    My last Dyson Animal lasted almost 15 years. It didn't have the ball, and I was worried I wouldn't like it, but it turns out I LOVE it! Fantastic product from a fantastic company. You really pay for the quality not just the name.

    I have had both the original Dyson Ball Animal and the Animal 2 which both worked well for our house with 6 cats.. But this one is by far my favorite! It is much more quiet and as someone who has waist length hair, I love the no tangle beater bar!

    This is pretty strong, the tube is in an inconvenient space but its not that bad, hard to push on carpet, could use bigger wheels on the front end. Has to be tilted on either side for the ball to actually be of use, as for the 2 back wheels, they are completely lifted from the ground and provide no support or assistance in pushing forward. Needs more or bigger wheels for ease of use. dont like having to wait about 28 hrs for the rung out filter to dry. No sun* Straight back and forth would not recommend, for turns sure.

    I was amazed by the amount of dirt that was in our carpet that was picked up by the Dyson. And I usually vacuum weekly. The carpet is looking great!

    I love Dyson and this vacuum was a replacement for the Dyson we have had for almost 12 years. This was a great upgrade! It works amazing in all floor types and especially with picking up pet hair. Definitely would recommend.

    It stinks, smells like the motor is burning

    I had Dyson products for years and bought this one less than a month ago. From the first time to this day, it smells like the motor is burning. Some products have that weird smell the first time you use it and it goes away. This has not. I have to air out the home because I’m afraid of what we are smelling is toxic. Perhaps I was given a faulty product, I will return this one and get a new one. If it happens with another vacuum then I will move onto another model of Dyson because this issue is new and it doesn’t seem safe at all.

    It works, great suction so far, but its so heavy and hard to maneuver around. The hose is impossible to deal with, and I hate how the extension wand just sits in the base all lose. The floor setting being on top of the roller is odd to me, If I was someone who struggled physically this vacuum would not be one that I recommend at all. I much prefer my older Shark to Dyson, but that is just me. Wish I would've went with a new Shark instead but I figured Id treat myself to this one, color me disappointed. It just sits in my closet now as I use my old Shark.

    Does very well overall, but is not easy to move around. Does great for pet hair but the nozzle for getting hard to reach places is very stiff and does not give you much room for extension.

    I love my previous animal ball dyson. My daughters friend stepped on it and broke it. Would’ve cost almost as much to buy a new one to repair. So I ended up buying a new one. I do love it. Just not made as good as the first one I bought when They first came out.

    I actually returned this vacuum - my house isn't too big and doesn't have much carpeting so it was a bit overkill for what I need. It's a bummer there aren't more accessories though
