Style: Ball Animal 2
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.

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.

I wanted to address the issues I read about before my purchase that caused me to balk from buying. Ultimately, I decided to roll the dice and I am glad I did. •Too much suction? Well I have what I would consider medium pile carpet and tile throughout my house and I would state that this vacuum is extremely easy to maneuver pushing and pulling along. (5 stars) •Cannot turn? I am disagreeing with this as well. I’ve owned canister and uprights; this is the easiest to turn around a chair leg or corner. My grip and wrists are weak, with a slight arm adjustment this baby turns. At first it was too sensitive for me and I was vacuuming like I was DUI or VUI. Now I love it and wouldn’t want to go back to outdated upright design. (5 stars) •Directions difficult? Possibly I guess? But I had the extremely simple picture directions and ‘worded’ directions. I found neither difficult to comprehend. (5 stars) •Cannot vacuum under couches and chairs? True for couch! But…I’ve never had an upright that I could vacuum under a couch as my couches are not on stilts. Dinning room chairs are a breeze but of course my recliner is not on stilts, so I am unable to vacuum under them as well. (5 stars) •Heavy? no! One person said if you are young it will be ok. Well I don’t know if the reviewer considers 54 young, but my old Kenmore is a tank and was heavy, this Dyson is a dream and light weight. I live in a two story and no longer have difficulty up and down the stairs as it is very easy to grip the handle and go. (5 stars) •Dust everywhere? Well I have never owned a bagless vacuum before this Dyson. I’m not saying it is common sense, but I could clearly see what is in the tube before I opened her up! So I took it outside to empty it directly into the trash. My first rainy day I used a tall kitchen garbage bag, held it securely around the canister base with one hand and pushed the convenient button and tada I had it emptied without the mess. (So for a BAGLESS vacuum 5 stars) • Difficult to empty? The button is placed in the most convenient position, due to my two dogs hair and my very long hair I do have to put forth a ‘shake’ to loosen the mess but I have never had to ‘dig’ out the stuff. (even with the shake 5 stars) •Cleaning difficult? I looked up Youtube cleaning steps and I love that this baby comes almost completely apart with snaps and no tools! I take it outside once a week and do a deep clean that I couldn’t do with any other vacuum I have owned. I do wish there was a design out there that could figure out my long hair getting wrapped in the brush. (5 stars) •Auxiliary Tube and attachment issues? Let us say if you are a big user of attachments this is NOT your vacuum! When one reviewer stated awkward and unpleasant, they were being kind…it is worse than that. I consider the tube unusable! There is no give and the vacuum cannot stay upright if you use the tube at all, it will pull over. (1 star) •Don’t bother with throw rugs? Well, I have never owned a vacuum that used electricity, that could clean a throw rug and was worth using on any other floor. I think throw rug cleaners are called carpet or rug beaters not vacuums. My area rug I do have to start in the middle and work my way out only as it will pull up the edges. (5 stars) •Upright lock doesn’t ‘click’? Mine does (5 stars) •Not sturdy plastic? I’ve had mine a year without issues. I did immediately feel that the plastic seemed cheap. This I can not rate until the vacuum is 10 years old or more like my plastic Kenmore that lasted that long or my heavy metal Kirby that lasted over 20 years. (not rated but I do agree it feels cheap) •Head slipping off? Knock on wood this hasn’t occurred. (5 star so far) •Walking with vacuum to another room an issue. Yup the unit is quick to ‘drop’ the head to say lets vacuum. This I have come to live with. (4 stars) •Unplugging during use? My plug stays SNUGGLY put. I would have my wall units checked by an electrician if mine just started falling out. (5 stars) •Extension cord…too long? UM no. I can vacuum quite a large area without needing to unplug the cord. (5 stars) •Extension cord wrapping not auto recoiling? Only my antique canister had this and it broke. I don’t want auto recoiling, so this isn’t an issue I know how to coil a cord. (5 stars) •Extension cord holder cheap? Yup and it is almost too small for the very long cord. (3 stars) •Some Tools: have to store elsewhere? Yup (4 stars) Overall, I love this vacuum and glad I decided to roll the dice. (4.5 stars)

So I’ll start by saying I didn’t buy it brand new. I got it used-like new for 270 after tax and it was in great shape. This was the second one I bought. The first one was used good condition with cosmetic damage and it was 313 after tax. The handle was broken on it and I watched for a better deal to come along and I return the broken one got a newer not broken one for less money. The price on this new and used changed daily. But as far as the sweeper goes it’s amazing. I had the shark rotator pro before and the suction on the dyson is awesome. It pulls so much dust and debri from deep out of the carpet. I have hard wood floors also and it won’t pick up bigger items like the shark used to but I can’t complain to much because the suction is pretty awesome so I’m ok with lifting the head up to get the bigger stuff the kids drop on the floor. The tools work well too my only complaint about that is the suction is so strong it makes using the hose harder u have to hold the hose out with one hand and use ur other hand for the tools and also that I have to pull out some of the hair from the tank it doesn’t all come out every time like my shark did. All in all I’m very happy we bought the used like new condition through amazon wearhouse and saved a ton of money vs buying a brand new one and I was still able to register the warranty. Would not have spent 500 bucks on this. It’s a great sweeper but not a 500 dollar great sweeper. I loved my shark when we first got it, but with our kids and our golden retriever it just wasn’t cutting it after four years just lost to much suction even after cleaning it out. Hoping the dyson does well by us and lasts! I’d rate it five stars if it wasn’t for the price tag on a new one. Great sweeper

