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.!

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+.

Awesome for heavy shedding dog homes!

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!

Wow this really picks up the lint and animal hair

Very strong suction, does a great job!

The machine is a little heavy

We have always respected the Dyson brand and previously praised both its products and customer service, having owned several of their vacuums and other products over the years. However, our recent experience has been disappointing. We own 2 vacuums and followed all care instructions, yet the wand joint (a glued connection) came apart unexpectedly, and the hose has buildup that is extremely difficult to clean. We contacted customer service regarding a relatively small ~$20 part, but after weeks of back-and-forth emails, no practical resolution was offered other than repeated requests for inspection. Overall, the support process felt slow and unhelpful, and the issue remained unresolved. This experience has significantly changed our expectations of the brand’s reliability and after-sales support. We hope this helps other customers consider not only the product reputation, but also the long-term support experience before making a purchase.

Too much vacuum destroys carpet. Company doesn’t care
