If I had posted a review when I first received the Dyson it may have been all negative. I was struggling with the differences it had to my previous kenmore canister vacuum, which my one daughter who currently has a cordless dyson called "prehistoric". I'm 58 and have always used a canister vacuum but it was time to replace my canister and I'm getting older so I thought an upright one piece would be easier to deal with than pulling around the canister. I do have two dogs so I figured I should get the animal version. After having it a week I can say I am happy with my purchase. It does have unbelievable suction. My other daughter, who has a previous animal model, said it is definitely more improved than her previous model. The attachments are easier to use and it has a larger width brush bar and more suction as well. The attachments I find a little troublesome compared to my canister option but i dont use that option all the time so I figure I'll just deal with that at the time for the option of having.more suction available. My canister was easier with those jobs but the vacuum didn't suck as well so im willing to adjust. It is a little heavier than my previous vacuum, but i got used to it after a few days and now i dont know what i was struggling with. Like everything it has its pluses and minuses and you just gotta give it time. Its definitely easier to vacuum than previously, I just had to adjust to the differences. I've vacuumed every day since ive had it. No more bags to deal with. I just dump the dirt in the garbage and Im good to go. I did read the reviews and people did complain about it sucking up rugs. I assumed they must have had really plush carpet. Such is not the case here so I didn't anticipate a problem. It works just fine on my 3 carpeted rooms, no problem there. Although I do have several mats down that I can't vacuum over cause the dyson doesn't have an adjustment for less suction. My previous kenmore canister when I would do those floor mats 2 in kitchen, 1 near front door, and also in bathroom etc I would just put the power head on a higher pile selection and it had a vent on the wand that I could also reduce suction so the mat wouldn't get caught. This Dyson does not have that, but I have since learned to not vacuum over the mats completely. I vacuum around the outsides of them with the vacuum brush half off them so it doesn't get a chance to "suck them up". So if that doesnt make sense, I just cant put the whole floor brush part on the mat as the suction is too strong. I could shake them out as someone preciously stated also and if i need to do them with the beater brush option i hold the handle to the vacuum and pick it up, that is a heavier option granted. It is a pain in the neck not having my previous option with my canister but I figure my canister wasn't really cleaning them very well anyway, it was just an illusion and I thought it was cleaning them. So in conclusion alot of mats or runners down you may have a problem but overall I'm happy with my purchase. Although if dyson does ever have an adjustment to the suction that would be an improvement but the dirt this gets is unbelievable, it definitely gets alot more than my canister vacuum so overall I'm happy with my purchase.

After reading so many websites and customer reviews, I decided to order BOTH the Shark TruePet rotator and the Dyson Animal ball 2. I can tell you right now, in TLDR fashion that this thing is much better than anything Shark can provide. However, after being so discouraged by all the so called "influester reviewers" and random little 4 star no comment reviews, I needed to try them both for myself to see what truly is better. I've done many days of vacuuming with dyson first, and then following with the Shark and then vice versa. I can tell you without question, this test is stupid. Under each trial, the second vacuum still picked up more debris than the first one. I even did one day where i did Dyson/Shark/Dyson and the 2nd time I used the dyson, after the Shark, the vacuum still produced dirt in the bin. So just in case you watch those dumb unscientific YouTube videos, rest assured that the test is pointless. This vacuum has a 270aW motor, which is exactly the same power as the Shark Rotator True Pet. Any kind of comparisons you can find right now compare Sharks' best, to Dyson's later models. The Dyson Cinetic is one that Shark at times compares itself to, is a 180aW motor (90aW weaker if you're not paying attention). The Dyson was purchased from Dyson's website for a few reasons: 1.) If you own already own a Dyson, they will give you a 20% discount if you register your vacuum on their website 2.) Full refund and free return shipping if you don't like it 3.) Free tools - I got 3 free tools (which was advertised on their website) however in addition to those I got a 4th free tool, a free carrying case for all the tools, and $100 off thanks to being a Dyson customer. Arriving in the mail, the vacuum comes in a very easy to assemble state. All the material is put together well and it certainly gives you the impression that you got good material for the money. (the Shark, not so much). Even the little details like the wall adapter plug is nice and premium, especially when you compare it to the Shark. Its not a big thing, but it definitely shows that you paid for the more premium price. Vacuuming the floors in my house has been great. While I think the Shark actually did a TINY bit better picking up small dust in the carpet, the Dyson absolutely strikes back with the hard flooring. You can