Posted .Hi Sofia, this is Kelly with Dyson. We're sorry to hear that you've found the Ball Animal 3 vacuum to be too heavy. This machine is just over 17 pounds, so it's on par with the weights of our other upright vacuums. It was designed for use on both carpets and bare flooring. When you do clean bare floors, you can disengage the brush bar by pressing the brush bar power button, located next to the power button on your machine. If you have any other questions/concerns, please get in touch with us directly at askdysonUS@dyson.com.
Best wishes,
Kelly

Unable to push machine over my carpet
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I do not have deep carpet and even using the setting for plush carpets I was unable to push this machine. Called support, they said to take the roller off, imo that is not a viable solution. Should be much easier to push. On the end it does have great suction and picks up deep down dirt

Lasted 2 months
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great suctions while it last. For it being so expensive youd think the quality would be better as it no longer turns on after 2 months of use. Not too sure why but hopefully I am able to make progress with a manufacturing warranty.

Wouldn’t recommend
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The hand is a flimsy plastic and you feel like you’ll break it if you turn it too hard. If you have to use the wand, it doesn’t work well in tight places. Very poor quality for the price.

Got new carpet
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got new carpet and choose Dyson Ball Animal because it had 3 levels for how to use on thicker carpet. We have it set to the highest level and I can barely move it on the carpet which is only between 1/2 to 3/4 in high. I very disappointed with the Dyson as it was very expensive, and the salesman assured me that it would work.

Posted .Hi, this is Summer with Dyson. We're very sorry to hear that you are having trouble using your Dyson Ball Animal 3 vacuum on your new carpet. Please note that if you do have thick/special carpeting, it is best to reach out to the carpets' manufacture for the suction limit. If there is to much suction, the vacuum will not work as intended. To resolve this issue, we do have the "easy to push" cleaner head, that can be purchased directly from the Dyson Official Website. We want you to love your Dyson machine from the first day and assure you our support team is always at the ready, should you need us. If you're ever in need of Dyson troubleshooting assistance, please don't hesitate to reach our support team at askdysonus@dyson.com. Thank you for choosing Dyson technology!
Best wishes,

Dyson vacuum
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Steing suction on demand, lightweight easy enough for a teenager to use.
I would recommend this to a friend Cheap junk
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Extremely disappointed, broke in first use. Would not stand upright. Also the hose for the handheld is ridiculously stiff making the unit very akward to use. This felt very cheap upon unboxing and unfortunately my first impressions were correct. Buy anything else, Best Buy returned with no issue and I got a shark and am loving it

A REAL animal
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A little bit too much suction. Can't figure out how to stop brushes. Won't work on throw rugs- just eats them.

Posted .Hi there, this is Kelly with Dyson. Your machine features an Anti-tangle Motorbar™ cleaner head, with suction control. We always suggest checking your manufacturers recommended cleaning instructions, for the flooring type you're cleaning. The three levels of suction are controlled by the slider on the front of the cleaner head. Slide the suction control to suit the floor type. 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.
