    Never had anything Dyson before and took the leap and holy cow, this thing sucks down to the carpet with authority. The amount it picks up every week is insane, ill never use another brand vacuum again.

    The Animal 3 is more than an Animal It's a Beast. Easy assembly and operation and unreal at getting up dog and cat hair. Looks almost like we have new carpet. Great accessories. And yes I gave to my wife for Christmas and survived.

    I have 3 dogs (2 being German shepherds that are absolute hair balls) and this vacuum has done great so far. The only reason I knock off a star is because of how difficult it is to push this thing around. It is not easy to move along carpet but it has some serious suction power so I guess that’s why.

    My last Dyson lasted 12 years. Finally it would have costed half of what a new one costs. This one has amazing attachments and if just as graceful as the old one. The pet features are great because they pick up pet hair so well.

    Best vacuum ever. Don’t know why I drifted away from Dyson so upon getting a German Shepard puppy, I knew I needed one. The suction is phenomenal and I am super pleased with this vacuum! Thank You Dyson!

    Suction for the hose is good but I’m disappointed with the rest of it. Mostly because I’ve had two other Dyson vacuum cleaners before and both were awesome !! So I’m maybe going back to the Dyson Animal and Allergen Vacuum

    I can’t say it does not clean well it does, there is no blow back like most vacuums it truly does grab hair and dust well ( one Akita and three house rabbits and a parrot) that said it is very flimsy and designed for a shorter person ( I’m 5’10) so it’s awkward to use because the handle is short so annoying for a taller person to use. The handle and wand set up is stupid and pointless really detaching it to use the “ wand “ is a pain in the ( fill in the blank) for the 500 dollar price tag it’s not worth it and should have just gotten another shark.

    It is a great vacuum with great suction. My only complaint is that the accessory hose doesn't stay extended while using it, it coils back up when trying to use it.

    What a mistake!

    I was so excited to get a Dyson, and now I am profoundly disappointed and absolutely I regret this purchase. I had a Shark previously and it was a fantastic vacuum. I only purchased the Dyson because of all this hype about how superior it is to all others, and how much more dirt and grime it can pick up. I have a dog with long hair so I bought into it, but not after years of thoroughly looking into it. It was a big purchase and even bigger regret. I loathe this vacuum. It’s very heavy and very difficult to maneuver. When I place it upright to be stationary for a moment, it falls over. The extension hose system to clean crevices and high areas is just useless, and extremely awkward to utilize. Don’t believe the hype, it’s not worth the money and in my opinion, the hype cannot be legit.

    A beast! Much better than the animal ball 2 vaccum. My area carpets feel brand new. Works well on floors too. Easy to clean and yep have to dump more because the suction is powerful. This is not as heavy too, if you have had dyson ball before.

    I’ve had many Dyson vacuums in the past. The upright ball animal is strong enough for all surfaces, though I still feel the Big Ball Animal from Dyson is more powerful. But for upright vacuums this is the strongest!