This is our third Dyson and it is fantastic. We started with a DC17 and when it stopped working for a while we purchased a DC28. We replaced the DC17's canister which got it working again and it has been our most used vacuum for a long time. Just recently it became very noisy and lost some of its suction so we moved it down to our finished basement to use on the smooth carpet down there The Animal 2 is the replacement and we use it in the main two levels of our house. The suction is fantastic and it does a great job picking up cat hair and everything else. Our carpet is very plush and pushing the DC28 on it was a whole body workout. This new Animal 2 has fantastic suction and yet is easy to push. I love the lower profile, making it easier to maneuver around furniture legs. I have had no problem using it in area rugs either, just be careful about fringes which is true for any vacuum. One added bonus is the Animal weighs less than our DC17 so it is easier to carry up / down our half-fleight of stairs Tool storage on the vacuum is similar to previous models as is the cord. The stair tool and wand tool clamp to the side of the vacuum. The turbine tool is to bulky to attach, which is fine with me. The turbine tool is a huge improvement with this model. We had a similar tool with one of our other Dyson's, but it failed miserably from the start with fur getting tangled in it. We have used the new version a few times and so far it has not had any similar issue. If it doesn't release on its own I simply place my foot on the front. If you try to quickly lock in place while you are vacuuming it may not lock. I think that is more related to the swivel and it may be that it just isn't lined up. Take a second to make sure it is positioned correctly and it locks correctly As for our DC28, it is still going strong. We keep it upstairs on our 4th level to use in our bedrooms and hall. It developed a strange thing where it has to warm up for a couple of minutes or it will lose suction but as long as you let it run for a couple of minutes first it will work fine

I have 2 jumbo breed dogs. Hair everywhere. I have worn out 5 vacuums in 5 years. This Dyson was a little heavier than I thought but is easier to maneuver. It took about 15 minutes to get used to the swivel and after that is was great. The cord is really long. I can vacuum more than 1/2 the house without having to change outlets. The suction is great. I was surprised at how it lifted the nap of the older sections of carpet and was a little embarrassed at how much more dirt it took out compared to my older vacuum. I really like that the dirt canister is completely enclosed. I lift it out, take it outside to the garbage can and hit a button. The dirt/hair falls out of the bottom. No more dust in my face or all over the house. No bags to buy or filters to clean.The extension hose is a little stiff out of the box but has become easier to use with time. Adore the upholstery head with its 2 swirling brushes. Picks up the hair, even off of velvet. I did have trouble with the smaller throw rugs as the suction is strong enough to catch the ends. But I usually shake them out anyway. The long hair can build up on the rollers but it is simple to remove. If you do not remove it, the brushes can not pick up as much hair. Goes from carpet to bare floor without issue. So far, this vacuum is superior to any other I have purchased. It was well worth the money spent. I have a friend who has had her Dyson for 15 years with only one trip to the repair shop. I call that value.

After my Dyson DC07 died, I decided to replace it with the Ball Animal 2. Awkward / Messy Auxiliary Tube Design I was immediately disappointed to see that Dyson had kept the same design for the attachment extension that was used in the DC07, wherein the extension tube is actually the top part of the handle, and sits *inside* the auxiliary tube when not in use. I always found this to be awkward, but also unsanitary, because dust and grime tends to build-up inside the auxiliary tube, which then gets exposed to the *outside* of the extension. And, cleaning the outside of the extension tube seems like an effort in futility if you don't also clean the entire auxiliary tube. In the grand scheme of things, this was a minor disappointment. Spring Tension on Auxiliary Tube I'm a heavy user of attachments, and found that the tension on the spring inside the auxiliary tube was far too strong, causing the tube to try to pull away from me (or worse, pull the vacuum towards me). Because of the point at which the aux tube attaches to the vacuum body, using attachments would sometimes even cause the vacuum to tip over when I was only a few feet away from it. I found that the only way to mitigate this behavior was to squat, with the vacuum body behind me, and run the aux tube through my legs so as to prevent the vacuum from sliding around or tipping over as I used it. Needless to say, this was very awkward and unpleasant. The aux cable needs to have a much more lenient tension. No Haptic Feedback to Indicate Upright Lock The "ball" design that Dyson has used on this model requires a set of two wheels move into position when the vacuum is put into its upright position, but swing away when in use so that the ball can rotate side-to-side. However, there is virtually no haptic feedback (a click, snap, etc) to indicate to the user, when trying to put the vacuum in its upright position, that they had successfully engaged the locking mechanism that keeps the body from tipping over. Unfortunately, this lock engages at a point *after* the wheels have swung into place, so they cannot be used as an indication that you can safely let go of the unit. I found that the only way to guarantee the unit was actually engaged in the upright position was to apply a moderate amount of pressure to the handle in the forward direction *after* it felt like it was already straight-up, and this would cause the locking mechanism to engage. But again, this mechanism seems to provide zero feedback to the user that its actually engaged. Construction Not As Robust As Expected Dyson is known for being a pioneer in hard plastics, creating incredibly strong products with plastics that other manufacturers had avoided for decades because they were considered too flimsy. Most of the Dyson products I have owned and used over the years, including my DC07, lived up to this standard; despite being made primarily of plastic, they were incredibly sturdy and durable. The Ball Animal 2, however, felt less rigid than usual for a Dyson product. This was especially noticeable when *turning* the vacuum; to turn the Ball models, the user must apply a torquing force on the upright part of the body, which then causes the ball at the bottom to rotate. This is a fine design, but the plastics used on the handle were far too malleable and would cause the handle of the vacuum to temporarily warp about 10-15 degrees off center when applying the necessary pressure to turn the vacuum. This made the entire product feel less responsive, but more importantly, poorly engineered. After about 4 months with this vacuum, I have decided I'm going to have to replace it (again) with something else, and unfortunately I don't think I'll be going back to Dyson for a third time.

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.
