Broken after 5 weeks
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.When we got this item, we were amazed on how well it worked. It assembled quickly and came with 7 attachments, which all have their own function. Only problem is that we were holding it by the handle to vacuum steps (even though it comes with a step cleaner attachment) and the handle is nothing more than a soft plastic. It bowed in half and when we tried to use the regular vacuum, the beater brush quit working. We've had it for 5 weeks! Tried fixes on the internet and tried contact local Dyson center but they are closed because of the virus. I did not but this at Best Buy, but at another dealership. So who knows what's going to happen from here?

Posted .Hello there, this is Kelly with Dyson. Thank you for sharing your review of the Dyson Ball Animal upright. I was so happy to read how pleased you were with how well this machine worked for you in your home, and how you appreciated all of the included attachments that come with this machine. The Dyson Ball Animal was engineered for homes with pets, with features that dig out dirt, hair and allergens. This machine offers 270 air watts of powerful suction, along with our Dyson Ball technology, which makes it easier to steer into different places with a simple turn of a wrist. Your machine will also feature a wand and extension hose for use with cleaning up high, under furniture and in hard to reach areas. Attachments may be used on both the wand as well as directly on the hose for added versatility.
Hearing that you've had issues with the handle is very unusual to hear. Dyson machines are made from polycarbonate ABS, which is same material used in riot shields and crash helmets. They are tough, so we subject them to 50,000 hours of testing and 550 individual tests – all to ensure that they can withstand a lifetime’s hard use. You may view a short on some of the testing process here: http://bit.ly/1HmQ7p8
I can confirm that yes, our Dyson Service Centers are currently closed to walk-in traffic, we are able to schedule ship-to repairs, and may be able to fix your issue with sending a replacement part. While this is not something we would ever expect to occur, I'm happy to share that we do have Dyson experts standing by to assist in the event that support is ever needed. We include our contact info directly on our machines, as well as make ourselves available via live chat on the Dyson website as well as through 24-hour email support. Also, as a reminder, Dyson backs all new full sized machines from an authorized retailer with a free 5-year guarantee. Please consider emailing us directly at [email protected]. We look forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes,
Kelly

Worst dyson so far
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.First off this vacuum does have great sucking power. But that's where the positives end. It doesn't stay standing up which is annoying and a common issue. It also is poor on hardwood floors and does not suck up anything unless it is on top of it. Also, probably just ours but the handle continuously comes apart from the rest of the unit leaving you holding a handle and the rest of the unit on the floor. This has come down in quality greatly from our previous models and is an embarrassment for dyson. Unfortuinately we wanted to love it and gave it too long to grow on us and we are outside the return period. Not recommended for anyone no matter what the sale price .

Posted .Hi there, this is Krystal with Dyson. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review on the Dyson Ball Animal. I am pleased to hear you are satisfied with the suction. The problem you have described with the handle is very unusual and certainly not the way the vacuum is intended to perform. Therefore, we would value the opportunity to address this in further detail. Feel free to contact us at [email protected] and we will be happy to help.
Best Wishes,

The best
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a wonderful vaccuum but i broke it and was my fault not any manufacturer error. Got the animal 3 even better. Would not choose any other line of vaccuum.

best on hardwood mostly smooth surfaces Not carpet
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.i bought a few of these vacuums around November 2020. they work very good on hardwood and vinyl. There aren’t any headlights which is a feature I miss from the good ole Kirby. The only rugs or carpet it can vacuum are the very thin smooth rugs. it will go over the thick carpet, but it will also suck all the fibers it can from the carpet and since we do not have pets I know it is fibers from the carpet.

Replacement for Shark Lift Away Navigator
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've used a Shark for 8 years and love many things about the Shark. I have allergies and found the Shark to be well recommended for people like me which is why I've used the Shark for 8 years. I started to wonder if maybe it was time for a new vacuum since my Shark was 8 years old and I've heard so many positive things about Dyson. The Dyson Big Ball Animal Upright vacuum was on sale for a decent price. Seemed to pick up the dust well from all my various home surfaces, but not more than the Shark normally does. What I DO NOT like. The Big Ball on the vacuum stops the Dyson from going under beds. My Shark goes under them easily because the canister lifts off easily so I DO NOT have to move the beds. With the Dyson, one would have to move the beds or use the tiny attachment that comes with the Dyson. The second time I was ready to sweep the entire house, I ran a test. I swept each room with the Shark first. Then swept with the Dyson. I did that for all 6 rooms in my house. The results, the Dyson did pick up some material from the rugs. The material was mostly brown fiber from my livingroom and hallway carpet, green fibers from my one bedroom carpet, etc. There was very little "dust" in the Dyson canister. I took photos of the contents of each vacuum but they are on my phone, not this computer. I can share them if people wish to see. I think the fine people at Shark would like to see them!~ My plan, return the Dyson and keep using my 8 year old Shark which does not rip fibers out of my carpets.

Great job at cleaning but very smelly
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had this vacuum for a few years and it works really well, but over a year ago it started to smell and everything we tried won't help. Apparently we have to get it professionally cleaned.

Posted .Hello there, this is Kelly with Dyson. I am sorry to read your review and learn that you've developed a small in your Dyson Ball Animal upright vacuum. Instances may sometimes occur when the filter on the vacuum may catch a smell of what is being vacuumed. Sometimes smells can occur if the filter is left wet or damp and put back into the vacuum too soon. Odors can also become trapped within the cyclone, which isn't a part of the machine that can be cleaned with water. We would value the opportunity to go over your machine with you, and provide you with needed support, or answer any questions you may have on filter or cyclone maintenance. Please email us directly at [email protected] and we will be in touch.
Best wishes,
Kelly
