    I bought this because ive had several dysons over the past few decades and felt my old one (8 years old) was needing retirement. Assembly required no tools and was very simple. I had previously vacuumed my house the night before purchasing this. For all intents and purposes my carpets were as clean as they had been after every other time of vacuuming. I couldnt wait to use my new dyson and used it immediately despite the room being clean. At least i thought it was... This vacuum filled the large dustbin after the first room! I continued each room of my home with the same results. This thing cleans deeper than i imagined and got dirt and hair out of places i couldnt see with the naked eye. Since the initial clean, it works great and maintains that initial level of cleanliness. It even works on area and play rugs that my previous vacuum simply wouldnt work on without problems. The dog grooming tool works very well and my furry family member doesnt mind it. The upholstery tool also gets deep down in the surfaces of my couch cushions.

    I have Long hair Alaskan Malamute wolf hybrids, and these big boys shed year round. Not many machines can handle that much hair this one does it like a champ. (⁠ノ゚⁠0゚⁠)⁠ノ⁠~ if you have long hair dogs, YOU NEED THIS.

    This thing really sucks up the animal hair, it’s crazy to see how well it works. If you have pets that shed, this machine is a must have around your home. Looks are a 10/10, very futuristic and awesome looking. Function 10/10, all of the attachments make it worth the little bit extra over the base model. Durability TBD, but if it’s anything like my last Dyson, it’s a 10/10.

    I was hesitant to spend this much money on a vacuum but I decided to give this one a chance. I have to say this is the best vacuum relative to power that I have owned. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because of the weight. It does take some muscle to move it around. The attachments are great and the angles it provide while cleaning is second to none. The overall look is great and I am very happy with the purchase. Wish it was cheaper, but if it lasts, I am highly satisfied.

    Insanely Good! Strong Suction. Strong Power! I do not really like the extension suction cable seeing that it is quite hard to keep it extended. I will recommend purchasing an extension at Amazon! Otherwise, I love this vacuum.

    The cord hose is too stiff and the was the plasitc peice pulls out. It makes it hard to reach some places and bend the hose. I've only had this vacuum for a week. I heard after a year it loses suction. So far it pics up the dog hair well. I have 4 dogs and 3 cats which are indoor out door pets. I love the deshedder attachment to bush the dogs. They dont love it so much though the vacuum is to loud and scary.

    Amazing suction, it was difficult to assemble but I watched a YouTube video that helped me. It’s great on carpet and hard floor so great vacuum it was just difficult to assemble. Much better than the handhelds

    Amazing vacuum. Works great on dog hair across all surfaces. Picks up dirt you didn't even know was there. This is my second Dyson I've owned in the past 15 years. These machines work great and last.

    I have 6 cats and this Dyson Animal Ball 3 Extra makes my home seem like there are no animals living in it. I use it every other day and would reccommend this vacuum to anyone that has animals and wants an ultra clean living space. Dyson provides the tools, you provide the elbow grease. Buy one.

    Its a little heavy but cleans carpets very well. I like that the cord is very long. I would not recommend to clean stairs with it but All in all it works great.

    This thing sucks. Pun intended. Has great suction ability to capture deep down dirt and pet hair from carpet and furniture. I do not like the hose attachment set up though. Using it is kind of awkward. I also wish the cord was an auto matic retractable option. It does weigh a little too, so not the best to go up and down stairs easily. Ultimately, it is a good vacuum though.

    This has been a good vacuum an it does good on all surfaces. I do think the material could be better due to the price. The plastic can make noises from time to time and the handle area should have been thicker plastic.
