    Al my vacuums have been Dyson brand from the cordless ones to this one and I love them all great suction literally the only vacuum that will pick up all dog hair easy to clean easy to used has a tube for high areas and stairs. The thing I love most about Dyson is once you have one you will always have one Dyson warranty will replace all parts as the ware and tear on them affects them which it’s not a quick thing Dyson will mail you every part as you need it until you have a new vacuum again there app is easy to use and you can register you vacuum to make it easier to find the right parts for your specific vacuum. Definitely 10 out of 10!

    The best blow job I’ve ever had

    This vacuum changed my life. It has the best suction in a vacuum I’ve ever used. It was pretty easy to assemble. I’ll admit it’s a tad heavy and can be SLIGHTLY difficult turning but when you factor in how heavy it is and how strong it sucks in it makes sense. It’s pretty low profile and can be stored away easily. Detaching the arm is amazing and easy and retains that good quality suck Dyson is so good at delivering. Literally moments after assembling it my youngest son spilled half a bag of pretzels on the floor and my wife asked me to pick it up. What mess? There was no mess because the vacuum made that mess disappear like Amelia Earhart. Seriously recommend purchasing; it’ll keep your floors and carpets clean.

    We board dogs in our house all year around with our own 2 labs, cat, and foster dogs. This is the first vacuum that ACTUALLY pulls up all the hair and dirt without going over it 100 times. As a pet owner and sitter, I HIGHLY recommend this vacuum!!

    Purchase this Dyson Ball Animal 3 upright for my mom she always wanted Dyson product. When she got to use it she started zipping around the house. So far no problems easy to clean out and now she able to reach high shelf with its extended vacuum tubes.. I like it so much that I myself purchase Dyson Animal ball upright. I might say I'm impress.

    I definitely recommend this vacuum! The first time I used it in the living room I found how much cat fur was hidden in the carpet! It is easy to move and after a few times using it you will find how to vacuum the corners of the walls.

    The head is smaller than our previous Dyson and harder to roll because of the suction at both brush settings. If the carpeting isn't tacked down you won't be able to pause in one spot without the carpet being sucked into the roller heads.