literally FEEL the Dyson suck down to the floor when you try to break apart the seal. The Shark in comparison was no where near this powerful on the hardwood, and even required a second pass in some areas to get everything up. The Dyson comes with an automatically adjusting head, that will move up and down so you have no switches or buttons like the Shark. The shark you need to change it from rug, to carpet, to hard flooring. The Dyson will self adjust for all of this, all you need to do is turn off the brushes if you need do for floors. Moving this up and down the stairs is nice and easy, and vacuuming the stairs is also. I was amazed at how much more dog hair the Dyson picked up over the Shark, it was immediately noticeable the second I emptied the bin. You can vacuum the carpeted flooring with the vacuuming rotating attachment, or the vacuum itself. The extendable wand also easily surpasses the Shark in suction strength, as apparent by many trials. The included rotating attachment also performs better than the Shark variant. The shark variant is cheaper in build quality, bulkier, and not as efficient at picking up debris. The shark version has a rotating piece that works like the main vacuum bristles, where as the Dyson has two spinning heads that travel in circles, and not like the main vacuum bristles. Things I dont like: The Shark has a nicer dust collector. The trap door works better in that you press the button and everything drops out. With the Dyson, you almost have to wiggle to get it all out, and some of the dirt gets stuck on the hinge. The wand that the Dyson has is a pain in the butt to put back in. Its easy to pull it out, but the method in which you put it back involves too much time and lining up to get it to go in all the way correctly. This is sub-par even compared to my DC25 that I replace with this. The kick stand went from the foot pedal style on my old DC25 to this weird no pedal push down method. It works ok, however sometimes when I just want to move the vacuum on the little rear wheels, it will pop down as if i'm going to use it to vacuum. Again, its sub-par compared to the DC25. All in all, I believe this a top tier product. The Quality, performance, customer support and the perks like returning custom discounts is an unbeatable package. Customer support was painless and this Dyson comes with a 5 year warranty. Dyson sells premium vacuums for a premium price, but you get what you pay for. Dyson may not be as cheap as a Shark, but then again you dont see Dyson taking up Sunday afternoon infomercial slots on antenna TV.

In 2006, I purchased our first Dyson Animal. It was impressive. We had a black lab that shed enormous amounts of hair in our tiny house and the Dyson took care of the hair for many years. In fact, for 12 years it worked flawlessly as a powerful and reliable vacuum. To be quite honest, we were lax with filter cleaning and maintenance, we just plugged it in, used it, and emptied the dust canister when it was full. The only times I ever had to give it special attention was when our long hairs or string wrapped around the brushed head. In November 2017, we discussed getting a newer model vacuum. Ours was 12 years old, banged up from years of abuse and probably suffering from a decade + of neglect. For whatever reason we decided that maybe our next vacuum didn't need to be a Dyson. We no longer had a shedding dog and don't wear shoes in our house so we went out and bought a $99.00 Black Friday sale price Hoover Wind Tunnel Pro Pet. It became evident after about 30 seconds that this was nothing like the Dyson what we had been accustomed to for the last 12 years. The filter clogged with almost every use. The cord was much shorter, it was louder, it didn't self adjust to the depth of your carpeting, and the brush head did not seem balanced when it rotated and made the whole vacuum cleaner feel as though it was going to come apart. Lesson learned. We ordered the Dyson Ball Animal 2 after only using the Hoover a handful of times. When the Dyson arrived it was only about a 4-5 step process to put it together. PROS: I liked the fact that the brush head is visible through clear plastic. (If you were to get string or long hair wrapped around the brush head you would know right away.) Another design change from the old Dyson that I love is there is a button right next to the power button that allows you to turn the brush head on/off for bare floors. More than anything though when I turned on the vacuum it was abundantly clear that it had the power and suction that I had come to appreciate from a Dyson product! CONS: I am not sure if these are really complaints or just the fact that this newer model is different that my older model Dyson but I found the hose for using the attachments to be a little awkward to stow back into its proper place and since you maneuver this vacuum on a ball, I had a little trouble with locking it in the upright position. I found myself checking to make sure it was holding the upright position before walking away. Again, I imagine after time I will have adjusted to using this vacuum and these little issues might resolve themselves. This vacuum is a winner and if it is anything like our last Dyson, I expect to be using it a decade from now. As for that old Dyson, I am going to tear it apart and give it a little much needed love and attention. I bet that once it's all cleaned up it runs like new. I can't imagine anyone being disappointed with a Dyson and if you have one now, don't make the mistake of trying another brand. Stick with Dyson.

