Dyson Ball Animal Total Clean Upright Vacuum

So much better than my older Dyson and the tool attachments are amazing. I even purchased more from Dyson. I can’t believe how great this thing works compared to an older model I had. It is a little heavier but works so well!

I love, love, love my Dyson. This is my second one i have purchased. Before these, I have had all the high-end name vacuums, and none compare to the ease, lightweight, and suction power of the Dyson. I live in an apartment, and I honestly thought it was going to pull up the carpet! Lol. And with a cat not having to constantly stop and clean off the roller is an extra bonus. Dyson are an exceptional product with an affordable price for a beautiful vacuum that will last for years. I do, and would recommend this Dyson, or any one of them to everyone. It does have a long cord so I can reach wherever I need to go; and being with the ball maneuvering is a breeze.

"The only thing this vacuum picks up is my blood pressure." I bought this vacuum hoping it would live up to its name and price tag. Between a full-time career and raising kids, my schedule is packed; I needed a tool to make life easier. Instead, this has been a source of physical pain and constant frustration. ❌ Ergonomic Nightmare Despite the "Ball" design, this machine is incredibly heavy and cumbersome. I have small hands and wrists, and navigating this vacuum is a workout I didn't ask for. It does not pivot smoothly; it resists every turn. It’s so difficult to maneuver that I can't even ask my kids to help with their rooms—it's simply too much for them to handle. ❌ Zero Suction Control & Poor Height Adjustment We have a mix of hardwood and carpet, and the transition is a disaster: Suction Issues: There is no way to adjust the suction. On carpet, you have to practically "yank" the vacuum across the floor just to move it. Design Flaws: The front of the vacuum sits too high. It won’t fit under kitchen counter along the trim, yet it’s too low to pick up something as small as a pebble. You have to stop, pull out the hose, or awkwardly flatten the handle to the floor just to get basic debris. Button Placement: The power button and the roller brush button are right next to each other. You end up hitting the wrong one constantly. ❌ The "Hose from Hell" The hose design is baffling. There is a blue plastic pipe inside that you have to manually remove every time you want to clean the stairs. If you leave it in, the hose kinks, the suction dies, and the entire vacuum tips over because it’s so top-heavy. ❌ High-Maintenance Features The Cord: While long, it doesn't retract. In a 3,000sq ft house, you’ll spend half your time manually winding a massive cord. Cheap Build: For the price, the plastic feels flimsy and "budget," which is insulting given the cost. The Intake Vent: This is the most bizarre design choice—the vent is right by the handle. If you are wearing a blouse or bracelets, the vacuum tries to eat your clothes and jewelry while you work. Final Verdict If you value your wrists and your sanity, stay away. This is a heavy, poorly balanced, and over-engineered headache. I strongly suggest testing one in person before you commit—don't let the "premium" branding fool you like it did me.

For the past few years, I've been struggling with my Shark. Even though it was advertised for pets, it constantly clogged and could barely keep up with my one dog. Finally, it broke, and I was relieved because it gave me the excuse to buy this. Oh my... I can't even put into words how much better this Dyson is to my old Shark. Turning it on for the first time, I could just FEEL it's power and I immediately knew I made a good purchase. Pros * Easy to set up and get started * Tons of tools for specific use cases. I've cleaned some areas that haven't been touched in years. * Incredibly powerful suction. This beast will get EVERYTHING up. * Great capacity. The collector holds a lot more than my previous vacuum, so I'm stopping less to empty it. This is great, because it's extra power definitely picks up a lot more hair and dirt, so that extra space is welcome. * Very easy to maneuver. While the ball does make it a bit harder to get deep under couches and stuff, it glides across the floor and turns like a dream. The extra attachments are super easy to swap out, so this is a worthwhile tradeoff. I know these things are expensive. I held off getting one for years because I just didn't see how it would be worth it. But after suffering through a few years with a slightly cheaper but vastly inferior product, I can confidently say this is absolutely worth the money.

It sucks! That's a good thing!! So far its done a great job picking up dog hair. Downfal- it doesn't have a light on the head, I love light to show where I need to focus on. Honestly, had I realized this I would not have purchased. However, it does seem to be a good vacuum.

This vacuum puts my old Kirby to shame, and it doesn't use expensive bags. The only problem I have with it is that it is so strong that it's pulling up the carpet at the seam. IOW's this machine is, again, incredible.

This thing is heavy!!! It does a good job of vaccumming but it is not convenient to use. It also doesn't hold a lot as I seem to be emptying it frequently. Putting it together was a pain and the instructions were not easy to put together. This is my first dyson vaccumm and I am not sure I will buy another.

Needed a better vac after getting our big dog. I read reviews and decided to take a chance and spend the $$$. I put it together and tried it on a dark area rug that the dog loves, but was covered in his hair. Our old vac would clean it ok, but I'd then have to use a carpet rake. So, I tried the new Dyson. OMG. It looks like a new rug. My wife was in shock. We couldn't believe the difference. And, then we cleaned the canister. I couldn't believe how much dust and dirt it collected we didn't even realize was there. This vacuum is beyond amazing. Well worth the money.

This is the greatest vacuum, very powerful, I tried other vacuum and it does not compared to Dyson!
