    The Dyson ball animal is a slim, but heavy cleaning machine. I am particularly please with the amount of suction power. I would recommend this vacuum to customers with ease. As a pet owner, I find this machine capable of cleaning thoroughly, where other machines leave fine pet hair.

    Have been using the Animal for about 12 or so years now. It finally had a motor failure. Don't get me wrong the abuse/torture this vac took was incredible. Still held up with long haired GSD's On to this vac. The suction is FAR more than the previous Animal's, and the beater bar/motor assembly is substantially more weight. It has less noise but much more power. It will literally pull hair bunnies from about 4 inches away on hardwood floors. Much longer hose to get the stairs with that previous models. My only dislike on this is it does not have the release lever at the bottom with you want to clean the floor. You just pull back and it kind of snaps and releases from its upright position. Make me think that part is a little less robust. Otherwise this is a fantastic vac for dog impaired vacuum enthusiasts

    Vacuum is easy to use and has much more power than our previous LG vacuum. Picks up dirt deep in the floor. Dog hair does not seem to be a problem for this vacuum either.

    Cleaning Made Effortless: Dyson Ball Animal 3 Upri

    I recently purchased the Dyson Ball Animal 3 Upright Vacuum with 2 accessories in Nickel/Silver, and I must say that I am thoroughly impressed with its performance. This vacuum cleaner has proven to be a game-changer when it comes to keeping my home clean and pet hair-free. Firstly, the design of the Dyson Ball Animal 3 is both sleek and functional. Its nickel/silver finish adds a touch of sophistication to the appliance, and the compact design makes it easy to maneuver around my home, even in tight spaces. The "ball" feature allows for exceptional mobility, and I found it particularly handy when navigating around furniture and corners. When it comes to performance, the Dyson Ball Animal 3 truly excels. The suction power is nothing short of impressive, effortlessly picking up dirt, debris, and even stubborn pet hair from both carpets and hard floors. The included accessories, especially the specialized pet hair attachment, make cleaning upholstery and stairs a breeze. As a pet owner, this vacuum has been a lifesaver in maintaining a fur-free environment. One of the standout features of this vacuum is the hygienic bin emptying system, which ensures that I don't come into contact with the collected dirt and allergens during disposal. This is a significant plus for anyone concerned about cleanliness and allergies. Another noteworthy aspect is the washable filter, which saves money on replacement filters and contributes to the vacuum's sustainability. It's easy to clean, and I appreciate the eco-friendly approach. Although the Dyson Ball Animal 3 is an investment, it's worth every penny for the performance and convenience it offers. The build quality is robust, and Dyson's reputation for durability and longevity is well-founded. While it may be on the higher end of the price spectrum, I believe it provides excellent value for the quality and features it delivers. In conclusion, the Dyson Ball Animal 3 Upright Vacuum with 2 accessories in Nickel/Silver has exceeded my expectations. It's a powerful, versatile, and stylish vacuum cleaner that makes cleaning my home a much more efficient and enjoyable task. If you have pets or simply want a top-tier vacuum cleaner, I highly recommend considering the Dyson Ball Animal 3. It's a reliable partner in maintaining a clean and fresh living space.

    We have bought 3 vaccuums over the last 3 years. Each have failed miserably. We have thrown away a bissel, a shark. And another bissel vaccuum. I broke down and bought the dyson animal ball 3. Because i am tired of disassembling the vaccuums to clean out dog hair even the bissle pet one. They were all lies. I didnt thing the dyson would work either, however my great pyrenese sheds long bunches of hair and the dyson eats it up without a problem, have had this cleaner for over a month and had not a single issue. And ive also had extremely clean carpet and hardwood floors

    Great sucking power. More powerful than the dc41 animal ball. Mom upgraded. Says it weighs a bit more than the dc41. Likes the new features on the vacuum head. The cable is longer. Happy with the purchase.

    For my money, Dyson is still one of the best options for a vacuum. We recently got a new dog whose black fur really becomes apparent on our light carpet. Our old dyson still did really well and cleaned it over a couple of passes. But the new dyson just takes it all up in one pass with no problem.

    This vacuum is top tier, and buying it through Best Buy was the best decision. I’ve always went for the cheaper vacuums, never could bring my self to spend a lot on one but they never lasted more than a month or so. Finally I got mad enough and said enough is enough and ordered it. It has been amazing, the push button to go from carpet to hardwood is a huge bonus. I’ve been telling everyone about this vacuum

    I have struggled for years to find a vacuum that has met my needs being a mom of now 5 along with a almost 3yr old husky and a bunny. Vacuums would not last in my home for more than about 6mo. This vacuum is amazing, it picked up so much that my old vacuum left behind after vacuuming multiple times. It only took using it 1x and it got deep down into my carpets and rugs. It didnt clog or loose suction even picking up my dogs hair. If you know huskys you could only imagine how bad the shed and how often. It brought the softness and fluff back to my floors, even the high traffic areas. It is a bit pricey for some households but it definitely worth the extra buck if you can swing it.

    I absolutely love my new vacuum. I have gotten to less expensive vacuums within the last year, however, having animals really can back up your vacuums. With this Dyson ball animal vacuum it picks up hair that you didn't even know was there very easy to maneuver and I would highly recommend this vacuum to anybody that has pets.

    This vacuum has been a life-saving upgrade ever since I first purchased it. When the pandemic first started, I spent a lot of time at home. After almost a year of living alone, I decided to adopt two kittens. My apartment quickly became filled with pet hair, treats, and scattered litter. I knew I had to invest in a durable machine and I settled on the Animal 3 based on reviews. I have absolutely no regrets. If you take care of the vacuum, it will perform for years. I highly recommend!