(Original review: April 2, 2017) Dyson advertises this vacuum as having the most suction of any of their vacuums, and they weren't kidding. I had previously owned a DC25 Animal and after a few years decided that it was getting a bit worn down and wanted to get a new one. For context, I have a Labrador Retriever and pet hair around the house/daily vacuuming is just a way of life. So after looking through a bunch of different reviews I settled on the Dyson Ball Animal 2. Overall I'm really happy with this vacuum so far (I've only had it for a few days) and glad I made the purchase. Similar to my previous Dyson, it's an expensive investment up front but totally worth it. I'll try and focus on highlighting the good and bad of this vacuum to help you make your purchase decision a bit easier. Size/Weight: It's a bit larger than the old DC25 Animal. The brush head is a few inches longer and about an inch or two wider. Overall it's not a huge difference and I find that it helps pick up more dirt. The ball is larger as well, probably to accommodate a bigger motor. The dust bin is larger, but it's mainly due to a larger filter unit (non-HEPA)-- the dust bin itself is about the same size. The size of the larger ball makes it more difficult to get under any furniture you might have, but it's a decent trade off due to the larger brush head size. The power cord is long and comes with a better little clip for keeping it attached to the cord once you wrap it all up. Suction power: 10/10. It's a bit crazy to say, but this vacuum almost has TOO much suction power. You actually need to put some muscle into using this thing because it has so much suction power. i put this thing without the brush heads on one of my rugs and it literally picked up the entire corner of the rug when I picked up the vacuum with both hands. When you run the vacuum over carpet with the brush running, it moves, but you still need to push/pull with some effort because the vacuum really does have incredible suction. As a result, I've found that a LOT of dirt gets picked up. It's really incredible. Just one pass over our carpets filled up the dust bin with lots of pet hair and dirt. Attachments: This vacuum comes with three attachments-- the tangle-free brush head, small furniture attachment, and extended hose attachment. All three work fine but I will say that the placement on the new vacuum is not as great as the old one. The vacuum comes with this odd plastic holder that sits on the side of the dust bin. It doesn't feel very secure, but I haven't had any issues with it so far. The not so good: This vacuum does NOT come with the old tried-and-true foot switch to put the vacuum out of the upright storage mode and into vacuuming position. I have no idea why Dyson decided to do this but it was a horrible design decision and the main reason why I didn't give this a 5-star review. Getting the vacuum out of the straight-up storage mode is easy enough, but putting it back into that mode is tricky and not very reliable. It usually takes me at least 2 tries to get it back into position and I'm not happy that Dyson made this change. The old foot-operated locking mechanism was super easy (the thing was bright red so you couldn't miss it) and the vacuum would always lock into place if you wanted it there. Every time i want to roll the vacuum back into my closet it slips out of upright mode and back into vacuum mode, which I absolutely cannot stand. I find that it requires me to pick up the vacuum and carry it back to my closet instead of just rolling it back. Dyson engineers--- if you're reading this please bring back the old foot mechanism!

Just received the Dyson Ball Animal 2 to upgrade from my 11 year old Dyson DC 33. My Dc 33 is still going strong after more than 11 years of use but I’m now relegating it to the basement TV room and spare bedroom so I don’t have to carry a vacuum up and down the stairs now. Anyway, did a ton of research before committing to this purchase looking at everything from commercial rated vacs to expensive (Miele) vacs, Kirby vacs and etc... Price was holding me back on purchasing this Dyson and when this sale came up I pulled the pin. I primarily went with the Dyson because I really like my old Dyson and it’s been extremely reliable. I’m not in a position to say anything bad about competitor vacs so don’t look for me to compare as I didn’t purchase any other one (I did have a Shark Navigator Pro in my shopping cart, so almost...) So I got this baby today, unpacked it and clicked it all together in about 15 minutes... Yea, even though I’m a guy, I do actually read the directions first. Fired it up and started in on the living room carpet and boy does this vac suck! No, I mean it, the suction is unbelievable! Literally Amazing! I can’t believe what it did to pull up the knap and fluff the carpet back up! It seriously looks great. Went over the living room twice and even though I vac’d yesterday with the Dc 33 the Dc 65, or Ball Animal 2 now, clearly pulled up a ton of dust, dirt and dog hair. I failed to mention, I have 2 dogs, a 45lb Pit bull and a 125lb American Bulldog. So vacuuming is pretty much a daily event. So from the carpet to my hardwood floors I went. I typically use a cordless Shark hardwood floor vac, but my new Dyson rolled nice, got into spaces the DC 33 didn’t and the suction was unbelievable. One thing though, cannot do rugs with this bad boy, it sucks them right up and you have to turn off the vac to get the rugs back down. The dogs are white and my floors are very dark wood, the Dyson did the job! After reading reviews I was concerned about some of the comments about it being hard to move the vacuum over carpet, I had no such problem, ease of maneuverability was very good. So what didn’t I like? Just a couple of minor things at this point, among them; no led lights on the front. I know it seems like a nit picky thing, but I have gotten use to the LEDs on my Shark cordless illuminating all of the hair and dust on the floor and then showing the floor clean after I vac’d it. It’s not a game changer by any means, but for the cash they’re asking for this, throw some LEDs on the front of it. As far as using on stairs and with its attachments, this Dyson is just like my DC 33 in that the extension hose is so tight that the minute you get a few feet away from the vac and have to pull on the extension hose, the hose will pull the vac along with it. So i’ll be skipping this Dyson for stairs and will continue to use my Shark cordless for that task. And last, it was loud on the hardwood floors. Not motor noise or wheels going over the wood and it’s joints, that is actually quite a bit quieter than my DC 33. What was loud was the air rushing into the vac. I mean, you have to think the drying end of running your car through the car wash. Is that a bad thing, not necessarily, but the sound of the air rushing into the cleaner on the hardwood took me by surprise and it was much louder than I would have thought. I’ll deal with that though in return for the air movement and suction it provides! Cheers and happy vacuuming!

