This was the biggest disappointment ever. Couldn't even push it no matter what setting it was on.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Response from DysonBy Dyson Customer Support, October 18, 2022
Hi there, this is Kelly with Dyson. We're saddened to hear that you've had such a disappointing experience with your Dyson Ball Animal 3 Extra. Your machine features an Anti-tangle Motorbar™ cleaner head, with suction control. You can slide the suction control slider located on the front of the head, to suit the floor type you are cleaning.
Having said that, there are some floor coverings which are not compatible with Dyson machines, a spinning brush bar, or stronger suctioning vacuums. You may wish to check with your carpeting manufacturer if you're still having difficulty, as they may have guidelines against using a Dyson vacuum, or recommend a machine with lower suction power.
If you're within your 30-day return window and the machine was purchased from us directly, feel free to get in touch with us at askdysonUS@dyson.com, and we'd be glad to help initiate a return.
Best wishes,
Kelly

Fantastic vacuum

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the third Dyson vacuum we have used. The performance is exceptional, and the power unmatched to any other vacuum we’ve ever had before. We have a Dyson stick for light cleaning and use on the stairs. This animal handles every other square inch of our home with ease. I am continually amazed at how an area that looks clean still produces dust dirt animal hair after use with the Dyson ball vacuum
I would recommend this to a friend!

Awesome. Happy with my purchase

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 :)

Does not pick up debris
on November 6, 2022
Posted by: Marybeth0909

Vacuum pushes debris and does not pick it up. This includes a little popcorn kernel. It does not pick up plastic wrappers. Actually sectioned one to the shield for the rollers. Did well with dust and fur in the carpet. I didn't find it hard to push. If you have any debris that you wish to pick up, this is NOT your vacuum
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello,
Thank you for your review. This is Miella from Dyson. We're sorry for the frustration with your Ball Animal 3 machine. The Ball Animal 3 features a self-adjusting cleanerhead, and it adjusts itself to the height of the flooring. Dyson manufacture vacuum cleaners are suitable for most flooring types. However, we are unable to test our machines on every flooring permutation. Therefore, we always recommend that you contact your carpet retailer/manufacturer before using your new Dyson or any other vacuum cleaner.
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.
Best Wishes,
Miella

Absolutely Amazing!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Absolutely love the new & improved Dyson vacuum. I have a dog who sheds along with 4 women in the house that have long hair. I was highly impressed after vacuuming there wasn’t a single hair stuck to the roller. All the dirt and hair was in the waste container. My husband was also happy he no longer has to take the vacuum apart to cut and unwind the hair that was stuck to the roller. Love how it’s slightly bigger not much of a difference from the one I had. This one is a game changer for my family! LOVING IT! Dyson has made this momma a happy one!

Old house, carpet, single pane windows, desert sand, wind, 3 dogs and 1 cat . . . and my Dyson Ball Animal 3 gets it all seamlessly and without any hair stuck on the roller. Absolutely amazing!! I love it.

Amazing Cleaning Power!
on June 16, 2022
Posted by: Kindness
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow! This Dyson Ball Animal 3 Upright Vacuum has the strongest suction of any upright vacuum we've seen, to-date. The three cleaning modes on the head of the vacuum simplify the cleaning process and work wonders on their prospective flooring. Truly, hard floors (hardwood, tile, etc..), carpets all feel so much cleaner when walking barefoot, almost like they were mopped or professionally cleaned. It feels insane to say, but true. Our kids love this vacuum and how clean the floors feel under their feet. They actually ask to vacuum, now (What?, exactly!). The extra long cord is a timesaver too, definitely a plus. Oh, and pet/long hair and/or small strings tangled around the vacuum brush bar are a thing of the past. Amazing! No more, detangling. Absolutely wonderful and timesaving, Thank You, Dyson!
While vacuuming we came across a few initial challenges (3). First, we noticed the function of the hose configuration is different from the older upright Dyson vacuums we are used to. No worries, we quickly figured it out over several uses (of course, the kids were faster, no surprise there). Next, we noticed the vacuum head (that includes the de-tangling technology) no longer fits under some of our furniture and appliances. The timesaving and hassle freeness of no longer turning the vacuum over and using scissors or whatever to untangle the brush bar is amazing, and definitely worth the sacrifice of not fitting under a few pieces of furniture and a couple appliances. Last, was the size and weight of the vacuum, definitely bigger and heavier than our previous Dyson vacuums. While still offering the continued ease of use, Dyson has mastered, in addition to much better effectiveness in cleaning far outweighs any differences in size and weight.
In conclusion, we happily recommend this Dyson Ball Animal 3 Upright Vacuum with 5 stars. Outperformed all expectations and more. Thank you, Dyson!
