  • Powerful suction
I am happy with its suction power! Its by far one of the best I've used. The vacuum gives you a very good ab workout, as it is very heavy. I just received it today unpacked putting it together was a bit tricky, the main base suction did not want to stay on. I'm unsure how long it will stay, the core of the machine fell solid and heavy but all the attachments you have to add feel like very cheap plastic. Today was my first day using it and I've uploaded a picture of a carpet I just vacuumed 2 days ago with a vacuum I purchased at a local supermarket less than a year ago. I feel like overall it will be a good solid machine I just need to give it time I am very impressed by the five-year parts and labor warranty. So far Dyson has been a great product - function wise. I have the V8 and I have recently purchased the hair tools. ... show more

  • Cleans like none other, truly doesn't tangle, well worth the investment.
TLDR — Powerful, effective, and actually gets the job done in a house with two large dogs that shed year-round. Lots of useful attachments along with upholstery hose. Does not tangle, easy to assemble. Large canister capacity. Quieter than you'd think. Heavier than cordless. PURCHASED MODEL: Dyson Ball Animal 3 Extra MY HOME 2 large dogs that shed year round: Golden Retriever and Dalmatian. Golden leaves hair balls all around the house, with hairs that embed into rugs that tangle and collect in all the nooks and crannies of a vacuum easily. Dalmatian's short hairs are like spikes, and will stick to all cloth furniture. WHY I BOUGHT THIS VACUUM I have used many vacuums in the past, including ORECK commercial vacuums, cordless Dyson V8, Roomba, and most recently a Shark Pet Premium (IZ363HT) cordless. These vacuums were either too weak, gets tangled easily with hair and fur, or collect dirt and grime buildup easily. I was tired of never feeling that the house was really clean after using these vacuums, and their performance continued to diminish over time because of these issues. I finally decided that it was time to invest in something that would get the job done and would last me over a long period of time. ASSEMBLY The assembly process for this vacuum was so extremely easy. There are only 3 main pieces to assemble: (1) The floor roller head to the bottom of the machine, (2) the main vacuum handle that you'll use to drive the machine, and (3) the telescoping wand into the upholstery hose. I was up and running within minutes of receiving the vacuum. Components snap into each other without the need for any tools, which also means that it is easy to disassemble components for any needed cleaning or maintenance. The included washable filters are easy to access, which is a huge plus with animals as they need to be washed regularly to prevent that doggy/animal smell that old, under-maintained vacuums have. SUCTION POWER & NOISE Your mind will be blown by how powerful and effective this vacuum is. The Dyson Ball Animal has the most powerful suction amongst all of Dyson's current products, and its suction power is comparable to my 6 horsepower shop vac, which is great for cleaning up big messes but lacks the floor roller attachment for rugs. As a test, I vacuumed my main living room rug with my Shark cordless pet vac, and then ran over it again with the Dyson Ball Animal 3 Extra — and it still picked up a full canister of pet hair and dust. That said, the suction is almost too powerful. Be careful with fragile or old rugs, because it can potentially damage it if you don't have it on the right setting. When in doubt, keep the floor roller on the furthest setting for the highest-pile rugs and disable the roller, which you can do with a push of a button. For such a powerful vacuum, the noise level is surprisingly manageable compared to many other, less powerful machines. The only time it gets super loud is when using the "Tangle-Free Turbine Tool" attachment with the spinning detangling rollers, as the rollers make extra noise. HAIR DETANGLING The Dyson Ball Animal 3 Extra has a large, adjustable floor roller (for different surface types) with a built-in comb that keeps hair from tangling, and IT WORKS. Between all the hair left by people and pets around the house, this vacuum stayed completely tangle-free; I have not once had to clean off the roller in nearly a full month of use. CORD OPERATION, WEIGHT & MANEUVERABILITY After using cordless for so long, I thought switching back to a corded vacuum would be a pain. This was not the case, thanks to the Dyson's extra long 32.8ft cord. The vacuum itself is on the heavier side if you are used to cordless vacs, coming in at 17.3lbs. The design of This isn't really an issue especially with its 13ft upholstery hose. If you need to get into tight spaces with the hose, you can easily detach the telescopic handle and use the vacuum attachments directly with the hose. An additional benefit of having this long, built-in hose is that it makes it easy to keep the vacuum itself clean. The hose automatically activates when the vacuum is fully upright. The roller ball makes it easy to drive the vacuum, and unlike older generations of Dyson's Ball vacuums, the turning is tighter and more controlled, preventing the machine from unwanted turning when you are driving it forward. When lifting the vacuum, you may be tempted to use the main handle on top, but you'll have a much easier time if you use the handle on the canister towards the middle of the unit. CANISTER EMPTYING VS BAGGED There is a compromise here—bagged vacuums are obviously easier and cleaner to empty compared to canisters, but it also means that you cannot operate the vacuum if you run out of bags or if the bag is beyond capacity. Emptying canister vacuums can release some dust, but it also means that you are never going to be stuck without a bag, and there is no ongoing cost to operate the machine. To minimize the spread of dust when emptying the canister, I like to empty into a tall, lined trash bin which allows me to lower the canister more deeply into the bin before opening the hatch. CONS This is one of the most effective and reliable vacuums out there, if you use it properly and maintain it regularly like you should with any machinery. That said, a few things that could be improved are: - At this price point, I would have expected better storage options for all the included attachments. The Ball Animal 3 Extra comes with 4 attachments, but only one tool holder that goes onto the vacuum. This means you have to find a place to organize and store your attachments separate from the vacuum, potentially making them less accessible during your cleaning job. - There are tiny tiny rollers at the bottom of the floor roller attachment, which will have a tendency to pick up hair that gets tangled. This is going to be the case with just about any vacuum out there, but all it takes is checking it after every other use to pull out the few hairs that might have gotten caught. Easy. - Like I mentioned above, the suction can be too powerful, which means you'll need a little extra muscle power sometimes when using it on upholstery to move the hose along, and you'll want to be careful around old or fragile rugs - The upholstery hose wants to stay condensed, so using it when the vacuum is new may take a bit of extra muscle CONCLUSION The Dyson Ball Animal 3 Extra is undoubtedly one of the best performing vacuums I have used for housework. It's the right purchase if you have the budget and prefer to invest in long-term equipment vs. spending half the price for something you'll have to replace in a few years, which will end up being more costly to you. If you are in the market for a new vacuum that cleans effectively, this is it! ... show more