I shopped for months before buying this vacuum. Upon arrival, assembly was simple. Everything just snaps into place and the instructions with big pictures make it simple. We have a two story house, three kids, and a large dog. We vacuum several times a week. We have a top of the line Shark vacuum and I bought this Dyson with the intention of leaving one vacuum upstairs and one down stairs. Upon first usage, I was amazed by how powerful the Dyson is. On bare hardwood floors, it actually sucked dirt out of tiny cracks between floor boards; dirt that even mopping didn't get clean. The cleaning head sort of seals to the floor so all that high horse power suction is directed exactly on the cleaning area. It's works! After the vacuum did such a great job on the hardwood floors down stairs, I decided to try it up stairs where there is carpet in the bed rooms. The day prior I had vacuumed all the carpets with the Shark. The first thing I noticed when I used this on carpet is that it's so powerful you an actually feel it through your feet as you walk behind the vacuum. And holy cow, I was astounded by the amount of dirt the Dyson picked up! As mentioned, I'd just vacuumed with the Shark; I couldn't believe how much dirt the Dyson got that the Shark left behind! And it was the really nasty gray powdery dirt that is just gross and filthy. My family had been living with that filth under our feet, so gross! Beyond all of this, I want to describe how clean everything felt after using the Dyson, it's difficult to articulate, and I suspect it's due to the HEPA, but you can literally sense how clean and fresh a room is after using the Dyson. My 11 year old daughter came into my bedroom after I vacuumed and even she noted, "wow dad, you did a really good job cleaning"....all I'd done was vacuum with the Dyson. I've read people complain about mobility of the Dyson. I don't get it? They say it's heavy. To me is feels like every other vacuum we've ever owned (and we've gone through a number of them with all these kids and pets). The handle on the canister is placed fairly low, which made it easy for me to take it up/down stairs. You simply carry it like you would a piece of luggage. The handle on our Shark is higher which makes navigating stairs a two handed affair. As far as mobility, the ball makes is surprisingly maneuverable. It rolls around nimbly in any direction you send it. You can not vacuum all the way under beds with the Dyson. However, I do not expect a big powerhouse vacuum to be small enough to do that, so I don't knock the product for that. Overall, I'm extremely happy with this vacuum and would highly recommend it to anyone who wants serious cleaning power and performance.

