Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great at getting all hair out of the carpet and the special attachment is good for getting it out of the corners. It also works well to clean off the cat tower. Both my fiancé and I have long hair and this vacuum picks it up with no problem, and has yet to tangle it up. It is a little heavy but it’s expected.

This is the best vacuum we’ve ever owned! It’s so powerful and makes you feel like you’re finally actually getting th floor clean. never seen my wife so happy. Lol

I absolutely love this vacuum. I had the original Dyson animal vacuum and just now replaced it with this one, and it is so much better, it’s suction is 1000 times better, the filter is better.. I just can’t say enough about this vacuum cleaner.! I have two large labs and three cats in the house and it does wonderful…

Does a good job, works very well. Device is quite heavy for and 87 year old man to push. When I registered the Animal 3, the Dyson website did not let me know they received the entry.

one of the best vacuum cleaners on the market, easy to use, the first day I used it there was a big difference in my rug it lifted all the trash and dirt

This vacuum is amazing. I think it could suck the carpet right off the floor.

While the suction is fantastic the build quality is severely lacking, while extremely hard to keep clean, most of the handle and build of the vacuum is trash to much flex on the plastic and much to heavy, very dainty plastic parts very breakable. Wand absolutely is not very accessible and creates a structure issue the the main handle. Meanwhile the stand makes it sound like your breaking the vacuum each time you go to use it. It doesn't appreciate rugs depending on the rug. The hose is just lacking to be honest.

Overall this was a solid vacuum however I returned it because the handheld attachment is poorly engineered. It is attached to the spine of the vacuum and does not extend out very far and when you do extend it out it is very awkward to use and trails the vacuum too closely. The previous corded dyson model we had was far superior so I did not find this to be worth $400+. The actual vacuum itself was awesome though and worked extremely well on our thick carpet. I think I'm going to give the newer cordless dyson a shot.

It has good suction and gets close to the baseboards

There is no better vacuum! It cleans my carpets down to the padding. I’ve had Hoover, Electrolux, Bissel, Shark and more. No other can even come close in picking up pet hair, sand, everything! My only regret is that I waisted so much money and time on the other brands. Dyson is worth every penny!

Best vacuum ever. It is a little heavier than my Dyson stick, obviously, but it is much more powerful. I can fill up the canister nearly every use. My carpet literally feels softer.

Great model vacuum. Does catch smaller particles. Easy to clean. Bulky yet meets my needs.

I’ve owned 5 Dyson vacuums in total. They quality is nothing like it use to be. Just comparing my last animal ball upright to this one, hands down Dyson is all about profit. The suction seems equal, but pushing the vacuum shouldn’t be so hard. My old Dyson had pull and it wasn’t so hard to vacuum. It was quite enjoyable. With this new upright I feel like you need to be super woman just to do a simple task. Vacuuming shouldn’t be that hard. Don’t waste your money. Do your research and find a better vacuum for your house!

This is my 2nd Dyson. My first Dyson is over 12 years old! I just wanted the newest model since I have pets, and wanted to take advantage of the newest technology. The suction is AMAZING... and has 3 settings (bare floor, low pile, and high pile) that will alter the suction level. I do not love the extended handle though. The suction comes out of the top of the vacuum handle (where the hose feature is) when the vacuum is in an upright position. The hand held hose is kind of a pain to put back when you are done using it. I liked previous versions much better.

So far this first month the powerful hair cleaning suction power is great, but when I push the button for the normal suction power it doesn’t work. Luckily I have a smaller vacuum I can use on smaller rugs that can’t handle the strong suction or I would have tried to return it.

Is an awesome vacuum. I love it because i can keep it clean

Bought this vacuum after throwing away one a year for the past 10 years. Love that when you vacuum hardwood or tile it doesn't throw the litter or dust back on your floor or feet. The suction is amazing. The fact that you can take almost all of it apart and clean it is amazing. No more smelly vacuum either!! The filters on this bad boy are amazing! Will never go back to using a Hoover. DYSON FOR LIFE!!

It cleans really well but the level of plastic in this thing for the price point is a concern long term I dunno how well it will hold up, but for now it does suck up stuff out of the carpet way better then any other vacuum I've owned, I just dont care for how the handle feels when pushing it, it feels almost flimsy

The vacuum is compact & well designed with very powerful suction. This replaced 2 vacuums of another brand which lasted only 2-3 years each. So far we are pleased with the purchase.

Easy to set setup and use. Love that almost all pieces are removable pretty much impossible for something to get stuck in the vacuum.
