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.

The suction is incredible when it wants to work. I got a couple swipes in and the bottom roller stopped spinning. Had to shut the vacuum off wait a minute turn it back on and it would spin for a couple swipes and then stop again. Also was missing a couple attachment pieces which seems to be a common issue in other reviews. I returned this item.

I do not recommend buying the Dyson vacuum. I had to go buy a cheap vacuum from Walmart that has everything included. Dyson doesn’t even give you a holster for the vacuum parts. You have to buy everything separate. You figure spending $200 and a vacuum they give you a holster but not Dyson. You have to buy it separately and on top of it they’re out of stock for the holster. I had to buy it at Amazon but I ended up buying a cheaper vacuum from Walmart that has everything and works better. The Dyson no good for the money stay away from Dyson they’re scammers.

I bought this vacuum for my daughter as she has a dog and it’s worked great getting up more dirt and hair from her rug! My other daughter has the same vacuum!

This vacuum really sucks up the dirt and dog hair very well ( on our older carpet). We had to turn off the brush part because it over does it on newer carpet. All in all it works good!

Love this Vacuum, second time I purchased this same vacuum, the first one is still running and it's 18 years old. I just needed another one for down stairs.

I returned the item. Poorly made heavy and the attachment is hard to use. Great suction but it smelled like it was burning and I only use the vacuum twice

You can't go wrong with a Dyson. The only issue with Dyson is there is no written instructions on how to fix minor issues. You have to go on YouTube and hope they have the answer. I don't like when a company depends on the customers to do their job for them.

we had the original Dyson animal. we kept it alive until we were no longer able to find replacement parts. zdare say wechad it for 15' 20 years. the ball feature on this machinevid an added plus. it doesn't look as " sturdy" as our other machine. will see how it stands up but it may outlive us too!

I wish the vacuum had more attachments for those purchasing it for the first time. I had attachments from my other vacuum so for me that was not an issue. The biggest issue I have is that the vacuum is pretty heavy for me. I can manage it, but it’s not as light as the other Dyson animal that I had. The suction power is fantastic. I no longer have pets so I didn’t need an animal, but the price was right and my other vacuum was an animal. And I knew it would be a good product because I owned another Dyson before. I probably should’ve read other reviews, but I purchased it without even thinking about it because I love my other Dyson so much. It is bigger than my original Dyson animal, but I had a golden retriever and let me tell you that my animal vacuum picked up that hair phenomenally. Anyone who has pet should always buy Dyson animal.
