An outstanding upgrade over previous Ball models
I've owned many Dyson uprights over the years, but I genuinely feel that the Ball Animal 3 is one of the best uprights they've ever produced. The new 'Motorbar' cleaner head (similar in design to those used on the cordless models) is excellent for deep cleaning thicker pile carpets. It can accommodate different carpet piles with the three-mode adjuster on the front of it. The 'Hair Removal Vanes' (the comb inside the cleaner head that removes hair from the brush roll) works as advertised, for the brush roll has yet to retain a single strand of hair. I feel that this feature will save many owners from future grief from failing cleaner heads since many neglect essential maintenance like manually removing hair and string from the brush roll. The brush roll is quite significant in diameter and uses a combination of beater bars and soft, continuous bristles to vibrate and sweep the pile to loosen and remove dirt. I see this design as an improvement over the previous brush bar design, which used long, stiff bristles to agitate carpets. Although it cleaned well, it was prone to removing excessive carpet fibers from lower-quality carpets. The new brush bar is more forgiving than the old design yet just as effective at agitating the pile and removing deep dirt and grit. A downside to this new 'Motorbar' cleaner head design is that some people may find it slightly more difficult to push over carpets. I do attest that there is more resistance when pushing the Ball Animal 3. It's not enough to make me not recommend this machine. From personal experience, vacuum cleaners with exceptional deep cleaning tend to be slightly more difficult to push across carpets. If your vacuum effortlessly skates across your carpet, the chances are that it's not deep cleaning the carpet pile. The rest of the machine is an evolution of older Dyson Ball models. It's a pretty straightforward machine with an intuitive and user-friendly design. If you are mindful of maintaining this machine by rinsing the filters every two months, you should get many years of satisfying use out of the Ball Animal 3.

Happy purchaser
Pros! This vacuum is really powerful! Very easy to use. We had a Dyson Animal that we purchased in 2011 and this has more power! We hope it lasts just as long Cons-it's really easy to unplug, which can be a pain. Also, it told back very easily-too easily. I have a hard time making it stay upright and I really don't like that.

    Picks up all dog hair without clogging
    No issue with packaging or delivery. Vacuum works very well. A must have for owners of dogs that shed.

    Fast shipping! Item exactly as described!
    Finally, I decided to get a dyson vacuum. This seller had the best price around. Came new, it was the item I ordered, and they shipped it super fast. I would buy from them again.

    Lots of suction but heavy to push around
    Powerful suction but was more challenging to assemble than I thought. Also this Dyson seems heavier than other vacuums Ive used. Once you turn the vacuum on the suction really attaches itself to the floor plus the weight of the vacuum makes it feel like Im trying to lift weights.

    Perfect vacuum for picking up hair and dander.
    Our third Dyson vacuum. No other vacuum has the kind of power and suction that Dyson has. While the other two we have are still working, we purchased this one for the pet hair features and the grooming tool that works brilliantly on German Shepherd coats. And long human hair doesn't get caught up in the floor brush.

    Love Dyson
    Wasn't sure I liked that it's smaller then my last animal dyson (the purple one) but quickly loved it because it fits in so many more places. And it's powerful as always. Will never buy a different brand.

    No dog hair is left behind on the floor
    I have had Dysons for years. This new Animal 3 just might have the capability to suck the padding through the carpet! No hair is left behind on the floor or carpet.

    Great Suction
    Love this vacuum. It does a fantastic job getting the hair up from my golden retriever and 3 cats. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the hose for stretching the vacuum up the stairs does not come close to the full length advertised. At the full length stretched I can't get to the last 2-3 steps and at that point the vacuum falls over and starts getting pulled up the stairs. FYI I also find that the upholstery attachment gets the animal hair out of the stair runner rug and carpet better than the stair tool. By the way the upholstery tool is unbelievably amazing. It makes quick work out of getting cat hair off chairs and couches. Truly awesome! This vacuum is so amazing that the less than stellar stair hose does not keep me from loving it. I am truly in love with this vacuum. I am very happy with this purchase. I do hope Dyson will lengthen the stair hose though. It would then be perfect!!
