    I owned the previous generation of the Dyson Animal vacuum cleaner. I am not totally sold on the ball system yet but I have not used it enough to fall in love or hate it. The suction has been improved over the years and I loved the old version. Overall, still a great machine.

    Strongest vacuum ive ever owned. I used my old vacuum and right after used this one. The amount of dirt that this picked up even after using the old one was insane.

    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.

    Great product as always. The lock for standup and the head seem a little lower quality than older models but still performs great. Storage for attachments is not great.

    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

    Powerful Suction but Too Expensive

    This vacuum is powerful when first vacuuming but that's all that I can say to be excellent. I think this vacuum is a bit overpriced at $300 on sale. Sometimes it has a hard time standing on its own which is not good if i'm spending $300 on a vacuum. The hose portion of the vacuum is very flawed in design, You have to push it up and try and use it with a long hose that's not very flexible. I will give credit that it did pick up old carpet cleaner powder which was still in the carpet for months before using this vacuum. However at $300 its still an expensive item that doesn't feel like it's $300 material wise. It looks futuristic but most of it is plastic that can bend easily. I ended up returning within 15 days and getting my $300 back, It's a lot of money for a vacuum cleaner so I'll be looking for something else that's about half the price or less.

    Amazing vacuum

    This is a great vacuum. It appears to be built well, with quality parts, and seems solid. There are plastic pieces but seems like it will last. This cleans the floor very well, much better than any other vacuum I’ve owned over the years, and I love the self hair cleaning head. Having a wife and daughters with long hair, this is a huge bonus. We’ve had no issues so far. The only negative thing I can say is that the top cord wrap is attached to the hand vacuum piece. In order to use the handheld vacuum piece, the entire cord must be removed which is quite annoying for quick handheld vacuum jobs. The vacuum is so good overall though I won’t knock off a star Also, it’s not heavy. I was worried about this based on the reviews but it’s not heavy. It may be heavier than some, but definitely wouldn’t consider it heavy or difficult to maneuver. Another negative is the instructions for assembly. The instructions are somewhat terrible. They tried to simplify the instructions but made the instructions inadequate in doing so and difficult to follow and understand.

    I recently traded in my older Dyson Ball Animal upright vacuum for this one. It gets the job done just like the older version, the manueverability is alittle more stiff but there are different upgrades on this compared to the old. Its still brand new to me but I would recommend if your looking for another Dyson vacuum.

    Excellent machine! It has plenty of cord which seems like a silly brag until you realize how much more you can clean without stopping to u plug it and move to a different outlet. It is insanely quiet also which is great for napping kids, as that is the only time we have to clean. We are loving it!

    Excellent product. Few years ago I was tricked by advertising and chose a Shark product instead of a Dyson. The adds were very convincing and well done. Now I see that Shark is not even half of a Dyson. So, don’t believe the Adds. Dyson is a Top product way ahead …..

    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.

    I have had this for almost a year. Zero issues, works great on my carpet, rugs, and is much lighter than my old one. I would highly recommend this Dyson. Lots of my family and friends own them as well and they have similar prasies as well.
