  • Best vacuum for pet hair and heavy dirt!
Style: Ball Animal 3 Extra
It's hard to say enough about this fantastic vacuum. We live on a couple of acres and have always had a lot of dirt, dust, and dog hair in our home. This vacuum performs better than any other we've tried. The suction power is awesome, it's easy to use, and the extra-long cord makes moving around a breeze. I have areas with both carpet and hard floors, and the vacuum transitions between them seamlessly. We also have deep-groove runner mats to catch dirt at the doors; most vacuums struggle to get dirt out of those crevices, but this wonderful Dyson Ball Animal 3 gets it done without having to go over it again and again. This is actually my second Dyson—I’m giving my older one to our son because he has seen how great they are. The only issue I have is that because of the height of the "ball design," the vacuum doesn't fit under low furniture. I still have to use a mop or broom for those tight spots, but it saves me so much time everywhere else that I still absolutely love it. ... show more

  • Cleans like none other, truly doesn't tangle, well worth the investment.
Style: Ball Animal 3 Extra
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

  • This thing really sucks!! And that’s a good thing.
Style: Ball Animal 3 Extra
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

  • Thorough yet bulky
Style: Ball Animal 3 Extra
Purchased the Dyson Ball Animal 3 Extra 03/09/ and received it 03/12 (today). I’ve used it once in one room. I just recently purchased my home and was needing to deep clean, meaning extensive vacuuming/shampooing. There’s not telling how often/thorough the previous owners were with owning multiple cats and a dog. The first picture shows a comparison of the carpet when it is (right side) and isn’t (left side) vacuumed using this product. The second picture of the reservoir shows just how much was picked up from the little corner of the room after pushing forward/back once each, which yielded well. The first picture of the blinds is a comparison between those that have (right)/havent (left) been vacuumed using one of the included tools. The second of the blinds is after both have been cleaned. The 2nd to last photo is after the entire room has been vacuumed. The last photo shows all the gunk that had been collected after going over the entirety of the carpet 3-4 times going horizontally and diagonally. The assembly of the vacuum itself was simplistic yet odd when it comes to attaching the handle to the hose. The included video instructions were straight forward and easy to follow. The suction of the primary base & hose is absolutely great. Hair/gunk seems to filter through to the reservoir with ease and didn’t need additional steps to unclog despite being a pretty demanding job. It performed very well on my thick carpet and picked up debris fairly easily. I didn’t use it on hardwood quite yet but can imagine it won’t have any issue in that area considering how well it did on thick carpet. There are a few things that are for sure a negative when using this particular product but isn’t necessarily a deal breaker to myself but very well may be for others. Do what you will with the following additional information. I am a 6’3 270ib 25 year old man. This vacuum seems unnecessarily heavy and does take a tad bit more effort to initially push than most I’ve used in the past. It’s maneuverability is great, it’s just you can definitely feel a bit of resistance and may tire those of a smaller stature if vacuuming for an extensive period. Another issue I take with the vacuum is the handle/wand. When holding the wand, once you turn the vacuum on, it feels like the suction is so strong on the hose that you are playing tug of war with it. Again for those of a smaller stature, holding the vacuum with one hand and using the wand in the other may prove to be a challenge especially if running along the corners of the ceiling. Your arm will get tired from 1.) playing tug of war 2.) holding a decently weighted hose/tool. Another issue I found which is less substantial is that when you try to roll the vacuum while it’s in it’s stationary 90• position, it’s as if the vacuum is too heavy to maintain the stationary position and base plops down as if you’re about to vacuum. Another thing I found pretty annoying is that when you try to put it into its stationary 90• position you have to lean the vacuuming an excessive amount forward in order for it to reach its locking point to stay upright on its own. I very much like how thorough of a job this vacuum did but feel its main issue is the weight which may lead to other smaller issue. Some personal preferences and couple technical. ... show more

  • Underwhelming left me wanting
Style: Ball Animal 3 Extra
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

  • Positives outweigh the negatives
Style: Ball Animal 3 Extra
I’ve had several Dyson cordless stick vacs and liked them. But my most recent, cheap upright vac just fell apart, it wasn’t up to my 2 Aussies and 3 cats, I guess. Some of my Aussie rescue friends recommended this Dyson Animal, so why not? I’m pretty self-sufficient, but didn’t find the assembly instructions to be the greatest. But I did it. The wand is supposed to slide inside the hose! The tool attachment falls off whenever the canister is removed, poor design. This vac is heavy. But it moves easily enough if you get the suction mode set properly. It has a ton of suck. But what looks like a large canister is mostly filters, so I have to empty it pretty often. Nothing new there, I have lots of hair and dirt. It has a really long cord, which I like bc I can plug it into one central outlet and do the entire floor. My biggest shedding dog doesn’t mind being vacuumed and the pet hair attachment actually works! But I brush him first outside with his regular rake first and finish him up with the Dyson. Voila! This vac doesn’t stay “clicked” into its upright mode for just moving it around, not sure what I am doing wrong. Makes it harder to push when getting it out or putting it away. Shouldn’t be that hard, seems to me. Another design flaw, I fear. But something like that and the tool attachments should have been resolved years ago, seems to me, this design has been around for years. ... show more

  • Big Name, Small Rewards
Style: Ball Animal 3 Extra
I had high hopes for this vacuum. Our household consists of two hairy Labradors, three babies/toddlers, and two adults. I literally vacuum everyday (or even twice a day) to keep up with the accumulation of dirt, dust, and hair. What disappoints me of this vacuum, comparing it to the shark I had before, is that first when vacuuming, the stand to angled position is tricky and can sometimes get “stuck”. That is, the way it engages from the bottom suction and then to tube (switching the connector at its base) unfortunately, from this motion, the standing to angled position gets awkward. Some examples like: it takes a few times to align, if any one small tiny random thing gets stuck, you are without a vacuum until it gets fixed. Next would be the floor base itself, the hair will gather at its side if it isn’t directly centered. This is frustrating and, as mentioned, with dog hair the static sticks to the plastic sides so it requires me to manually remove with little success. Next, would be the lack of light. I can’t believe for how expensive this machine is that it doesn’t have one. The handheld Dyson have them and even our shark before had it. This is a must feature, and I’m sorry I didn’t realize it didn’t have it when we purchased. Now, I’ll provide some positives. It has a very good and strong suction/power. It’s certainly a Dyson signature. The filters are easy to clean and easy to remove. Also, I really do love the pet grooming tool. It is such a great and cool gadget that really works to get the dogs’ hair. Our dogs aren’t sensitive to loud noises, but for others you may want to consider this if you have a fur baby that doesn’t enjoy the loud noise. Finally, it is definitely light weight to move around the house. ... show more
