Same! We have one plug in vac (Dyson Ball Animal 3) for serious cleaning and my daily driver which is a cordless canister. Daily vacuuming with the stick keeps my house so clean in between deep cleans, makes me very happy.
I would keep it for that price of $279 because you may someday want to put carpet on your tile floors it you own your house because tile is very cold in the winter unless you live in a really warm climate in the winter. I got obsessed this year in 2025 with buying the Dyson Ball Animal 3 Complete vacuums with all the 10 attachments and I got it for a lower price than the Dyson Ball Animal 3 Extra with only 4 attachments and the Dyson Ball Animal 3 with only 2 attachments. I bought 4 of them on Dyson Website. On Dyson Website today on 04/19/2025 the Dyson Ball Animal 3 Complete is going for $399.00 with the 10 attachments, and the Dyson Ball Animal 3 Extra is going for $499.00 with only 4 attachments, and the Dyson Ball Animal 3 is going for $399.00 with only 2 attachments. Dyson stopped making Corded Vacuums, but the Dyson Ball Animal 3 was released in Summer of 2022. I never want a Cordless Vacuum so I have bought 2 for my house for upstairs and downstairs and 2 for my other house that my son lives in for upstairs and downstairs and on Ebay I found 2 Brand New in the Box Dyson Ball Animal 3 Completes with all 10 attachments for $299.00 and another Dyson Ball Animal 3 Complete with all the 10 attachments for $270.00 and one Dyson Ball Animal 3 Extra with 4 attachments for $213.00. I am stocking up because I want to start cleaning other peoples houses that are older and have a hard time cleaning their house so I want to have extra vacuum cleaners in case they break down and to last me until I die which I am already almost 73 years old and they are suppose to last 10 years if you wash the filters and replace the filters when needed and clean the cyclone on them the way Dyson recommends. I love the looks of them. They are so cute with that ball and the only vacuum I have ever seen with that cute ball. Cordless vacuums batteries run out after about 70 minutes and some of them if on high speed battery runs out after 5 or 10 minutes plus the batteries are expensive to replace and those cordless vacuums that Dyson sells are a lot more expensive than the Dyson Ball Animal 3 plus the Dyson Ball Animal 3 has a Detangle Brush Head where you do not have to cut off hair that gets tangled on the Brush Head. If you are cleaning a big house 70 minutes is not enough time so you better purchase an extra battery. Hope you will be happy with your Dyson.

Dyson Animal Ball 3…best thing ever
The absolute best is the Dyson Animal Ball 3. Make sure you get the “Pet Groom Tool” and the “Tangle-free turbine tool.” It’s truly amazing for when you have pets with long hair / shed https://preview.redd.it/75g3ldud4y5g1.jpeg?width=1320&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=34c02e0b0b76b04bceb005c1746429e6bbe43ae1
Dyson Ball Animal 3
V11 and later versions of their cordless perform ok for thick carpets. You have to open the front gates to relieve pressure. If you have a lot of carpet, you have to learn to stop cleaning your entire home in one go. If you really want a Dyson, I would personally only get the Ball Animal 3 for your thick carpets. It also works really well for hard floors. You should watch Vacuum War's review on it to see if it fits your needs. DO NOT get any other version of Dyson uprights, they are horrible and only work on very specific types of carpets. Otherwise, a Sebo upright is my next recommendation if you don't mind bagged.
I clean houses for a living and use a Dyson Animal 3 that’s refurbished for $199 on Amazon. It’s great on hardwoods and carpets. There’s an adjustable switch on the front that raises and lowers the height. I use it 20 hours a week and it’s lasted for a year. Granted, I’m on my second one in two years, but my mom broke my other one. They are workhorses
Thanks for your recommendation. So I got this one and a Dyson Ball Animal 3. The good: Kenmore's suction is really good - definitely cleans very well. The detangling technology is good and the auto cord rollback is also amazing. The bad: Man it's a process! With the stairs, it was a constant struggle with the canister, the cords and the suction pipe. I used the motor brush because our stairs are carpeted. If I use the extension for stairs, that doesn't have the same detangling technology, so the cleaning is not as effective. Even on flat surface, tugging along that canister along with cords was a struggle. My verdict is that Kenmore gives a little bit more suction and cleaning vs. the Dyson, but that return was not as good enough vs. Dyson's overall convenience. Perhaps there is a learning curve involved with how to work with a canister + stairs vacuum, but one shouldn't have to go through a training regimen to learn how to use a vacuum + I don't really have the time for it. I can see myself using it perhaps once a month (and even that comes with a ton of resistance).
Loved this vaccum great buy on sale at Walmart for 200 right now
I went through 2 "cheap" Vacs before I got the Dyson Ball Animal 3. It just works so much better. I've had it for 2 years and i have no complaints. I picked it up at Costco on sale for like $279
