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.

never had a vacuum like or since my 1st DYSON VACUUM. Can't be beat,I'M still using my 1st one purchased over 10 tears ago I believe and have another i purchsed because the price was great,haven't had to use number 2 yet,then I seen this one at SAM'S CLUB for such a wonderful price and deal I couldn't resist it. Now the absolutely proud owner of 3,still using the 1st one and going strong. EASIEST maintenance EVER,ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY DYSON BALL ANIMAL!

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.

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.

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.

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.

My Dyson Ball Multi Floor 2 vacuum stopped working properly so I purchased the new Animal 3. The new vacuum was fine on the tile floor however almost impossible to push on the carpeting. It also would not lock in the upright position when moving it from room to room. Dyson sent me an easy push head that was supposed to fix both problems. It was a LITTLE better in locking in the upright position and still difficult to push on carpeting. Dyson said I could take it to a "Dyson" store (only 2 in the state of Florida) or pack it up and ship to the one in Ft. Lauderdale. They did provide a shipping label. I was notified of the arrival of the vacuum at Dyson and also when they returned it. I believe they had it for about 30 minutes. The machine was returned to me quickly however it was no different than before. I called Dyson and there is nothing else they can do. They did offer me a 20% discount on another vacuum. Needless to say, I am no longer a Dyson fan. I returned the vacuum.

The handle is not stable. It feels like it’s going to break the round cylinder next to the wheels as you push it forward and pull it back it squeaks it doesn’t feel like a solid vacuum. The plastic parts are not sturdy.
