Dyson Ball Animal Total Clean Upright Vacuum, Blue/Blue

This is the greatest vacuum, very powerful, I tried other vacuum and it does not compared to Dyson!

So much better than my older Dyson and the tool attachments are amazing. I even purchased more from Dyson. I can’t believe how great this thing works compared to an older model I had. It is a little heavier but works so well!

I love, love, love my Dyson. This is my second one i have purchased. Before these, I have had all the high-end name vacuums, and none compare to the ease, lightweight, and suction power of the Dyson. I live in an apartment, and I honestly thought it was going to pull up the carpet! Lol. And with a cat not having to constantly stop and clean off the roller is an extra bonus. Dyson are an exceptional product with an affordable price for a beautiful vacuum that will last for years. I do, and would recommend this Dyson, or any one of them to everyone. It does have a long cord so I can reach wherever I need to go; and being with the ball maneuvering is a breeze.

"The only thing this vacuum picks up is my blood pressure." I bought this vacuum hoping it would live up to its name and price tag. Between a full-time career and raising kids, my schedule is packed; I needed a tool to make life easier. Instead, this has been a source of physical pain and constant frustration. ❌ Ergonomic Nightmare Despite the "Ball" design, this machine is incredibly heavy and cumbersome. I have small hands and wrists, and navigating this vacuum is a workout I didn't ask for. It does not pivot smoothly; it resists every turn. It’s so difficult to maneuver that I can't even ask my kids to help with their rooms—it's simply too much for them to handle. ❌ Zero Suction Control & Poor Height Adjustment We have a mix of hardwood and carpet, and the transition is a disaster: Suction Issues: There is no way to adjust the suction. On carpet, you have to practically "yank" the vacuum across the floor just to move it. Design Flaws: The front of the vacuum sits too high. It won’t fit under kitchen counter along the trim, yet it’s too low to pick up something as small as a pebble. You have to stop, pull out the hose, or awkwardly flatten the handle to the floor just to get basic debris. Button Placement: The power button and the roller brush button are right next to each other. You end up hitting the wrong one constantly. ❌ The "Hose from Hell" The hose design is baffling. There is a blue plastic pipe inside that you have to manually remove every time you want to clean the stairs. If you leave it in, the hose kinks, the suction dies, and the entire vacuum tips over because it’s so top-heavy. ❌ High-Maintenance Features The Cord: While long, it doesn't retract. In a 3,000sq ft house, you’ll spend half your time manually winding a massive cord. Cheap Build: For the price, the plastic feels flimsy and "budget," which is insulting given the cost. The Intake Vent: This is the most bizarre design choice—the vent is right by the handle. If you are wearing a blouse or bracelets, the vacuum tries to eat your clothes and jewelry while you work. Final Verdict If you value your wrists and your sanity, stay away. This is a heavy, poorly balanced, and over-engineered headache. I strongly suggest testing one in person before you commit—don't let the "premium" branding fool you like it did me.

This vacuum puts my old Kirby to shame, and it doesn't use expensive bags. The only problem I have with it is that it is so strong that it's pulling up the carpet at the seam. IOW's this machine is, again, incredible.
