Wow ! Just WOW!!
This vacuum has exceeded my expectations!
As soon as it arrived i got it out and vacuumed the guest room! Which appeared to be very clean! However the amount of dust that was sucked up was mind blowing! I have over 5 cats and this vacuum just diminishes the fur and dust from the carpets! Its so powerful it sucks the carpet from the floorboards! I will never buy another brand of vac ever again!! Absolutely amazing!! Dont even look at the price this is an investment!

Bad on tiles
I regret buying this vacumm it is horrible on tiles, I have to go over the same spots alot and lift it up to pick up bulky dirt, the suction isn't very good on carpet and it keeps clicking and sounding like it's clogged when nothing is in it then I have to turn it on and off and it sounds normal again till I put it along then it makes the clogged sound again

Very powerful
We have always had ducted vacuum so we wanted a powerful vaccum. after reading several reviews chose to buy Dyson Big Ball. We have been very happy with it so far, we have a large house so quite a bit of vacuum is required every week. We only vacuum on carpet as we usually prefer to sweep the floor.

Beware if you have wooden floors!
Dyson barrel vacuums with the ball are great on carpet. BUT they are terrible on wooden floors once the swivelling ball underneath gets a bit worn - about 12 months. Once worn, the ball produces scuff marks all over the wooden floor. Will never buy one again.

Ouch, that really hurt!!
The Big Ball's telescopic handle fitting on the end of the flex hose poses a significant pinch risk. I hand minority pinched my skin before so was wary of it but tonight when trying to manoeuvre a brush end to clean an architrave above a door, the skin on my bicep got caught something terrible. Worse, I couldn't work out how to release the skin... I moved the telescopic section in and outward but was still trapped. Finally, logic told me it must have to move outward, which I did but the damage (to me) was done. If Dyson had better brush ends, e...Read more
specially hook shaped fittings for cleaning flat surfaces that are waist height or above, people like me wouldn't have to get the hose and fittings into contorted positions to clean things. In addition, while the suction of the Big Ball is good and the vacuum head that came with the machine is great for carpet it's next to useless for wooden and tiled floors. I've attached a pic of the pinch mark on my bicep, which is getting more red by the minute.Purchased in June 2021 at Harvey Norman for $450.00.

Disappointed!!
I had it for a couple of months and one of the ball covers came off. Couple weeks later the other side fell off. Can’t fix or put the covers back on as they are held on by plastic clips. Huge waste off $699. The suction is crap opposed to my 10 year old Dyson.
Dyson, you have lost this consumer. I got excited when I saw the garbage truck tip it in the back and drive away.
Miele all the way!!!

A Dyson at last
I bought the Big Ball Origin to use on my tile and carpet floors. The suction is great on both surfaces and we are really happy with it. Much better than cheaper models from other brands previously used.

Best Vacuum I have owned.
Really like this vacuum, this is my first Dyson. Super convenient to use, the collector bin empties out to trash without a hassle n without getting your hands dirty. Incredible suction and cleans really well.
Don't keep looking at other vacuums go get yourself one! Worth every Dollar.

I am so happy with my Dyson
I have always wanted a Dyson and over the years I’ve seen friends and family use there’s and loved the style and quality of the brand. I’ve just purchased mine and used it about 4 times, I’ve found that the suction is fantastic and the amount of attachments included is sufficient for my townhouse. I’m surprised at the amount of dirt and dust it picks up... makes me wonder how much I might be breathing in!

