Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have really long hair and it’s always stuck on the carpet including my dog that sheds all year. I was iffy about if this vacuum was going to be able to lift the hair and furs from the carpet without getting stuck, but I was wrong! This Vacuum picked every bit of hair and fur no problem! Definitely worth the price! If you don’t have one go get you one ASAP!

Great vacuum with powerful suction, really easy to handle and use.

Top performance! Very good power for a house, amazing extracting dust from rugs

Great vacuum overall and very powerful as well as easy to use.

excellent cleaning ability. Does best--cleaning and handling on hard surfaces and low to medium pile carpets. Hard to handle on higher pile rugs/carpeting. Design is has improvements over previous (regular configuration) Dyson models. Tools are secured on the shaft rather than the top of the removable debris chamber; much less like to fall off. Longer power cord is a great improvement. Ball is more maneuverable.

Has great suction and performs well. However, I cant help but feel that the design / build quality doesn't match up with the amount paid. Maneuvering the vacuum with its strong suction is more difficult than other vacuums we have used, despite this the handle feels the most flimsy of any vacuum I have ever used. It often flexes instead of turning the vacuum. It is very compact and works very well. It is just hard to get over a flimsy handle when paying this much.

Solid as expected... Dyson does the job! We use this in a work / commercial environment and have no issues...

This is a great vacuum at an affordable price. Very good suction power

My second Dyson!! My first Dyson lasted 15 years so I decided to buy another, in hopes it lasts as long.

I thought my carpet was clean but after using the Dyson vacuum I was surprised how much dirt it pulled up.

It's named appropriately-this is truly an animal Has great suction-does the job

After many years of only purchasing the other big name brand I really wanted to like this having high hopes based on all of the hype but it was a giant disappointment. It is possible that ours was just defective but I suspect that these were just design flaws. Right off the bat it was super frustrating that I could not transport it around the house on the back wheels (turned off and moving room to room) without the wheels popping back and collapsing the entire unit to a vacuuming position making it almost impossible to push when turned off. Then while vacuuming twice the head just fell off even though I had been sure to lock it in place after the first time it fell off. The suction was pretty decent but I'll just share that I had returned this and immediately went back to that "other" big brand and when I came home to test it out it had almost a half of a canister still filled even after having used this. Bottom line; it wasn't worth the time for me.

Excellent suction, especially to pick up hair, whether human or animal! Maneuvers extremely well! So easy to empty the canister with one press of a button, poof! all the contents in the canister are gone! Love that it is corded so I never have to run out of battery! Go ahead and give this vacuum a try, you will not be disappointed I promise!

I have two german shepherds and there is no othwr vaccum that even comes close to the Dyson Ball animal 3

we've had an oreck for years...this is better. little heavy but amazing.

I have the original animal upright and a newer Dyson compact. Bought this and it cleaned up an unbelievable amount 1 day after using the compact in the same rooms. The suction is unreal and the new tangle free head even made Persian carpet fringe a stress free event. Highly recommend for anyone, especially a pet owner.

Had a one of the original Dyson vacs before but it broke down and needed replacing. I'm a big fan of Dyson aside from the fact that they're pretty pricey. That said, I went and got this one and was not disappointed. I don't have a pet so I can't comment on the pet hair pick up of this thing but it performs great for me. Whether hardwood or carpet, this thing will grab every little bit of dust, everytime. I don't really use the attachments that much but they work great too. Only gripe is the extended hose. If you're using it to vacuum stairs then it works great. However, if you're trying to use it in smaller, confined spaces then it's almost worthless since it bunches up around the hose end. That said, this thing works great and worth every penny IMO

Had a previous model of the Animal, and it lasted around nine years. This one seems to have more suction and the beater bar works amazingly well as it's a different/better design - it pulled SO much dirt and dust out of the carpet the first time we used it we were shocked.

Second Dyson Animal we have purchased. The first one lasted for just a touch less than 10 years with heavy use. Lightweight and easy to maneuver. Picks up pet hair very well. Provides a strong balance between maneuverability and sheer suction power.

I got the vacuum due to my dog. I had a couple carpets that were pretty bad and one I was ready to throw away. After using the Shark Animal 3, the carpets are good again. I was shocked at how well it works.
