Great suction hoover
Had this hoover for 2 weeks now and I must say that I’m impressed. It has great suction and a good choice of cleaning adapters which does pick up lots of dog hairs.

Powerful and well built with a weak trigger
I bought it on Argos as it was out of stock elsewhere. I managed to get a discount voucher as well so worth every penny. The vacuum is well built and has a strong suction power apart from some cheap plastic bits . I have had a Dyson vacuum for over 10 years and it has lost some power so it was time to upgrade and I am happy that I did. This one is far more stronger and has many attachments for various purposes. I do not think you can use it on wet surfaces and I would rather not try. My only concern is that the power on and off button the main body is rather cheap and feel fragile. Dyson need to look into this as they have issues with many vacuum triggers, especially the V series. I had to get a replacement for a previous V11 as the trigger broke. This one looks even worse than the V series.

Works
It’s a replacement for a previous Dyson. It works well. Cannot get excited re a vacuum cleaner.

Beast of a machine !
Probably the best of the several Dysons I've had. Bigger than I expected and much more power than my previous models, all of which were great in their own way. Love the 'self righting' feature too. Excellent purchase.

Good Value For Money
Had a dyson for over 10 years, this was bought as a replacement

Dyson big ball. Near perfect
Very good vacuum with strong suction on pet hair. Can be a little too strong on some carpets making it awkward to move but the release button on it makes it much easier. It’s just learning what works best in each surface. The only thing that I wished you could do with it is wrap everything around like the baby Dyson they used to make. That was so space saving and a great vacuum that has lasted a long time. I wanted to get mum the same but his was the closest. Dyson still make the best vacuums. Pity the power switch and cord recoil buttons are much flimsier than they used to be, which when you consider the cost, they should be. Make them more robust and this would’ve been a 5 star reviews

Powerful suction
We've used Dyson cylinder cleaners for a few years now. The Big Ball Animal 2 is our third one. It has a very powerful suction, even when set to "Low" on the cleaning head. In fact, it's like having a workout at the gym when vacuuming on carpet! The suction is so powerful, it can be a bit of a struggle to push back and forth, but it's much easier on hard floors. The motor is very quiet compared to our previous models, and has a good long cable length. The quick release feature to empty the dust chamber is really handy. However, there's a little plastic hook which you need to release to open the flap, which appears to be a bit flimsy considering the strong tension required to hold the flap shut. Also the carrying handle doesn't seem robust enough to carry the weight (just over 7kg), but time will tell. The ball itself is larger than our previous model and struggles to sit on the stairs, a minor issue I guess. Overall a very good machine.

Great little vac
Finally replacing our old dc5. This works really well , lighter. More powerful. Better brushes, easier to clean the brush, quieter, decent cord length, takes up less space in cupboard than the old one. One concern so far is the catch holding the debris in when lifting out the cylinder to drop in to the bin. Its only little and tight margin for closing properly, can fall open when lifting up, needs and extra push shut.
