This for my family was a big upgrade. The vacuum we had before was very old and kicked up and spread more dust than it collected. This is an awesome upgrade. It glides on the floor super smoothly and picks up everything. Movement and handling is great. Also really easy to empty. Would recommend :)
I had one of the very first Dyson Ball that came out. I LOVED that vacuum. Unfortunately, pieces broke off and I needed to replace it. The Dyson Ball 3 is a huge transition. It isn’t as solid. I feel as if I’m going to break it every time I use it. I’m trying to get used to it but it will take a while.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello,
Thank you for your review. This is Miella from Dyson. We're sorry to hear of your concern with your Ball Animal 3 upright machine!
All Dyson machines, including the Ball Animal 3, are engineered with ABS plastic, which is the same material in police riot shields. They all also go through a VERY rigorous testing phase to ensure they can endure even more than the average bump and drop.
We'd value the opportunity to learn more about your experience with your Dyson as we'd like to help ensure you are having a 5-star experience. Please feel free to reach out to us at askdysonUS@dyson.com, and we will be in touch.
The Dotson ball we bought works great. The only think I don’t like is how easily it pops out of the upright position. When I move it across the floor it will often pop off the transport wheel position.
This thing pulls more dirt than I knew existed, and it just about sucks the paint off the walls.
It is, actually, so strong that it appears to be stretching my carpet and causing rolls and I believe has caught edges between the carpet and tile and caused some unraveling. Yes, my carpet is older and should like be replaced by it still looks great so I am not loving what's happening here. Also, it's really heavy and can be hard to maneuver to use the cleaning tools.
I only had this vacuum a few months. I have long hair and so does my dog. No hair wrapped around the brush bar! Suction was great, too. Hurricane Ian flooded my house with 4ft of water. My Dyson did not survive.
This vacuum has superior suction. Being 79, it is hard to push on the carpeting throughout the house. The long hose for stair use etc. is stiff and takes some strength to keep it open to full length. However, even though it is hard to use I would not trade it for another. My rugs have never been this free of dust and cat hair.
All the money went into the motor and didn't leave any room to make a quality casing and wheel system. I love the sucking power but hate the cheap feel of everything else. Lots of thin plastics and the wheels don't stay up when moving around when it's off. I wouldn't buy again. We are hoping the plastics last more then a year. Pieces don't fit firmly because of the poor quality in the casing.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there, this is Kelly with Dyson. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on the Ball Animal 3 upright with us. We're glad to hear that you've found the suction power to be so powerful. One great new feature of your vacuum is the Anti-tangle Motorbar™ cleaner head, with suction control. You're able to move the slider from side to side, and adjust suction depending on the floor type you're cleaning. Also, rest assured, Dyson machines are made from polycarbonate ABS, which is same material used in riot shields and crash helmets. They are tough, so we subject them to 50,000 hours of testing and 550 individual tests – all to ensure that they can withstand a lifetime’s hard use. If you have any other questions/concerns, please get in touch with us directly at askdysonUS@dyson.com.
