Dyson - Ball Animal Total Clean

For this purpose, you can get a shedding attachment for an existing vacuum for $10 on Amazon. You get one with rubbery fingers like this one https://preview.redd.it/t9radnatwssf1.jpeg?width=350&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=cd906eec845044363d52f0fab27603cd7f624d23 Ones with hard fingers don't work nearly as well. My two JRTs shed small white hairs year round and this gets them up from furniture, beds, covers, clothes, and in my car for carpet and neoprene seat covers where they get woven in. I have two of these - one for my car and one in the house. However, if you need a complete vacuum, the previous version of the Dyson Animal (Total Clean) with a lot of attachments (like the rotary brush ) is on sale on Amazon for $410.

I have the Dyson Ball Animal 3. I've had it for about a year and a half and it replaced my previous Dyson Ball Animal 1 which lasted me just shy of 6 years. I vacuum at least once daily because that's my preference but we really could be good with vacuuming once or twice weekly. We are in a two bedroom apartment with two long-haired cats, one short hair cat and my partner who has long hair and sheds like crazy. It's great for couches and cat trees too as the attachments it comes work very well! I also like the extendable hose as it helps get cobwebs from the ceilings and light fixtures. This has been hands down the best vacuum I've ever had. My one and only gripe with this vacuum is that its pretty heavy so if you need to lift it, make sure you or someone in your life has a bit of muscle to help! :)

That’s what I thought, too. Here’s my math on that: I spent $1k on my Sebo in March. I added up the cost of the 3 Dyson vacuums( I’ve had since 2017) and the parts I’ve had to replace = I should have bought a Sebo sooner. Models I’m literally placing on the curb tomorrow for whoever wants them. I’ve had it with Dyson’s cheap plastic crap: The upright Dyson (2021), V6 (2017) replaced with V11 (2022). All have had their brush heads replaced. 2 of the 3 are broken again. Not sure what’s wrong with the upright, again. We don’t even use them heavily, I have cleaners in once every 2 weeks. It’s absurd.

I joined the sub to see what you're talking about. I love my Dyson vacuums (10yo Ball Animal and 1yo V8).

Lovely! I really appreciate the HEPA filter. I nearly bought a newer model instead, but that sold me.

I have a dyson ball from 2020. I got the “pet” version, but i forgot the model specifically. But i’ve had it for 5 years. And have 2 short haired cats and a wife. I vaccum every other week. It works well and the carpet definitely feels cleaner after the round of cleaning i did. I’m happy with it and i hope it keeps working sell. I do keep up with cleaning it as much as i can to keep it in good shape. There may be alternatives to dyson, but i’ve enjoyed them so far.

I have had a handheld motor head and the battery runs out in less than 6-7 minutes on full power, but is okay for small items. I recently bought the animal ball at Costco and really like it. Its anecdotal, but I have had terrible luck with.mutliple sharks (3 different models from handheld to fullsize) and won't buy those anymore.

We have the Dyson ball pet hair vacuum, we’ve had it for three years and love it. My mum had a Dyson that lasted a decade.

Howdy all, I wouldn't say I need a new vacuum but randomly came across this and have seen how much people rave about their fancy vacuums. I currently have a Dyson Ball Animal from Costco that I got last year I think. It works fine, but I really have no comparison. We have 2 small dogs and 5 cats, it sounds way worse than it actually is, but we clean and vacuum very often so if we can get a better result I am all years. I have been seeing Sebo as popular brand and our home is majority high pile carpet.

I have the Dyson Ball Animal edition for my house with 3 dogs. It’s great. I also have a Shark that’s great too. The only issue with Dyson is you can’t use it on Berber carpeting, which is what my basement was (which is why I also had a Shark)

Yes the original Animal is a workhorse. The newer ball I don’t like as much.