some improvements
we previously had the DC54 and so have had the opertunity to see the areas where the Dyson engineers have mad some mistakes and over engineered some areas and under engineered others. The DC54 had better tracking and ability to be pulled around corners due to the front V shaped sled front wheel assembly, we find this unit is really had to pull around a door jam! Although the new unit can self right I would prefer the better tracking ability of the previous model. The articulated handle is a perfect example of over engineering for no good reaso...Read more
n. the previous handle was just fine in all situations and now the extra weight just adds to the fatigue in the wrist area we didn't experience before. Maybe some people like to vacuum the ceiling every time they vacuum ... we don't ? The dust bin is greatly improved and was needed and there was lots of reviews in this area. The only thing they have missed is the flimsy little clip that holds the lid on, quite often the latch comes loose and if you don't grab the bin from both ends the bin opens itself all over the vacuum. My Mum also has the same vacuum and I have had to go and clean up the mess for her on several occasions...lucky I have an extra vacuum on hand to clean up the Dyson mess. There are some extra things added to this unit that were not needed but the issues above are the main ones. Otherwise, the turbine head is one of the best I have used and the suction is always good, there is no figures published about filtration and this is a bit of a downfall if you are an asthma sufferer, not that emptying any bag less vacuum over a bin is good for anyone with allergy issues . I just wish there could be some way to fix my bin issues.Purchased in November 2021 at Harvey Norman for $799.00.

We certainly wouldn't expect the bin to open on your machine unless you specifically press the red bin release button.

A SUPER SUCKER!
My Dyson BBO is a fantastic unit and super is the operative word used in describing it. It’s so easy to assemble and sucks up everything in its way that I vacuum over, it’s lightweight and so super quiet. It’s a super sucker and I just love using it!
It’s on par with my Dyson DC19 that I had for 14 years. The Dyson Big Ball Origin is a must buy if you’re looking.
Thank you Dyson for a fabulously hassle-free, no nonsense unit and thank you BigW for the sale price I paid for it, only $399.00.

Dyson Dynamite
Used tiles and carpet on this machine. Cleans perfectly on these surfaces, really sucks well on the carpets. If it tips over it rights itself. It is a heavier machine, but it does not deter from its performance. Deftly empties when you wish to empty it. Great too for vacuuming your car.

Dyson Big Ball
First time user. Loved it. Was curious to see what everyone was raving about. It is a heavier machine. But I prefer to at least carry it rather than pull it to save wear and tear on the hosing. Cleans well, so easy to use. Woth the weight

For great for me
I find this vacuum is too big and does not work well on my wooden floor boards. I find I have to lift the head up of the vacuum to pick crumbs up otherwise it will just push them around the floor. Carpet is performs a little better however I much preform a cordless. My vax cleaned my floor 100 times better than this dyson. It is now stored in my cupboard and only gets pulled out occasionally when i can be bothered to lift it up and drag it out!

Love my Dyson
I absolutely love my Dyson Bill Ball Origin vacuum.
It performs wonderfully, has great suction, corrects itself if it topples and finds dirt no matter what.
It comes with all the necessary attachments, looks stylish and is not too heavy
It is great for all surfaces and is not too noisy.

Damaged wooden floors
So dissapointed in this vaccuume, its scratched our wooden floors since day 1. Contacted customer care and was told it wasnt specifically for wooden floors (its a vacuumme, what else will I be doing with it than cleaning floors?!) and I'd have to pay for another attachment that won't damage my floors! What a crock! Terrible customer service!! Will be taking it back for a refund and never buying Dyson again

Excellent vacuum cleaner
I never looked back once I went Dyson. Great suction, great design, totally deserve the dollars spent. I recommend the wired one as you don’t have to count down the time the battery will run out.

I love vacuuming now!
Great vacuum, makes vacuuming the house seem like less of a chore. Great suction, no smell and it doesn’t blow dust in the air which means I don’t have to open the windows to air the house. Great for people with allergies.

Questions & Answers
Sandra Robinsonasked
I have a Dyson Big Ball and while it sucks ok without the head on as soon as i put the head on it blows!! I end up with dirt spread all over the floor and none in the vacuum. What is the solution to this?

Hi Sandra,
Thank you for reaching out.
Based on this, it sounds like there is a blockage or restriction in airflow through the machine which can cause this to happen.
For a Big Ball Origin, please remove the floor tool and thoroughly check the airways for anything caught prior to retrying the machine.
If you aren't able to locate any blockages or we can assist further, please reach out to [email protected] and our Dyson Experts will be more than happy to assist further.
