    Need Muscle

    I've been a Dyson owners for years. I can only explain my life as incredibly busy, hectic, balls-a-juggling (always). When I stop my spins to vacuum (I have 4 pets) I need it to be as efficient and effective as possible. I found the canister vacuum to be HARD to push the head over carpet (u need muscle), the relentless leaning over (for carpet + woods) is a bit much, and the ball follows you as u move w/ briskness, picking up small furniture (etc's) along the way... and so it slams against bigger furniture pieces (or just gets hung up on them). If you twirl around a table... you have to twirl the canister back around in the reverse direction (this is easier to do with an upright that is motorized like power steering). This model DOES have GREATtttttt SUCTION. I have 30% carpet (lushy wools), 70% hardwoods. If you have only hard flooring and big open spaces.... this is a great product to consider. If you live in a smaller urban efficient space with some lushy area rugs - I'd steer clear. I returned my canister and got Dyson's multipurpose upright (which replaced my older DC25 upright). It maneuvers fast, swift, NO PUSHING that requires my arm muscles, and I am a HUGEeeeee FAN of Dyson's "articulating head floor attachment." I could not live my life without it...

      Hi there, this is Kelly with Dyson. I'm sorry to learn that you had a poor experience with your Dyson Big Ball canister vacuum. Dyson canister vacuums are generally among our most powerful offering in the Dyson line of vacuum cleaners. Also, the Dyson Big Ball Canister rides on a ball and features a low center of gravity to help it stay upright – and get back up if it falls over. We would certainly not expect the machine to tip over or get hung up on your home furnishings. While I understand you've since returned your purchase for an upright, we'd value the opportunity to learn more regarding your experience, as we're dedicated to customer satisfaction. Please consider emailing us directly at [email protected]. We look forward to hearing from you.

      Best wishes,
      Kelly

    I've always purchased the standing Dyson's but for some reason this one intrigued me and I feel like it feels better to use on bare floors. It rolls, and the arm and extension I feel are better than just the free standing models. The attachments are very handy, and even though it's fairly a larger vacuum it still doesn't feel bulky. Best vacuums ever!

    I really like the dyson big ball canister--as far as canisters go. picks up good, easy to clean out, love the auto retract cord. (I hate cords), not so good on area rugs because of good sucktion. a little cumberson, but easy to maneuver. I give it 41/2 stars

    I had a dyson for 9 years it was well built and worked great. It’s been looking suction so I wanted another dyson model. It has great suction but the parts are cheap and not well made. Returned it as it didn’t do well on my hardwood floors. Just blew stuff around.

      Hi there, this is Krystal with Dyson. Thank you for taking the time to leave a review on the Dyson Big Ball Canister vacuum. I am pleased to hear you are satisfied with suction. However, I am sorry to hear that it did not work well on your hardwood floors. This is very unusual to hear due to the great suction power it has. Also, please rest assured, Dyson machines are made from polycarbonate ABS which is the same material used in riot shields and crash helmets. We subject them to 50,000 hours of testing and 550 individual tests. All of this to ensure they can withstand a lifetime's hard use. 

      You may view a short video of the testing process here:  http://bit.ly/1lhNOt0

      We understand that you may have already returned the vacuum. However, we would value the opportunity to learn more about your experience. Please contact us at [email protected] with your serial number, description of issue or concern and your contact information and we will be happy to help.

      Best Wishes,
      Krystal
