Bought this for my mum to use in her little townhouse.
Perfect size for her needs and it work really well. It's light for her to hold and take it up and down the stairs. The only problem is because it's so small and also has such good suction she has to empty after every room, depending.

She uses it on carpet and on her floorboards, it does a great job on both. The head fits just under her couch so she can finally get under there without moving the whole thing.

It doesn't seem to have the power of our old full size Dyson but I am happy to trade power for manoeuvrability.

Not as powerful as I hoped
Not as good as some of the older models
Bit pricey but shop around
Good on carpet n tiles
Looks good but bulky
Noisy and gets a lot of blockages. Easy to empty but flimsy sometime it can fall open without warning when emptying it

The suction power on this vacuum cleaner is out of this world!
I have replaced and gone through so many vacuum cleaners from various companies. This is because I was hesitant to pay such a big price for a vacuum cleaner. But I am completely satisfied with the purchase because it cleans all my floors (Carpet/Tiles) very well. Its so easy to empty the dust bin aswell.

Also the Dyson Warranty Service is outstanding! I accidentally dropped the Vacuum and broke a plastic screw holding the wheel on. But Dyson told me to take it to the service center and fixed it in 2 business days.

I purchased the Dyson Big Ball Allergy about six months ago. Since then we have adopted a Jack Russell dog. This vacuum cleaner really struggles with lifting dog hair. I am also disappointed with general dirt pick up compared to the Shark cleaner that I used to have. I was expecting much better performance

Hi...I was looking for a cleaner that could help take out more from carpet. I was so surprised with the amount of dirt/dust coming up especially when I actually thought the carpet was clean to begin with.
The suction is great...its easy to move around and good on both carpet and vinyl.

I have no problem recommending this product....i am very happy

We were always hesitant to get a Dyson because of the price. With a new baby, a car, and carpeted floors however we made the investment. It’s definitely be worth it as it’s a far superior vacuum to any one I’ve ever owned. It really gets the dust and dirt out of the carpets. The bagless canister is easy to use and you save money not needed to replace the bags. No filters to clean either is a huge bonus. I recommend Dysons now to anyone in the market for a vacuum.

Does the job and removes a lot of the dust issues that I had. The price is OK but the machine seems a little lacking in robustness and has taken a couple of knocks so far that it has not done well with. I would recommend it for allergies, but the better models probably do the same job.

It cost $799 and as mentioned in another review, the brush spits the dirt out when it is full with debris. Very poor suction and takes longer to vacuum.
On the floor boards the power of the brush blows the dirt away. It is not suitable for floor boards.
I had to empty the dirt three times when cleaning the house. My home is only 32 squares.
My old $189 vacuum was only emptied once every two months.

Suction good on carpet, on tiles it seems to blow all light particles away.
Easier to manoeuvre than my last Dyson, but its so noisy I stopped using it, I am using my old Dyson again.
My area is very large. I got carpet and porcelain tiles.
I am very disappointed, I was expecting it to have a very quiet motor, maybe it's a faulty one.
Has anybody else got the same problem

Carpet lino awful to push with the turbo head very hard on your back 18sq house Terrible cheap plastic rubbish compared to my last one i bought 18 years ago this one wont last as long hard to empty and close i even picked it up to empty it once and the bottom fell down dust everywhere the clip is rubbish as well hate it so much will never buy another grrrr

I brougt this vacuum cleaner after i had very expensive one before like the one made overseas i had nothing but trouble but when I brought this one is much better it light easy to use clean very good very quiet and don't have to pay for bag its bagless

The Dyson Cinetic Big Ball is very disappointing, not worth $799, we really should have got a new motor fitted to our 8-9yrs old Dyson DC23. The quality and functions are far less than the DC23, it requires FULL dis-assembly to store in the same place as the DC23, the DC23 did not require any form of dis-assembly for storage.

before I bought this machine, I could never clean the carpet properly! thanks to this Dyson Big Ball Allergy Barrel Vacuum, I manage to clean the carpet thoroughly because I have a cat as a pet. being bagless also means that I never have to replace the bag and it has many cyclones in it to prevent the loss of suction. Yes I agree the price can be quite pricey for some people, but once you try the Dyson, you never want to buy other brands.

Happy with this vaccum.
Price is a bit over my budget, but it's a good product and has longer warrenty compare to other brands.
Not hard to maneuver most of the time, however, it does get caught at the doorframe when you try to drag it to another room because of the ball shaped body.

Electric cord has good length for me to vacuum the living room and the kitchen next to it without plugging it to different powerpoints (I live in an apartment).

More noisy than I expected. But I got used to the noise quickly after using it a few times. I like the different types of brushes to suit areas like ceiling, corners etc.

Overall a good vaccum for the household.

I purchase this vacuum this year from the good guys and I'm very happy with its powerful sucking, I own similar vacuum with different brand they state on it as its higher voltage but its not even half of the power of this Dyson vacuum, its great vacuum and I highly recommend it to everyone

Every time i buy another one of these there are subtle but significant improvements. Dyson never stands still. Now self uprighting, significantly lighter than earlier models, with improved tooling and no filters to change or clean. Combined with Dyson's known unparalleled suction,competitive price and no quibbles efficient service why would anyone settle for anything less

after having our vacuum for a year i've decided that if I needed a new vacuum i wouldn't buy another dyson as it doesn't seem to clean our carpet as well as it used to.The hard floor tool works well on the lino but the power head doesn't seem to work so well now.
