    It’s a decent vacuum for the money HOWEVER the hose bends awkwardly when using the attachments and the hose itself is hard to pull. Using the attachments is basically pointless but for doing carpets it works 100x better than any shark! I would be hesitant to recommend if you don’t have a second vacuum to do the detail work of attachments.

      Hi Evan, this is Kelly with Dyson. We're sorry to hear that you had some issues with the hose on your Ball Animal 3. The hose will be rather stiff at first. The more it's stretched and used, the more pliable and flexible we'd expect for that to be. You can fully outstretch the hose, and leave it like that overnight, which will help the hose to relax some. If you have any other questions/concerns, please get in touch with us directly at askdysonUS@dyson.com.

      Best wishes,
      Kelly

    Heavier and less user friendly than older models.

    The ball feature is nice, however, Dyson engineers/marketing added more weight than our previous discontinued Dyson upright model (at least 15 years old). Due to the mass centered around the ball it is much more awkward to push and control. The ball design would be more user friendly if it was lighter or if the center of mass was redistributed to improve ergonomics and less wrist fatigue.

      Hello there, this is Kelly with Dyson. We're sorry to hear that you've found the Ball Animal 3 to be so heavy in your use. When compared to the previous Ball Animal 2 model, Ball Animal 3 actually weighs less. The majority of owners have found that due to the ball technology, the vacuum is easier to steer into difficult places. Also, this helps give the machine a more streamlines profile, allowing access to tight spaces and lowering the center of gravity to make the vacuum lighter in the hand. If you still have any questions or concerns that we can help to address, feel free to get in touch with us at askdysonUS@dyson.com.

      Best wishes,
      Kelly

    Heavy Weight but cleans well

    It cleans better than my old Dyson upright vacuum, however, it is heavier than my original retired model and hard to maneuver below the sofa & bed as the "Ball" limits the reach under sofa and bed if you want to skip using accessories. This vacuum cleaner gives you a good workout.
