The Dyson ball Vacuum
This is by far tge absolute best vacuum ive ever purchased. The cleaning abilities are off the rails, the Maneuverability and overall light weight make this the best vacuum on the market. High price? Well you want the best expect to pay the price. Somethings are worth it.
I most certainly would recommend to friends and family.

Almost as good as my ancient DC07
After almost 11 months of usage, I am very pleased with the Animal Complete's performance. Just like its predecessor, a 2007 DC07 that I repaired myself every few years until it died in January 2023, the Animal is able to handle the dirt, hay, etc, that our boots bring in from daily farm work, as well as the copious amounts of hair from a Golden Retriever, a silky Calico, and my waist-length hair. I vacuum from one end of the house to the other, dumping the bin twice, reverse course, vacuum in the opposite direction and dump the bin one more time. It revived the texture of my old carpet.
Pros: -Suction is outstanding.
-Hair never tangles on the brush roller
-Many useful attachments
-Can recline to vacuum under most furniture
-Ideal for vacuuming medium pile carpet or vinyl.
-Great maneuverability for zipping around corners
-So easy to clean brush roller housing when something gets lodged
- Long cord
Cons:
-Feels a bit too delicate when compared to my DC07
-Placing the power-button next to the roll brush button causes them to hook onto each other occasionally, making it difficult to turn either on or off. (Was easier on the old unit with the brush engagement on the vacuum head.)
-Like other reviewers note, the vinyl/tile setting is unusable. If a floor is even slightly out of level, the vacuum sucks to the flooring and can only be moved by turning off the unit.
-Returning hose to its cradle can be tricky at times; not as smooth as the DC07
I use the Animal Complete 1-2 times a week in my 950 sq ft house and highly recommend the model to others. I tried numerous brands before Dyson came into existence, but the DC07 and the Animal are the only vacuums able to conquer everything our farm can throw at our carpet. I will remain a Dyson devotee until they discontinue corded uprights.

I like it !
Many negative reviews have to do with using the attachments due to the way the hose extends. I probably won't use the attachments very much so that's not an issue to me. I've also read reviews where people mentioned having an older model from years ago, and that the new ones are made of cheap plastic. This is my fist Dyson so I have nothing to compare it to, however, it seems very sturdy and well-made to me. I actually do have a smaller rechargeable Dyson that I've had about a year, it seems to be made of similar materials as this large model, and I have been very happy with it.

Great for home with 2 dogs and 2 cats!
Bought this about 2-3 months ago. I have 2 Neapolitan Mastiffs and 2 cats. The amount of hair in my house is crazy. The first run with this vacuum made me question what the old one was doing for me. It’s light enough to move with ease and cleans up amazingly!

Amazing vacuum!
I received the ball animal 3 today and this is an amazing vacuum. I was wary after reading some of the reviews and was afraid I had made a mistake. I was so very wrong. I am 61 and live on a farm. If it is bad weather everything comes in on the 2 dogs. This vacuum has powerful suction and on the first use pulled so much out of the carpet. A breeze on the hard floor. This is a sturdy well made vacuum. It is NOT heavy or hard to push. Do not be afraid of that at all! I had a Dyson years ago and went to a competitor for my last vacuum. Dyson. I will never choose another vacuum again. Hands down the best vacuum. Thank you!!!

Unbelievable suction!!
This is my second Dyson. My first is an Animal Ball 2. It is still going strong other than my hose has a tear in it. It is almost 5 years old and I use it 7 days a week! I have OCD really bad so I clean every day. If something can take the abuse I put it through it has to be good. I wanted to get the latest model so I got the Animal Ball 3. I love the new motor bar cleaner head. It works very well and is easy to adjust between my thick carpet and my tile. It is also easy to clean. There is a button on the side that allows it to swivel up to pull the beater bar cover off to clean. The head is also smaller than my 2 which allows me to get in between chairs and such that my other wouldn’t allow. I won’t ever use another vacuum again. I’ve tried two of the biggest competitors and they don’t even compare. Seems like all the negative reviews on here are people being babies. Yes, my machine will fall over sometimes when I use the hose to clean something. Big deal. Most of the time I don’t go out far enough for it to fall over. The main thing I want my machine to do is pick up the stuff on the floor and this one does it incredibly well. I cannot believe how strong the suction is. So far I am very happy with this vacuum. Also, I have read many reviews talking about how heavy this vacuum is. I can pick it up with one arm and it ain’t very heavy at all. And my shoulders are terrible. It’s actually one of the lighter ones. Much lighter than older dyson’s. I have thick high pile carpet and it goes over it easily. You have to adjust the cleaner head to the floor type you are using. I also read someone say this animal 3 doesn’t pick up as good as the animal 2. That is NOT true. If someone isn’t satisfied with this vacuum, they won’t be satisfied with any.

Gets what your old vacuum left behind!
I didn’t realize I needed a new vacuum until I noticed what my old two vacuums were leaving behind - dirt, small dust piles, and hair - everything I assumed my vacuum would be picking up! I did a test and vacuumed first with my old vacuums, one with a bag and the other a stick for the crevices. After one trip around our small house, my new Dyson ball animal 3 picked up everything! This vacuum has insane amount of suction so work with the settings. It’s strong and worth every cent! This will definitely help the allergies.

