Dyson - Cinetic Big Ball Animal + Allergy

I'm still using a 7 year old Dyson Animal-Allergy.

Dyson Animal Big Ball , plug-in. The pet hair attachment is great plus the main foot too. All the other attachments are ++ but for pet stuff they’re the stars Def not cordless. If I use my bf’s stick Dyson on the rug then use my Dyson there’s a noticeable difference!!! The stick is for quickies 😜

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

I have a plug in big ball dyson that I bought in 2016 and I work as a cleaner so that baby gets used at least 3x a week for a couple of hours. It's one of the best vacuums I've ever owned ( my favourite is the Electrolux) The sucking power and the head swivel, the interchangeable parts all have stood the test of time. I love that i can dismantle the head for cleaning it. I highly recommend this vacuum to everyone. I do absolutely hate the dyson stick vacuums though!!!

We've had a Dyson cinetic ball for about 5 years and it's awful. I've seen posts about Miele and sebo but theirs look like it's all $1000+? Are there any decent vacuums around $600??

I got a second hand dyson big ball vaccum for $10 off FB marketplace. gave it a quick service and it was good to go. Best vaccum I've ever had

I just bought my second Dyson for our upstairs and we love it. The Big Ball vacuum was on sale for under $250 and it even has a dog grooming attachment I use on our golden retriever. Works great. Better than our older Dyson stick. I'd say if you want a Dyson that won't completely obliterate your bank account, give the Big Ball a try.

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 was a Dyson Animal ball vacuum fan but durability became an issue. I love the Dyson V15 for our hard surface floors. Bought a Sebo Felix last year and it does great on carpet. However, it’s a heavy machine compared to Dyson, Shark, etc. As a CR subscriber for decades I can attest to a decline in their rating quality. It may be that their shift to algorithms that weight other factors differently.

Well you’re going to have the same sort of problems with Shark, they’re worse. Mine wasn’t even meant to have the brushroll removed and cleaned, found that out the hard way. That’s basic maintenance for a vacuum, especially when you have pets and humans with long hair. Shark wanted me to buy a whole new powerhead, lol. Good thing my dad and I are handy and jerry-rigged the Shark back together. My mom bought two Dysons. A (I think) DC40 then one of the pet ones with a ball. They were both crap too. The switched kept going out, luckily our vacuum shop doesn’t gouge people on repairs. I took my commercial Sanitaire (not suggesting this beast to average consumers), but the amount of sand it pulled out of her carpet was fascinating. So the Dysons were just sweeping the surface of her carpet. I’m sure the people here will recommend either a Miele or a Sebo. Other good vacuums exist too. I mainly collect and repair older vacuums as a hobby. So I’m not the one to ask. I do know bagged is better and cleaner than bagless, and direct air cleans deeper than a bypass machine. Air flow is what cleans, not suction.
