    Good suction, but that's all

    While it has strong suction and picks up dirt, it's not as as solid as my old Dyson. Despite the price, it has a cheap feel to it and it's very heavy. The brush head fell off several times the first time I used it.

    The extension hose is totally, 100% useless.

    We just bought the Dyson - Ball Animal 3. I have already given a review of Dyson, but this is based upon more usage. I welcome someone from Dyson responding to this. I have 9 days to return it and would just as soon keep it, but.. The 'but' is how useless the hose is. The hose is quite long and has great promise, but it seems to be impossible to us it an any reasonable length of extension. First you cannot extend it and keep it extended when you turn the machine on. The suction draws the hose back together with more force than let you maintain a more full extension. You need an assistant to hold the vacuum as you use the extended hose. If the hose has shrunk upon itself, you cannot re-extend it without your assistant holding the vacuum or you turn it off and start all over again. Is anyone able to use the machine by yourself and maintain a fully extended hose? What about someone from Dyson answering? The length of the hose is totally useless. I doubt if we will keep this machine. Can anyone assist us to keep it? Thanks and best

    The Dyson Ball Animal 3 really is the best one of them yet. The changes made to this unit to self-clean the roller of long hair is no joke, it really works! I've used Dyson products for years, and I'm so impressed with this unit I've bought two of them so I can keep one on each floor.
