I Hate This Vacuum
I’m so disappointed with my first Dyson vacuum. It’s heavy, clumsy, and every time I use it I get into a fight with it. I don’t like this vacuum at all. I have a German Sheppherd, and need to vacuum my couch almost daily, but I dread using the vacuum because the hose for the attachment is so stiff that the vacuum itself constantly falls and I’ve developing shoulder issues from using it. I also am extremely upset that on the first month of using it, a quarter got stuck on the attachment extension and I can’t get it out and haven’t been able to use it properly which I cannot believe a quarter is just big enough that it went in, but I can’t get it out. The suction is also too strong for my rugs, but I do like how strong it is on the bare floors. The ball will not allow you to vacuum under couch, bed or any furniture. I have to get down on my hands and knees. I love cleaning, but the overall experience is very unpleasant and so I have to get rid of this vacuum and get something else.

Too much suction
Works great on hardwoods. Terrible on carpets. Sucks so hard you can’t move the vacuum if it’s anything other than a super flat carpet. Should be able to regulate the carpet height and suction power of the vacuum but you can’t. Super expensive and ultimately worthless.

poor performance, not durable
I am a Dyson loyal customer and have many Dyson Vacuum cleaners for multiple locations. I wish I would write a good review but unfortunately this one is a big disappointment. I have cats and dogs and use vacuum daily. This Ball Animal 2 is not designed to withstand daily cleaning, non stop clogging, brush had been replaced three times and continues malfunctioning, accessories brakes attachment is falling off each time, the tube is not durable, cheaply made and won't last long. The Dyson Ball Animal is not designed with quality and durability. Too many problems and flaws, unfortunately. Very disappointing! Perhaps it's just good for sterile appartment without animals and little dust. I wish designers would give it proper attention to design true quality durable vacuum for animal lovers.

Not for carpet ???!!
I liked my 1st Dyson animal so well I purchased a 2nd one when I needed to. Worked great on the original carpet we had in the house. When we replaced that carpet w/something that has slightly higher pile it failed miserably. You have to push/pull against the suction. I was told repeatedly when contacting for assistance that the vacuum is not meant for carpet! It's too powerful! Then why do you advertise: Powerful suction across carpets and hard floors with Ball™ technology for improved maneuverability Upright vacuum cleaner for all surfaces powerful suction with Ball technology Trying to use this now is painful - literally. My shoulders and back scream at me when I do. This is an expensive product and should work as advertised or be replaced w/something that does. Dyson should correct their advertising to reflect what they are going to tell you later when it doesn't work properly.

Suction is too powerful
The dyson works too well that it makes it so hard to use. I have had mine for about 2 months and the suction is so powerful that it sticks to the floor and is hard to push and pull. Also, because of it sticking so close to the floor, it snowplows cat litter instead of sucking up the cat litter. The vacuum works great on carpets, yet for the floors its a struggle. My cat leaves a lot of litter and i have to lift up the vacuum or get the hose to be sure i get all of the litter. Yet it works amazing on fur!

LOVE THIS VACUUM!!
I recently purchased the Dyson Animal Ball 2 vacuum cleaner, and I couldn't be more thrilled with its performance, especially as a pet owner. This vacuum has truly exceeded my expectations in every way, making the tedious task of cleaning up after my furry friends a breeze.

This system captures allergens and microscopic particles as small as 0.3 microns, ensuring cleaner air quality in your home. As a pet owner with allergies, this feature has made a noticeable difference in reducing allergens and improving the overall air freshness within my home. Convenient and Hygienic Bin Emptying: Emptying the dust bin is a simple and hygienic process with the Dyson Animal Ball 2. Its one-click, hygienic emptying mechanism allows you to dispose of the collected debris without any mess or contact with dirt. This feature is particularly helpful when dealing with pet hair, as it prevents it from floating back into the air during disposal.

Suction is great - everything else needs work
I have had this vacuum for a while and I'm trying to like it (gave up on loving it). The suction is tops, I don't think you can beat it with any other vacuum. The issues: 1) because the suction is so great, you have to use the separate floor attachment on throw rugs, there is no modulation of the powerful suction; 2) in using the separate floor attachment with the hose and plastic wand, it is sooo short it is BACK BREAKING. I am only 5'3" and I wish they would make a longer hose, or plastic wand; 3) when switching from the floor attachment back to the main vacuum, there is no place on the vacuum to hook this attachment. As I write this, my back is killing me and the attachment cannot be found. I live in a two story 2300 square foot house that has some wall to wall carpet (that is what this vacuum works best on), tile and wood floors with throw rugs. Most of the rooms are wood with throw rugs . . . I will continue to seach for the attachment. At least in writing this I got to sit and help my back out a bit. Dyson can do better (my other non Dyson vacuum is so much better in those two areas (place for attachments, length of hose/plastic wand, but not in suction)

Powerful, but awkward
If you want to use the hose, you have to unravel the entire power cord. The hose is so inflexible and awkward, I stopped using it. It cleans well, but it’s unnecessarily awkward. Really disappointed that Dyson is choosing to go full battery powered.
