    So my wife vacuum's daily, yes daily. She likes this model because its light, easy to maneuver, get into tight corners, and easy to clean. Hopefully, it will be a durable machine, will find out if it isn't. The warranty is 5 years.

    I really like this vacuum and it has great suction which is what I needed. The pushing and pulling of the handle part is a little strenuous but a good workout;)!! I do recommend it but the upright was better to push.

    I'm a Dyson fan and own 2 other Dyson Vacuums. I purchased this canister because I think Dyson is no longer making canisters and just do not like the cordless for all around cleaning. This vacuum is lighter and cheaper made. The on/off button is very small and you have to bend down and push the lever with a finger. It feels so cheap you think it will break off.. I love my older Dyson canister but time will tell with the newer cheaper made model and how it holds up.

    Terribly smelly!

    I bought this vacuum cleaner a couple of years ago and I am extremely unhappy with it. It cost me over $400. If it had been cheaper I would have replaced it by now and given it to someone I hate. As far as suction power, no problem, it does a good job, but if you want your house to smell disgusting every time you use it, then I recommend it. The problem is, there is no way you can clean the fine dust deposits that collect in the filter (see pic). You are not allowed to immerse that part in water, and the only way to get the smelly fine powder out is to suck it out with a secondary vacuum cleaner, if you have one. I called Dyson customer service about it and they said the only way to get it cleaned is to have it professionally serviced. It is evidently a design fault that if I had known about, I would not hat bought this vacuum. I do not know if this particular model is the same, or if the design has been changed, I just wish to warn anybody so that before they buy, they check this "feature" out.

      Hello Vee, this is Kelly with Dyson. I'm sorry that you're so unhappy with your Dyson Big Ball Canister 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. Also while the cyclone cannot be washed with water, we do recommend using a vacuum tool to clean the outside of the mesh as well as a can of compressed air to blow away dirt/dust on the inside as well. We have received your email correspondence, but please feel free to reach back out to us again at [email protected] and we will be in touch.

      Best wishes,
      Kelly

    I have had 3 Dyson vacuums and they all have been outstanding. I find the canister much easier to maneuver than the upright. It has excellent cleaning power, easy to clean and store. I love it!

    We had a Dyson Upright for almost 10 years and it was time for something new. We wanted a bagless canister vac and the Dyson had the best suction and features. The quality of the Dyson products are always a concern as they are plastic particularly the clips for the connectors. For this reason we purchased a 4 year protection plan which we had with the last model which is definitely why it lasted 10 years. Its a good product that is light weight and bagless with great suction..

    I am so happy with my new big ball animal canister vacuum I can’t believe it! I was shocked at how much power it had. Even the way that the canister opens now is much easier and I get almost no blowback of dust when I empty my unit. The thing I love most is there’s nowhere I can’t reach with my extra attachments thank you very much Dyson you did it again!
