Vacuums well

vacuums well, suction is great but a lot harder to manuver then expected, it take a good bit of muscle to vacuum a rug. the hose attachment is terrible it kinks while trying to use it, and it isan effort to pull the hose straight. Then a bit time consuming to but back together
First off it really has good suction. The wand and hose are very awkward to use and getting it back in place is not any easier. The last time I used it I had my wife figure it out.
It doesn't have a very wide swath and it doesn't seem to fluff my carpet like my old machine.
It does seem to work well for long hair with no wrapping.
Overall not a bad unit, price is a bit high.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

After many years of eyeballing a pet dyson I finally bought one.
Pros: The suction is AMAZING. We have 6 cats and 2 dogs and it gets all the hair up.
- The cord is super long, no need to unplug to move from room to room.
Cons: the parts are all flimsy plastic! Such a disappointment for the price point!
The handle feels like it will snap when your vacuuming.
-When using the hose and an attachment the hose kinks, it’s only a matter of short time before that has a hole from the flex.
-The container that holds the “garbage” sucked up is also made of flimsy plastic materials.
It gets 3 stars for the suction, 0 star for construction/materials used.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This vac does a great job on carpet and hardwood floors. However I have long hair dogs that shed alot the vac handles it, but the wand and hose plug way to easy. My old Dyson handled it with ease.
My first Dyson Animal is an original more than 14 years old. I bought the Animal 3 to replace it after it finally started over heating. I would never buy any other brand vacuum. The Animal 3 has very powerful suction. Love this vacuum on hardwood floors and for pet hair. It doesn't blow the hair everywhere, but sucks it right to the vacuum. The pet attachment is great on the dog. Easy bin removal, and great for dusting the house. The adjustable settings are great for different flooring. The only reason a four star rating, it's hard to vacuum throw rugs even on the highest setting without the beaterbar rotating. Overall, I wouldn't hesitate to buy the same vacuum again! Thank you Dyson!!!
As a vacuum cleans very good; however is very hard to push. This is our third Dyson vacuum and while it cleans the best is very hard to push and maneuver. My wife (who is 83) does not like it and wants to go back to our last one; which we still have

Hey there, this is Kelly with Dyson. Thank you for your review. Your new Ball Animal 3 Extra features an Anti-tangle Motorbar™ cleaner head, with suction control. This will allow you to move that slider on the front of the head, to adjust suction depending on which floor type you're cleaning. If the machine is hard to push, adjusting that slider will typically resolve the issue. If you're still having trouble, you may wish to contact your carpeting manufacturer, as they will generally have some guidelines for cleaning their floor coverings, in terms of best suction, power and even using a spinning brush bar on their floor fibers.