What a horrible piece of poorly designed junk. Where to begin? I’ll start with the 2 positive things, 1 of which also causes tons of headaches. PROS: 1. lots of suction, like suck the dirt from under your house, through the floorboards and through the carpet kind of suction. This is also a huge problem. 2. Roller brush attachment works well for vacuuming furniture, but the hose is horrible. That’s it, there’s nothing else good about this vacuum. CONS: 1. way too much suction, no volume of air. There is so much suction that on carpet it’s hard to move, like really hard on some carpet. Like you’re going to be sweaty when you finish vacuuming hard to move. Forget about even trying to vacuum a door mat or door rug. The vacuum will suck it up inside and jam it firmly in the rollers, even if you try to stand on the rug while you vacuum. 2. Won’t suck up dog food, cereal, small bits of gravel etc. this vacuum uses a self adjusting height selector. It rides so low to the ground you won’t be able to suck up anything beside dust and dog hair if it’s on a hard surface. It will just push them around. It needs to ride low to the ground because the vacuum itself doesn’t move hardly any air volume. It’s just all suction. So if you’ve got kids, or pets that may leave bits of cereal or dog food on the ground forget about trying to vacuum them up with this. Even if you pick up the vacuum and set it on them it doesn’t work. It usually just sends them launching across the room. You’ll either be pre sweeping or walking around with a handful of bits you pick up off the ground as you vacuum. 3. The hose is horrible. It’s way too short, and the vacuum has so much suction that if you stick the nozzle of it to something and accidentally get to close it will suction down, this causes the hose to shrink up and will propel the entire vacuum at you. This is no small feat as the vacuum itself is extremely heavy (but that’s an entirely separate complaint). Keep in mind you’ll need to put the nozzle super close to clean because it moves so little volume of air, but don’t put it too close or you may get a concussion or bruise when the vacuum clobbers you because the nozzle suctioned down. 4. The cord… it’s a nice quality cord that for some moronic reason is attached to the BOTTOM of the vacuum. This means every time you move the vacuum you must bend down and pick it up off the ground and hold it in your hand so you don’t run it over. Other vacuums I’ve owned have always had the cord come from the top of the handle, preventing this problem. Oh, also the cord is wrapped nicely around 2 hooks, the upper one being attached to the hose nozzle…. So… if you just want to use the hose to clean up a small mess you must unwind all 25 to 30 or so feet of cord before you’re able to remove the hose from the vacuum. 5. The wand stores inside the hose and the whole assembly fits into the handle… at least in theory. I finally ended up taking my wand out and filing down all the sharp edges because I couldn’t get it to fit back into where it was designed to go. Now it goes, but still requires jiggling. 6. Heat… this vacuum is like running a 500 watt heater while it’s on. It seriously pumps hot air out the exhaust side while it’s running. I hate vacuuming in the summer with it because it literally raises the temperature inside our home a couple degrees by the time I’m done with the entire house. It’s unbelievable how hot the air coming from this vacuum is. 7. Latching mechanism for the tilt handle. It’s horrible. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve thought I had this vacuum returned to the upright position only to have it fall over crashing onto the ground as I walked away. 8. Noise, it’s stupid loud. 9. Weight, it’s stupid heavy. You’ll get a workout if you need to vacuum stairs with this thing. I really was excited to get this vacuum. What a huge disappointment the first time I used it. I seriously hate vacuuming the house now and have been threatening to sell this thing used and buying something else. I should have returned it while I still could but that seemed like such a hassle. I should have though, lesson learned. Save yourself the regret and buy something else. At a bare minimum find one of these vacuums and try it out before you buy, I’m sure you’ll hate it too.

Buy. This. NOW. Quit wasting your time researching the reviews for this and other vacuums. Just push the button. DO IT! :) This is the first product review I've felt compelled to write in over 15 years of buying way too much stuff from Amazon., so here's the backstory. We have a lab mix and a springer spaniel, so there is a substantial amount of dog hair in our house. We also have a 23-month old and a new one due in June. As much as we tried to vacuum the dog hair with a mid-high grade Hoover, an Oreck, and a Roomba, there were still dog hairs (roughly 2-3 per square inch) stuck in the carpet, which is a twist/frieze that probably doesn't help things. So I researched, because I couldn't stand the thought of another kid crawling around in it, and our clothes being covered with hair every time we played with our daughter. I was kind of turned off by the whole idea of a Dyson: over priced, pretentious, form-over-function, over hyped junk, all sold with those glib commercials suggesting that if I didn't have one already, I was pathetically unhip. But let's be real, mostly it was about the money. $500 for a vacuum?? No frickin way. Then, I found one that was refurbished, and had a 20% off sale that day. So $500 turned into $248. Done, but still very skeptical. It arrived yesterday. It was brand new. Other than the sticker on the box, I would have had no way of knowing it was refurbished. Set it up (easy) and vacuumed over carpet that the Roomba hit earlier in the day, and the Hoover 2 days before. UNBELIEVABLE!!!! Truly, I am still this morning in disbelief as to how much hair and dirt the Dyson pulled out of our carpet - disbelief coupled with my wife's nearly almost vomit-inducing disgust at what we had been walking, rolling, crawling and playing on for two years. The picture below shows what was pulled out of only about a 10x10 area. The dog hair was down to about 2-3 per square foot (a 144x improvement for the math folks). My wife - who was even more skeptical than I was about this purchase - also said the carpet felt almost brand new under her feet. Get one ASAP - find a used/refurbished one, you'll be happier than you can imagine!!
