Dyson - Cinetic Big Ball Origin Vacuum

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 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

We've had our Dyson V8 for almost 6 years and it still works amazingly. We've had our Dyson big ball vacuum for 8 years and it still works amazingly. Say what you want about Dyson products but we've only had good experiences.

I did, best decision for wife happiness in a while next to the speed queen washer/dryer. I had Dyson big ball vacuums for the decade prior and they are hot garbage after 6-12 months of use. You have to tear apart the canister to clean the caked on dust and dried skin out of it for it to not smell like a moldy foot every time you turn it on. Oh, and the Hepa filter is a royal pain to change on the newer big ball models and if you don't change it (dyson doesn't tell you you need to every 6-12 months) it burns up the motor. The Meile C3 is a bagged vacuum that only has a hose that can cake up with that junk and that's unlikely. If it starts stinking, you change the bag and you have a new vacuum again. I'd rather spend $1,400 once (theoretically for 15+ years) and $80/year in bags than spending $300-500 every two years on a new crappy vacuum.

I have a Dyson ball, the one where the main unit rolls on the floor and you have the handpiece connected with a hose, has served me well for 6 years no issues. Easy to clean and empty. I see a lot of people recommended Miele here, never tried them but they use bags, I don't like those types

Whoever has those Dysons clearly doesn’t have multiple long-haired, double coated pets running around. I had the stick and the ball versions and both barely lasted a year

I had a dyson ball that lasted 6 years with good maintenance. Can’t be too mad about that i guess. Spent $1000 on a miele c3 so if i don’t get a decade out of it, then i blame this sub.

I regret my Dyson ball as well, but it's only 4 years old (bought it as a 1yo refurb) so I'm going to use it for the next decade or so until it dies on me.  Carrying it up and down stairs, getting it to follow me around corners... honestly, it feels like it makes just about everything more difficult, though thankfully just in a frustrating way and not a "I can't even do what I need to" way.

I have a Bissel Pet canister for quick, everyday use. It is fairly light and effective. I've had to change the belt and roller a few times. I bought a Dyson ball that i thought would replace the Bissel that was getting old. I only use it for deeper cleans. It is *heavy* and the wand is unwieldy. Plus, the clog points are many, but it does have serious power. It also does well on hard flooring because you can turn the roller off.

I had a Dyson Ball but was always disappointed in it. Friend recommended the Shark so I got one. Of course I had to do a direct comparison so vacuumed my condo with the Dyson and got my normal results, then the Shark. I filled the canister on the first go. The 3 years of grossness that the Dyson left behind was surprising.

I own two Dysons and a Miele C3. I've had the Dyson Ball for about 12 years. I hated emptying the thing because of all the dust, etc, forcing me to always take it to the outside trashcan, which cut down on vacuuming in the winter and in the rain. Based on many, many recommendations I got the Miele and the powerhead jammed with pet hair within the first few minutes. "Not a problem, I'll just pull the roller and cut the hair off", I thought. The damn thing is not designed to be serviced except by a repairman. Seriously, even for hair wound up on the roller bar. After spending a couple of hours taking apart and putting it back together, I 3D printed an adapter to accommodate my Dyson tangle free turbine, which handles pet hair with practically no issues. That is a pretty good combination, to be honest, but that Dyson head is only about 4 inches wide, resulting in a lot of push/pull over the carpet. Plenty of suction from the Miele which, other than the servicing issue, I think is a good vacuum, but seriously over-priced--just like most Dysons. But after 5 years of the Miele-Dyson combo, I researched to see if the was anything new to tackle pet hair and found Dyson had improved things while Miele appears stuck. Enter the Dyson V15 Detect. I have not touched the Miele since I got the V15 a year ago. Good battery, good suction, handles pet hair way better than the old tangle-free turbine head and I can pull the roller bar, clear the wound up hair and be vacuuming again in less than 5 minutes. I still have the Miele and I should probably do a test with a clean bag and see how much of anything the V15 is missing (since the V15 will get all the pet hair). There are definite advantages to being corded and using bags, but those same things are also negatives in many circumstances. With the V15, I am less reluctant to vacuum and tackle patches of pet hair with vigor. With the Miele, I am pretty confident it is removing plenty of fine dust with the HEPA filtering and changing a bag is cleaner than emptying the V15 (which is far better than the old Dyson ball canister). I like my V15 for now. I'd love to see something better for pet hair from ANYBODY in the next 5 years, but especially from the robo-vacuum folks.

The ones left by the previous cleaner. A Dyson Ball and what seems to be a Dustbuster with a handle made into an upright on a 6 ft cord lol it’s torturous. For my other clients I bring my own vacuums, but this family prefers the house supplies everything.

I find it works great. I slap that bad boy on boost and go to town. I got 4 animals and hardwood floor. It also will literally change the color of carpet as it goes over. I also had a dyson ball and that thing sucked the sand out from under the subfloor. Ive been disappointed with kirbys and sharks though.