Great for pet hair
This is my third Dyson, and second Animal. It moves smoothly over the carpet (which is cheap and thick), and cleaned it well. I changed the setting to hardwood/deep dirt and while it was harder to push over the carpet, it worked wonders! I'd take this any day over dog hair and dirt staying down in the carpet fibers. For those who complain about how hard it is to push, check your setting. You likely have it on the one for hardwood/no carpet. It was super easy to push over the carpet on the high pile setting.

Amazing
I have a similarly priced well reviewed vacuum, not Dyson. I deep cleaned our rugs and they were beyond dirty. We have two dogs but vacuum every few days, they should not have been so dirty. We bought the Animal 3 complete and I am seriously impressed. To test, I carefully vacuumed our three most used area rugs with our nonDyson vacuum. Then I vacuumed with the Dyson. The canister speaks for itself. This is from what we thought were clean rugs. I’m a fan for sure.

Excellent vacuum
This is my very first brand new Dyson upright. I've used a few Dysons over the years, so I have a good bit of experience with them. I love this model! The gates for carpet/floor suction control are fantastic, all the accessories are great, and it performs exactly as expected for a Dyson. It's not any heavier or bulkier than many of the other models I've used previously. Still learning my way around the accessories, however I am VERY happy with my purchase! Does a great job tackling all the dog/cat/parrot mess in our home.

Best Vacuum I Have Ever Owned
My last vacuum was 15yrs old and falling apart. I was hesitant about spending a lot on a new vacuum but after the reviews and other family members who owned a Dyson for years, I decided to get this during the sale. This vacuum sucked up so much dirt/dust/hair in one clean sweep in the entire house. I couldn’t believe how dirty my carpet/area rugs and hardwood floors were! The hose extension is stiff, but with time it’ll loosen up. I’ve even cleaned my sofa with the attachments and works awesome! I’m hoping this will help with my hubbys allergies knowing this vacuum throughly cleans!

Truly the best
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.

Never used a vacuum better than this
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Multiple cats and multiple long-haired humans: this vacuum couldn't care less as it cleans carpets, hardwood, and upholstery with equal ease. Easily maneuverable into tight corners and around furniture, it's light enough to carry up stairs and flexible enough to help remove the odd cobweb from ceiling level. We had as previous Animal Ball, and this is an upgrade in every respect.

Dyson always delivers
This is my 3rd ball! Love the extra long cord and ease of cleaning. I still have my old ones and they work fine. The latch to empty the cartridge sticks but the vacuum is 12 yrs old. Also love my Dyson hairdrying equopment!

Love the new roller bar
Have had this since June. 2 long haired cats were constantly clogging the rollerbar of our last Dyson. I would have to cut the hair off the bar during vacuuming. Took a chance and couldn’t be happier. I’ve not had to clean the bar yet!

Better than a shark vacuum.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve got a dogs that sheds a lot. It picks up there hair no problem. Has so much suction while running on hard wood floor. It stick to the floor a bit. Everything comes down that my shark vacuum did none of these things.

Best model ever
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For the last 18 years we have only bought dysons. This is by far the best one we have. It is super light and picks up more than any of the other ones we have bought. I love how they changed the "clip" that holds on the vacuum head. It is so easy to take on and off. Having 4 females in the house it's nice that hair don't get caught anymore. The attachments continue to get better each time as well.

Like it better tan than my other Dyson
Have 2 wooly coated Siberian Huskies and their hair is all over everywhere. Their hair is no match for this model. The self cleaning brush head really works! The hair never tangles around it. I don't have to clean the brushes like I do with my Dyson powerhead.

Tough Enough For Business
I use this for my business and it handles the tough dirt and hair that accumulates on a daily basis when dealing with the public. Using in a residential setting would be amazing. Works great on bare and carpeted areas. Strong, powerful suction as expected from Dyson.

Very nice vacuum
Love this vacuum so far. The hose attachment is a little awkward to use. They should make the hose attachment towards the bottom, so it won’t tip over. Overall my favorite vacuum.

Ball Animal 3 Complete to the Rescue
After researching for weeks, I decided the Dyson Ball Animal 3 Complete was best for me and my shedding Black Labrador Retriever. I am so pleased with the powerful suction and the ease of use, and it only took a few short days to adjust to the ball technology. It's amazing at removing the pet hair, and the tools are a plus, including the one that removes the hair from the dog. I highly recommend this for everyone especially the pet owner.

Best vacuum I’ve ever used
We bought our first Dyson refurbished and loved it for two years, came back for our second and decided it was time for a “new” one since we fell in love with our Dyson ball 2. Then Dyson had to show me the animal 3….hands down THE BEST vacuum I have ever used, the price tag hurt a little, you know, because it’s a vacuum, but it was worth every single penny! 10/10 will buy another when this one eventually dies too. I’d like to think I won’t have carpet much longer, but I’ll gladly keep it with this awesome machine around!
