Dyson Ball Animal Upright Vacuum - Corded

Works great

Easy to put together. Powerful and efficient product.

This is the most wonderful vacuum I have ever used. When I first moved out of my parent's house, I was given a hand-me-down Hoover that had seen better days. When I decided to buy a sweeper I got a Shark Rotator XL and it was almost as bad as my ancient Hoover. My grandpa bought me the Dyson for an engagement gift, and I can't say enough good things about it. The amount of dirt and hair that it picked up out of our rugs and carpet that the other sweeper left behind was scary. My carpet and rugs actually feel cleaner and softer after I'm done running the Dyson. It works great on hard wood floors too, which is primarily what we have in the house. I have two cats and a large dog and this sweeper picks up hair easily, even the hair that gathers right along the edge of the wall (the Shark did not, you had to use the attachment hose). The Dyson isn't super quiet, but it's not really a negative for me. I've definitely used noisier vacuums but I have used quieter ones as well. The people at Dyson made the vacuum smaller and more streamlined by storing the attachment hose in the handle, which is nice because it's not in your way, but it's not super easy to get out and put back in; however that wouldn't deter me from buying the Dyson, I think I just need more time to get used to it. If the price scares you, just know that there is a reason this vacuum is so expensive! It's worth it! My grandma still has the very first Dyson they ever released and my mom still has her second generation. Both still work as well as the day they got them.

We have a medium hair German Shepherd and two long hair cats, and had a 5 year old Shark that was just not cutting it anymore. We went back and forth with should we get another Shark since we did like our old one, or spend the extra money and get what most reviews were saying to get. Well I am so glad we went with the Dyson. I’ve never had a vacuum with such strong suction. The stairs extension thing is awesome, our stairs have never looked so good. Our carpets look revived and have nice carpet lines again. The hard floor feature is awesome, I used to have to use the extension hose on the Shark and that was the only way I could vacuum the hardwood (because it’s hard floor feature wasn’t strong enough suction), but the Dyson suction is so strong it works perfectly upright. I’m confident it is picking up all if not most animal hair in the house. Any little, minor complaint I would have about it (like the stiffness of the extension hose) is not even worth talking about because at the end of the day this vacuum has strong suction, and gets the job done better than any vacuum I’ve ever had or used. Also, I have a friend who has a cleaning business and she agrees that the best vacuum of them all is Dyson, and owns one herself. I would say the price difference between the Shark animal vacuum and the Dyson one is worth splurging on the Dyson. It’s my new best friend.

Excellent product. Picks up all dog hairs. Nicely designed. Good suction. Value for money. Bit on heavy side but that is overcome by easy movement
