    This thing picks up everything!! My husband came in with tons of sand in his shoes from work. I grabbed this dyson and the sand was picked up in seconds, plus just click on one button and throw the sand into my garbage can! Love it

    Didn’t work well for us, decided to get an upright instead. It just felt clunky to drag around and didn’t work well for our place. Might be great for other folks.

    This vacuum cleaner is the best I have ever bought. Compact and really sucks. (Literally) it is great for any room. No changing heads between rugs and bare floors. No filters or bags to change. It is worth the price.

    This is the best vacuum cleaner I’ve had! Our living room carpet was very hard to vacuum until I got this Dyson. There is a button that can be controlled while vacuuming that allows my carpet to be cleaned with no effort. I would recommend this to anyone who has carpeting. It works great!

    This is our 2nd Dyson. The first lasted 14+ years. My wife is a diehard canister fan, We tested 3 other machines( but in fairness we knew it was going to be Dyson). Easy handling, great suction, and easy to maneuver. Like the self righting feature and the removable rollers on the brush head.

    Lol, but seriously, super powerful suction, comes with all the normal tools you expect, does what a vacuum does and does it well. Only issue in the short time so far is that it can be a little.hard to vacuum rugs because it wants to pick them up off the floor.

    The vacuum cleaner maneuvers very well and it is relatively a quiet machine. The debris cup has to be emptied more often than the upright model. The vacuum cleaner has nice attachments and they do not store on the unit. I recommend this vacuum cleaner.

    At first, I was a bit skeptical about this vacuum. I honestly thought Dyson was just selling their brand name. The wife convinced me (lol) to buy this and it works like a charm. I’ve had no issues and compared to other models, this is well worth your money.

    I love canister vacuums. I would have given this a 5 star but it is heavy. However it moves pretty much with ease except if you have to carry it up steps to vacuum them. The cord is not as long as I expected.

    The comparable vacuum prior to our purchase was quite a bit more sturdy; built to last. The new purchase has great suction, but the buttons for power and cord retrieval are very small and difficult for my husband to operate.

    Excellent product! Bought to handle the heavier duty work the stick Dyson leaves wanting. Delivers as advertised! Kind of gross to see all the “stuff” vacuuming left behind that this unit pulls out

    This thing… the head on it loves to pull things in and then kick it out the backside. It sucks.. not in the good way. It constantly tips over, gets stuck on its own cord, the cord is not nearly long enough. Its just a crap machine and im upset at myself spending the money on it. Do better, Dyson. Or just learn from me and buy a Kirby instead. This thing is nothing but agitation.

      Posted .

      Hi there, this is Kelly with Dyson. Thank you for sharing your feedback here. We're disheartened to know that the Big Ball Canister doesn't seem to be working out well for you. This vacuum offers over 250 air watts of suction power to tackle any size mess in your home, andthe 21' long cord ensures you have enough length to easily move about the room during a cleaning session. With regard to the unit tipping over in use, that shouldn't occur, as this vacuum does have self-righting technology, so if it does tip, it'll pull itself right back up into the proper position. We're sorry you had a bad experience, and we will strive to do better. If you still have any questions or concerns that we can help to address, feel free to get in touch with us at [email protected].

      Best wishes,
      Kelly

    I am pleased at how easy this vacuum is to manuver around and under furniture. Also the power it has and the suction changes automatically with the carpet to bare floor and in-between. It's worth the investment.

    This is the best vacuum ever. I had an older model that I used for more than ten years. When I had to get a new one I was searching for a similar style. It helps access any place and underneath the furniture

    This is a great vacuum. Has incredible suction and very easy to maneuver. Compared to upright vacuums I’d use the Ball any day. The cleaning power it generates is incredible. I strongly recommend this vacuum

    Really good for carpets. Hard floors are good too but the attachment for hard would not attach for us. Other than that, we chose this one over the Shark Apex. Way more versatile and lightweight compared to the Dyson uprights.
