Customer Ratings & Reviews

I had a Dyson canister vac that finally died after maybe 10-11 years so I bought this one. Pros: typical Dyson suction which in the end is all that really matters. Cons: 1. waaayyyy too heavy, real struggle to maneuver - by the time I'm done vacuuming the house I'm completely worn out and in pain. 2. does not go under my (high) bed or under any furniture (my canister vac did that with ease). 3. handle is flimsy (all Dysons have flimsy handles and attachments though - by the time my old one died it was wrapped in a significant amount of duct tape). 4. If you're spending this amount on a vacuum, the cord should be retractable, or there should at least be a clip on the handle for securing the cord while in use. 5. Because the suction is so good, the hose (for attachments) does not expand at all, so while you have 10+ feet of hose you can't actually use it for anything high up. No cobweb extraction with this thing. I used to love vacuuming with my old Dyson but by the time I'm done vacuuming with this thing I'm almost in tears and probably 100 expletives have been showered upon it. Just be forewarned.

This is an outstanding vacuum with a couple of drawbacks. First let's always talk about the good. This vacuum sucks! It has amazing power. I used my previous vacuum before i used the new Dyson for comparison. After using the new Dyson i was amazed how much more the Dyson picked up. Now I vacuum weekly, but this was almost embarrassing of how much more the Dyson picked up. I was absolutely blown away. I could see an immediate difference in the carpets. As far as hard flooring, when you turn off the brushes it becomes a wind tunnel and pulls up everything in sight. The additional cleaning tools work just as well. Dyson lives up to its reputation of being an excellent home cleaning machine. OK so for the two drawbacks one is very minor, the other definitely needs mentioning. The assembly instructions need to be more detailed. It took some YouTube videos to ensure it was all done properly. The other issue is the maneuvering. While the ball works absolutely as expected, it is definitely hard to push across carpets. You really have to have some push behind it. This was a but disappointing in an otherwise outstanding device from Dyson. 4 out of 5.

Great vacuum! It does the job picking up animal hair and dust and moves from rug to floor seamlessly. It took a few times to get the off and one of the spin brush, but once you get the hang of it works great. The only reason it is a 4 star is that it is quite heavy so taking it up and down the stairs is a bit difficult.

This was a replacement for an aging Dyson DC07 and overall very happy with it. First off assembly was straight forward and easy. No tools. All parts click firmly in place following the included assembly diagram. This was our first experience with a “ball” vacuum and we found it was easier to maneuver than our older version. The one drawback was when you lock it in the upright position there are two additional smaller wheels that create a tripod if you will. If you move the vacuum raised onto just these wheels it will move fine on tile and wood floors, but on our carpeted bedrooms when pushing it forward it will drop off the wheels and ontol the main ball. Performance was as good if not better than the older DC07. No problem picking up dry cereal and rice from the living room area rug. Emptying the canister is an easy process similar to the older version. The only knock I had was they’ve changed the way accessories attach to the wand. We have a power brush from the old vacuum that we used on the wand for vacuuming under the beds that won’t work with this unit. Don’t like that accessories are not backward compatible and the reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5.

Perfect upgrade from my last vacuum. Great for pet hair and long human hair, light, easy to use, gets everything up, not super loud.

Easy set up. Easy to use and lightweight. Cleans carpet and tile floors great.

Best in it's class. We have used Dyson for many years and this is wrapped in complete disguise as a gift for my partner. The title is a tad deceiving because actually/technically vacuums pull. But it will suck up dog hair, dust bunnies crumbs and anything else you might have lost on your floors. It also enables you to go through what you picked up to see if you have lost anything like Diamonds etc.

Great vacuum. Longer cord than the older model we had since 2009 and much better suction!

So far this vacuum is working very well. Does very well to pickup dog hairs out of the rugs. Easy to empty.

Best vacuum cleaner ever. My carpets have never been cleaner.

Overall very good. Powerful. My only minor complaint is that the attachments aren’t very user friendly because it’s not straight forward how to remove and attach the wand used for attachments. Takes some time to figure out but it’s fine after you learn how to engage the attachments.

This thing sucks. It works better than your wife. If you dont want hair on her carpet, get this vacuum. Best suction I have ever had.

Reason we are purchasing another Ball Animal is because our last one we gave away because we moved to a no carpet residence. Moved recently to a carpet upstairs home and this is the 1st thing we purchased for move-in. This is our forever vacuum. :)

I replaced an original animal with this animal 3. WOW!!! The suction on this upgraded model is impressive. The self clearing head is yet to be tested, I have 2 cats and a long pony tale so hair can be a problem but if it’s as good as advertised…..

I purchased the Dyson Animal 3 because my old sweeper was losing suction. I didn’t realize how much the old sweeper was leaving until I began using the Dyson. It does an excellent job.

I thought this was going to be the best vacuum ever but I am so disappointed. It’s much heavier than I expected and the cord is always in the way. It hurts my back to use it for very long. The attachment hose is terrible because you can’t pull it out and use it . The hose continuously pulls back and you need 2 hands to hold the hose extended when you use the small attachments. The good thing is that it does have amazing suction power and does a good job on the bare floor and rug. It’s just a workout to use and I find I’d rather use my old Bissell which is lighter and easier to push. Would never recommend or buy another one.

Amazing vacuum - we had a Dyson which lasted 15 years and it was great until it finally broke. We got this one and WOW, could not believe how much it picked up - Love it. And Best Buy had the best price and super fast delivery.

This Dyson is amazing!. I also owned a prior Dyson, but with a shedding pup, I bought this one, and It is SUPERPOWERED!. It easily removed the accumulated dog hair from a 3 week stay at my in-laws. (whew)

Love this vacuum. Easy to use and works on the hardwood floors as well. The only gripe I have is when removing the extender portion it feels a bit tight, so less easy to maneuver. Overall this was a great purchase!

Good product, no problems Delivery on time . Works fine
