I bought the Dyson cinetic big ball animal barrel vacuum cleaner a couple of months ago to replace my previous 9 year old Dyson. We have a Labrador who sheds an unbelievable amount of hair.

I have had the vacuum since December and so far have 3 issues with it. 1) I regularly clean out the brush-bar after 2 or 3 cleanings. After my 10th use or so, I noticed a burning smell coming from the vacuum, called Dyson and they said to bring it in for repairs and they would cover whatever was...

Dyson's Cinetic technology vacuums don't have filters to wash or replace and you'll never have to worry about losing suction as you clean. Filters get dirty, and sometimes clogged, which means less-efficient vacuuming.

The strong suction power of this vacuum combined with the aggressive agitation of the brush bar effortlessly removed dirt and hair from the carpet; It even managed to pick up debris from floors that were just recently vacuumed by a different vacuum, No bags to replace.

After lot of thoughts I have gone with this product and satisfied with the output except when I use it it on hard floors. When I am using it in new carpet, it is not easy to maneuver, I have tried with all the tool set suggested but still its bit difficult.

For such a high end company whose upright models are so well built, I'm surprised at the cheap feel of the pole on this canister model. The turbine attachment works very well on most floors, but if you have a shag, or any other thick or high carpet or rug, this is most definitely NOT the vacuum for...

Dyson markets itself as the company with the science behind vacuum cleaners that never lose suction. This upright vacuum cleaner proved to have excellent suction, and it moved around corners better than most of the machines on our lineup.

This upright vacuum combines powerful suction and fluid maneuverability

It doesn't let you adjust the suction

We purchased the Dyson a year ago and were impressed with how well it cleaned our carpets. The canister was filled up a couple of times when we first started using it. The canister is emptied by releasing the door on the bottom and everything falls out and that is an issue, the fine dust floats back...

cleans well

does have filters; messy to empty canister; expensive to buy and maintain

An excellent Vacuum cleaner. Our first Dyson was purchased in 1998 and was replaced by this new one in December 2016. The build quality is great and the suction phenomenal! Our hall carpet filled the Dyson alone! There have been vast improvements with Dyson in the past 18 years!

An outstanding cylinder cleaner: it's versatile, accomplished, easy to empty and there are no filters to clean.

Excellent suction power; Brilliant Musclehead tool for hard floors; Tangle-Free Turbine tool works well; No filters to block or clean; Great detail tools; Huge; easy-to-empty bin

Cable and hose could be longer; Turbine tools reduce suction power

Dyson made its name by eliminating big frustrations people encounter when trying to accomplish one of the most basic household tasks: vacuuming. So what do you do when the big frustrations are gone? You tackle the little ones.

4.1 ft extension rod for high spot cleaning; Big bin; Ball won't flip