I confess my first pet Dyson was awesome (pre ball) #1 with suction and ease of attachments. After 9 strong years of use I decided to "upgrade". The second pet Dyson wasn't amazing, I didn't like the ball or how I had to remove items to get to the hose attachments etc, BUT it did great on carpets and tiled floors. After 4 years of use, it was destroyed by diatomaceous earth (lessons learned, it goes through the filter and builds up in the motor). I decided to go a different route with 2 different branded vacuums, stick style and push. Over the past two years with pet hair everywhere, they were ok but even cleaning filters they started to smell. This past Dec we decided to go again with Dyson and it's amazing how much it pulls up and gets all the hair and tracked dirts (we are in dusty NM). Still don't like some of the ball features but I am really glad to have one back in the house. My 2 cents.

I have a Dyson Ball and I hate it, its always clogging and the wand feature is poorly implemented and difficult to use. I'm leaning towards a canister vacuum to replace it.

Yup. My wife bought into the hype a few years back and bought a Dyson ‘Ball’. The thing is so weak. Also, I hate how there’s not a single component on it that isn’t made from plastic. It’s just a matter of time until something cracks and/or breaks. Fortunately, we still have my old Kenmore vac (from the ‘90’s) and that baby certainly does suck (in a good way). I’ve come to the conclusion that, when it comes to vacuums, the heavier it is means it’ll likely have more suction power. That, and the main vacuum tube/shaft should be made from metal.

Similar exerience with my dyson ball (not sure of the model). So much more user friendly than the felix I own that the folks (mostly salesmen) love here.

I had the old dyson ball for like 15 years before giving it away because I moved into a house without carpeting. Great vacuum and tons better to use than the ergonic mess called a felix (which I own) and every canister vac like my henrys (yes I have 2). Lot of misinformation here like needing to buy hepa filters every 6 months? Everyone talks about dyson marketing but how about all the miele/sebo shills trolling this reddit?

I had a Shark and loooooved it at first. It lost suction after about a year. I took it completely apart and cleaned every single serviceable part I could-to no avail. Major disappointment. My Dyson ball is 6 years old and going strong. That thing is one bad bitch. No idea how the cordless ones fare.

I got a dyson ball and that shit was ass. Returned it less than a week later and got a shark instead

Build quality felt cheap and flimsy and the suction was meh. Also the hose would try to retract as soon as the vacuum was turned on, so it was truly a workout to use it

We got a labrador many years ago and we called him Floyd. Such a beautiful dog. But we should have called him blizzard! Because so much hair would come off him when he moulted. Our vacuum cleaner, an Electrolux, was just not doing the job. So we went out and brought a Dyson ball vacuum cleaner. It did a really good job and still is about 20 years later. At the very least I'd say make sure any vacuum cleaner you buy has a rotating brush.

I’m sorry, the cordless Dyson isn’t that great for carpet/rugs so I wouldn’t rank it that high. The attachments are excellent for their specific uses like couch/mattress, the nozzle for corners but I have the old school Dyson Ball vacuum cleaner and it’s sooo much better for rugs. Vacuum’s with cords for the win!

I've never had a miele, but i certainly don't buy dyson because it's convenient. They're expensive as hell. I buy dyson because they work reliably for years. I replace the filters every year or two, and otherwise i just don't even think about them. I have a handheld and a plug in dyson, and they have seriously won me over. There's lots of options that are similar on the market, but i've never found any other vacuum that works that well

There’s no single vac that does it all except for maybe a super heavy super expensive traditional canister like a Miele. For an everyday hard floor vac (and light carpet vac) the best is Levoit on Amazon that's about $200. It's a Dyson-like machine that overcomes a lot of the longtime design issues with Dysons (such as, it can stand up by itself -- what a concept). But we also keep the Dyson around for a more aggressive carpet vac when we need it. We also have a Eureka boss -- powerful and dependable small canister vac. And a monster shop vac in the basement. Dysons are great but they're really expensive and their air filtering system is overly complicated and tends to lose efficiency. If you own a Dyson, watch all the available Youtubes on how to clean it with pressurized air so you can keep it running. Given the competition from newer manufacturers like Levoit, I think it's going to be harder for Dyson to justify selling floor vacs for close to $1000.

You want a bagged vacuum. I've had a Dyson, a Bissell, a Dyson knock off, the LG A9, the Miele Duoflex - all bagless and all very loud. My cats will scatter if I turn them on. My bagged Miele on the other hand... they don't even bother getting up from their naps.

I just asked about how often I’d be buying bags for a sebo with two high shedding large dogs, (similar probably too a gsd and 3 (if long hair cats) I would probably be replacing the bag every week. (Actually more than that because I didn’t tell people I also have 3 cats haha) Someone with a husky commented that they replace the bag 1.5-2 times a month. Calculating that cost for two dogs is another 210 a year in bags (probably more for me) I am taking that into account with  replacing a vacuum that died (Dyson) but it doesn’t have a bag or a Sebo that has a 10 year warranty but I will have probably bought 2-3 dysons in that time period with the amount I’d be spending on bags. I haven’t decided yet 🙃 but thought I’d share the numbers.