  • Easier than Kirby. I am not young. 👍
I have a Kirby. Yes it’s great although heavy. I decided to try Dyson. It does work great. The turning is easy. Not totally happy with the hose, it’s very stiff, the furniture tool is not good for dog hair on furniture. It is a bit heavy and the information said it was. It is less bulky than the Kirby. Over all I like the machine. ... show more

  • Excellent work on pet hair. Wish it wasn’t so ugly.
I had an original yellow Dyson for over 20 years, and when it died in February, I quickly realized my cordless vacuum isn’t working effectively enough to be my only vacuum. This model is all plastic—where the wand was aluminum on older models. It sucks remarkably well, but I wish the cord hooks swiveled and felt more substantial, and I wish the wand and the head release weren’t so awkward. It doesn’t pick up things like cereal or cat kibble or larger chunks of stuff. It just pushes them around. That’s annoying, but the hair-sucking ability is off the charts. It picks up cat litter & dust, cat hair, toast crumbs, sawdust, and dust bunnies. With all of that, it’s an A+. Clicking the unit back into the locked, upright position is tricky and takes an extra effort. Cleans laminate floors very nicely, but I wish there was more give/ease of turn in the ball. It doesn’t seem to have the range of motion that warrants a ball. I’m looking forward to not cleaning my hair out of the roller. All in all, it’s 400.00 well spent. Nothing else picks up hair like a Dyson. I swore by my rebuilt Kirby for years—but Dyson is better at cat hair. Colorway is heinous. Gunmetal grey/brown with bright copper, purple, and red accents. It looks like it was made of scraps. ... show more

