Great suction and not too heavy, but pulling the vacuum backwards is a bit hard due to the amount of suction! However I would prefer that over lower suction and lass of a cleaned carpets.!

Very powerful suction. Cleans fur and dust in carpet very good.

We’ve had Dyson vacuum cleaners for quite some time and they are great products! The head is a little more compact than what I had before, but it fits better into some of my smaller spaces. The suction is outstanding!

Very strong suction, does a great job!

Excellent product

This vacuum is a beast! I come from having one of the battery powered thin ones that was already needing a replacement. I wanted the one with the most suction power since I have pets and decided to get this wired one. This animal 3 is a bit heavier than the wireless ones but it is so much more powerful. This is great if you have pets that shed and carpeted floors.

I have a Corgi and he sheds a LOT. We recently moved to a new place that has a lot more carpet. My area rug that I thought was pretty hair free turned a different color. This thing sucked the dust out of the carpet from the apartment downstairs. Another review mentioned that this was hard to push/pull. In that case, as the instruction manual states, adjust the red slider on the front by the brushroll all the way to the left. This made it significantly better. I got it on sale for $279 which I feel is a fair price. It's a great vacuum but I wouldn't buy this if it was the regular price of $389.

The machine is a little heavy

Bought this vacuum to replace my previous Dyson I had for about 15 years. This one has great suction ... possibly too much. Having a hard time pushing in on my area rugs.

Too much vacuum destroys carpet. Company doesn’t care
