This vacuum works very well. You have to adjust the level on carpet bc it is hard to push if not because it sucks so hard. I have been very impressed!

Nice machine and easy to use. The only draw-back is it is so powerful it is harder to push. Our original Animal has lasted over 20 years and still works.

It has great suction but pushes way too hard on low pile rugs and carpet. You need strong arms and hands to push this machine. I tried it and had to return it.

I was excited to finally get a dyson. For the first year it worked great. 2nd year suction started diminishing, and then motor died. For this kind of money I feel like I was robbed. I had a dirt devil for years that never gave me any trouble for $200 less

I've had a Bissell vacuum for 3.5yrs that started to sound weird and my husband didn't qant to keep replacing the belt anymore so we bought this Dyson because it was on sale. Unfortunately, it's no match for our blue heeler mutt that sheds like crazy. I've had to take out my old vacuum, despite its dying sound, to get rid of the dog hair on my rug as the Dyson did NOT work at all, despite using all the attachments and settings. I would've returned but customer service told me I'd need to return it to the store where it was picked up, which is over an hour away, so I guess I'm stuck with this.

I love Dyson Vacs. I've had my animal ball 2 for 12 years; purchased it in 2013 and it's still going. I figured I purchase a newer Dyson vac to get a jump on things incase my old one finally goes out. Found it at Sam's for a great price. I prefer the upright instead of the stick vacs.

Hard to push

I like this vacuum for carpet and hardwoods. It has been doing a great job keeping up with dog hair. BUT it is almost impossible to vacuum stairs. It needs to be held at the perfect angle so the suction doesn’t get cut off if the hose kinks. It’s just a pain in the butt! So I took a star off for that.

This vacuum is so strong and powerful. It has so much suction that I can’t use it in my house on the floors . I have wood floors with rugs and it’s so strong it won’t push on the rugs. Most vacuums have an adjustment for maximum to minimum suction but this one doesn’t have it. I can’t push it. It works great using the wand/hose for corners and ceilings.

Bought on 1/4/2025, have the DC41 thats getting old, and like the previous reviews, it's not as good as the dc41. Our house is wall to wall carpeting except bathrooms, and it is hard to push on carpet, and couple inches shorter. Not happy with it and looking to return before the 30 days are up.
