Dyson - Ball Animal 3

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 ball animal 3 isn’t awful and $279 isn’t a bad price. Plus Costco has an excellent return policy. The Ball Animal 3 has a much better power nozzle. The Animal 2s love to wrap hair that then moves into the brush drive mechanism bearings and literally melts it apart. The new design is better and pops out for easy cleaning. My best suggestion on that machine is to keep the cone filter in the cyclone pack clean. Do not wash the exhaust filter hidden in the ball - the minerals in water will clog it (the cone filter in the bin is perfectly fine to wash). Replacements are easy to find online. The largest issue is the cyclone packs on dyson machines are hard to clean. Don’t overfill the bin and keep the screen inside (called a shroud) clean. It’s a good idea to use an air compressor (wear a dust mask) and blow the dust out from the whole thing. Fine dust builds up inside the cyclone packs and starts to decompose, causing smells.

I'd advise against it. I bought a Dyson Ball 3 about 2 and 1/2 years ago. Motor died unexpectedly a few weeks ago, and while it's technically still covered under warranty after 5 failed attempts in getting it repaired by their customer service, I just recycled the unit and went to my local vacuum store and bought a Riccar R25S after a demo and I was very impressed. Unit was about 499, so in your range. People here tend to lean towards Sebo or Miele, however I think for the price I got the Riccar for, it was a fair deal. If I wanted to spend a couple extra hundred I'd have gone with a Sebo

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

Dyson ball animal 3 is a great option, we have had uk models similar to it for 7 years and they are still standing strong

Canister vacuum: Dyson cinetic big ball (no maintainance) / Dyson big ball (filter to maintain) Both have hygienic bin emptying (your finger doesnt go near the waste disposal area) It’s easy to reach around due to the extendable wand. Upright: Dyson ball upright vacuum (any) theyre easy to maintain, they have hygienic bin emptying, and they have a long wand on the back thats easy to use with the on board tools. Cordless: Dyson v12 (it’s small and uses a button power system, easy to manoeuvre) / Dyson gen5 (it’s normal size, uses a power button system and had a built in crevice and dusting brush combo). Both have hygienic bin emptying

Ok so firstly, never buy a shark. They’re some of the worst vacuums in the long run and break easily also shark bins are super small. If you want a Dyson corded, they sell the ball origin and the ball animal (discontinued on Dyson’s website) for £250-£300 so a little over budget. I personally prefer Dysons as bagless uprights as they’re super powerful and easy to use. The only downside is that they’re a little heavy compared to most vacuums. If there is anything else specific or of your not willing to get the Dysons because you don’t like the reviews or design or price just let me know in a reply.

100% would recommend. I have NEVER and I mean NEVER used another vacuum that even comes close to the suction power that dyson has. I got the one linked below two years ago (or very very similar) - yes it was around the same price and I would buy it again and again. The only issue I would say is make sure your rug is firmly stuck to the floor because it WILL suck it up. It's that powerful. I've tried multiple shark professional vacs and rainbow E2. They simply do not compare. When using the wand it will pull everything up to a 1 foot radius around it. Perfect for animal hair and very easy to keep clean with a washable filter.
