The Ball Animal 3 is designed with ABS plastic, the same material in police riot shields. It also goes through a very rigorous testing phase to ensure it can endure more than the average bump and drop.

      The Ball Animal 3 can move between floor types without adjustment, but the Motorbar does include a manual adjustment lever to get closer to hard flooring or higher for thicket carpet. There will generally be two clicks that you should get when putting the vacuum into the upright position. These clicks are not always noticeable unless put into the upright position at a slower speed. I would recommend putting the unit into the upright position at a slower pace in order to listen to the clicks that occur in order to troubleshoot the problem. One click will be the wheels of the vacuum going into place. The second click will be the wheels locking into place. It is important to ensure the second click occurs as without the second click, stabilizer wheels are not able to lock securely into place.

      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

    With Dyson it's proven that you get what you pay for. It's a great machine and was exactly what my husband wanted. We did a test vacuum on the living room rug and then went behind it with the Dyson. We had been leaving behind so much dog hair. Unbelieveable.

    Great vacuum I just missed the automatic, adjusting cleaner head on the animal 2. On the animal 3 you have to bend down and change floor height with a sliding switch on the cleaner head.

    Hate the ball

    The vacuum cleans well in typical Dyson style, but functionally, we don’t like the “ball.” It is difficult to maneuver and is just generally clunky. Also, the handle does not stay locked in the upright position, making it difficult to step away from the vacuum when needed. I would buy another Dyson, just not this style.

    Works well but so heavy. I thought I would never get the cleaning head to stay attached. YouTube videos were necessary to get it put together since the written instructions were useless.

    Not impressed. The head is much smaller than my previous Dyson. No foot release, which is extremely annoying due to the head releases when you are trying to carry it. Suction seems less powerful than my previous purple model. And as typical, the tubing is difficult to keep pulled out while in use. No issues with maneuvering.

    Bought an animal about 18 months ago. It started having issues and i didnt know it was still under warranty so i ordered this one. Same dogs same flooring but the head doesn't have to be cleaned every other use. Love this new one so far.

    I really wanted to love this vacuum. The vacuum itself is short and really heavy to push around. The suction and no hair wrap brush head are the only positives but not enough to keep. Returned it.

    From the day I bought it , I have had trouble getting this thing to lean back. It constantly gets stuck and feels like it will break if you try and force it. I’m extremely frustrated at this point with this thing getting stuck every other week that I wish I could just get my money back at this point.

    This is my 2nd Dyson. I have 3 hairy doggos and I usually purchase a new vacuum every few years. High volume user here. The stick attachment is slightly awkward but the suction strength is why I purchsed this one. Solid, reliable vacuum.

    Says it’s the best for pet hair and so far it’s been good for that. The base won’t stay up when you wheel it around. That’s the only down side to this vacuum.