  • Underwhelming left me wanting
I purchased the Dyson Ball Animal 3 Extra Upright Vacuum Cleaner here is my honest review. As a first-time Dyson owner, I had high expectations for this vacuum given its price point and the reputation of the brand. Unfortunately, it left me wanting more in several areas. First, the vacuum felt a bit flimsy during assembly, with the plastic feeling thin and weak. While it arrived well-packed despite the damaged box, it didn’t give the impression of being a premium product. Assembly was mostly straightforward, except for the hose wand attachment, which initially didn’t make much sense but worked once I figured it out. The suction power is good, and the brush roller is unique—it does a decent job of detangling pet hair, which is important since I have four medium- to long-haired pets. The combination tool works well and offers decent reach. However, the overall maneuverability is just average, and it struggles to reach under furniture like beds. Emptying the dirt bin is the most frustrating part of this vacuum. Dust and debris dump out in a messy plume, which creates a hassle every time I clean it. As someone who’s had a competitor’s vacuum for over a decade, the Dyson’s accessories and features feel lackluster in comparison. I expected much more given the brand’s reputation. While the vacuum has some strong points, such as good suction and a decent pet hair brush roller, it didn’t meet my expectations, especially for the price. I won’t be recommending this vacuum to others. Update: 09/2025 I've been using this vaccume for a few months now, I downgraded from 2 stars to a 1 star rating. This well known, big name vaccume has to be the worst vaccume I have ever used. The cost for what this thing is just rediculce! I have pets I specifically purchased this vaccume because we have pets. I only vaccume the bedrooms as they are the only rooms that are carpeted. The brushes on the brush roller have started melting, you have to disassemble the machine to clean it thoroughly. I have never experienced anything like this with a vacuum. ... show more

  • Worth it
So happy with this purchase! This is Dyson #4 for us, through the years. About 2 years ago, I changed my mind and bought a version of Miele based on recommendations by many websites and Reddit users. Turns out, not a great vac for me. We have mixed flooring with a carpet that has a deep pattern, a dog that sheds, and I had no idea how much I would hate a pull behind canister. In the end, I was carrying the canister rather than pulling behind, not to mention I had to change plug sites at least 3-4 times during a vacuum session for a reasonably sized home without stairs. It was a “pet version” and I didn’t find it great for actual pick -up/suction of pet hair or dirt. 👎 Again, MY OPINION. In the past we’ve had Dyson, and this Dyson proves similar but… better? It’s not what I’d call quiet, but definitely more refined sound than previous versions. There is resistance in the push-pull when using, which I related to increased suction power and with a shedding animal, it’s what I was looking for in a vacuum. Oh! And I can vacuum my whole house without unplugging or emptying canister. It was easy to put together and Amazon had the best price when I searched. Highly recommend. ... show more

  • My Best Purchase of the Year!
This vacuum is worth every penny! I was honestly skeptical because of the price, but it has exceeded every expectation. We have two kids, a German Shepherd, an American Akita, and two cats, so keeping our house clean is no easy task. Since getting this vacuum, our floors look as clean as the day we moved in. The grooming attachment has been an absolute game-changer—it makes managing all that pet hair so much easier. As for the noise, it’s no louder than a typical vacuum, and my newborn sleeps right through it without any issues. If you’re on the fence about buying it, don’t be. It’s one of the best purchases I’ve made, and I would 100% recommend it! ... show more

  • This thing really sucks!! And that’s a good thing.
Had the vacuum for four months. The main thing that I love about this vacuum is its versatility. The variety of settings, tools, the hose extension and brushed or brushless options make it usable for nearly any in-home cleaning task. This vacuum is heavier than some but the suction power is such that it’s noticeably harder to pull across the carpet when the brushes are turned on. As a man of average strength, I have no trouble with the added weight. On hardwood with the brushes turned off and on the lowest height setting nothing I can see gets away from it. I pull a half canister of dirt and hair out of the carpets in my house every week. I almost look forward to it, just knowing how much dirt ISN’T in my house anymore thanks to this thing. The dog grooming tool is worth its weight in gold. My golden retriever fills the canister completely every third day when he gets brushed with it and that’s two bushels (that’s right, bushels not pecks) of dog hair a week NOT on the floor and furniture. What the dog grooming tool doesn’t get, the vacuum itself does. I’ve had known dog allergy sufferers come to my house and have no reaction thanks to this thing. The attachments and hose extension make vacuuming furniture easy. I can vacuum our drapes and blinds with the bristle attachment making dusting super easy. I’ve seen other reviews that talk about the flimsy plastic tool holder, but I haven’t seen any about the holder breaking, and mine is still hanging in there after four months. The only test that remains is to see just how long this thing will last before it breaks. I hope that this review is helpful to those looking to buy a new vacuum. It’s a tough decision to make for the price, but I’ve found this one to be worth it. ... show more
