My (Shark Navigator) upright vacuum died on me after almost 7 years of use so I had to buy another vacuum right away. Tried several robot vacuums along the way but they just didn't clean as well as an upright for me. I have four long haired cats and they leave tuffs of hair all over the house and deeply imbedded fur in carpets that they love to sleep on. I looked at all of the upright vacuums that Sam's Club had. I saw the vacuum that I had but kept feeling drawn to this Dyson. My hesitation was on the price. When I looked it up online for their reviews, I discovered that it was on sale for $110 off . (There wasn't a sale sign up. I believe that they could sell more if they put the sign up.) Seeing this vacuum on sale made me very happy and I put it in my cart. I got it home and put it together using YouTube videos for help as the included directions were confusing and not very helpful. I plugged it in and went back over the rugs and floors that my other vacuum had done before dying. This picked up so much more! If you have pets, especially long haired ones, this is the vacuum to buy. It picks up so much more and my floors and carpets look so much cleaner. I comparison shopped this vacuum and Sam's Club has the best price on it, even without a sale. I highly recommend this Dyson Ball Animal 3+.

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.!

I am hard on vacuum cleaners due to dogs and five parrots in my home. My last three vacuum cleaners (Hoover Pet and Shark Pet) did not last more than two and three years. I am hoping this vacuum will last much longer. The Dyson has already proved to be much better suction and overall performance on my hardwood, tile and rug covered floors. My review if five stars based on performance compared to the other brands I used. Time will tell if it outlasts the life of the others too.

Love this vacuum. I didn’t realize how much my old vacuum didn’t [pick up. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants to really clean you carpets and floors.

We have had our old Dyson vacuum for over 8 years and decided to get a new one. We bought this one and honestly it’s great. I can tell it’s an upgrade from the older version. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because with some rugs it’s really hard to vacuum. Seems like the suction on it is really strong or something because it takes some muscle to vacuum. It’s only certain rugs and I’m hoping that over time it won’t be as difficult to vacuum with.

I have a Dyson which is smaller and I gifted that to my daughter. I have had it for years and the quality was excellent. This one was on sale and even though it was bigger in size I thought it would work great for my needs but it was just too bulky and difficult to maneuver. I also put it on the highest pile setting and my carpet is not a high pile but it was so difficult to push so I chose to return it.

We had a Dyson ball vacuum for about 13 years ago and we loved it but it had a crack in the tubing as was getting old anyway so we bought this Dyson animal because the price was great. We feel it was a step down from the old one. It feels cheaper made/not as sturdy and there seems to be no control of the handle release mechanism when using the vacuum and when you’re done and try to put it back in the upright position.

So I had this version of the Dyson vacuum nearly 8 years ago. This one is made so cheaply in comparison. It’s clunky to try and use the hose with attachments and the actual tube feels cheap and thin. It’s still the best for suction power but the materials and built are far inferior to the original model I had.

Difficult to push around and use. It was purchased to replace another Dyson ball vacuum cleaner which we have had for about 10 years. We moved it to the basement. We may have to replace the new one due to the difficulty of pushing it around.

Would not recommend this vacuum. I reached out to Dyson, I was surprised at the quality of this vacuum. I have short pile carpet and tile floors and after several passes-this vacuum would not pick up minor debris.
