Our home is not just ours, it’s also our pet's and where there are pets, there’s fur! For as long as I can remember we have called upon our existing Dysons (DC44 Animal cordless and a much older DC19 canister) to help win the war against pet hair.

My experience with the new Animal+ has shown me that Dyson continues to innovate. It’s more powerful, more quiet and better in just about every way when comparing it to our existing fleet of vacuums.

The included accessories are plentiful, you receive the standard combo crevice & dusting tool, upho...Read more

I have had this machine for almost 2 weeks and been using it every few days to give it a thorough work out. It's easily taken care of several weeks, maybe even months, of dust, fur and hair build up. I attached some pics of the machine and my cat loving the pet brush.

My house has tile, wooden floors, rugs and some bare concrete and it's been great to use on every surface, with the right tool attached. Using the right tool attachment for the job is key to getting the best from this vac.

Recently we received a Dyson Cinetic Big Ball Animal+ as a part of Product Review’s Ambassador Program, so let’s start at the beginning.

1. Packaging and Documentation
It arrived in a sturdy cardboard box and packaging with minimal waste and no polystyrene; you can be highly confident of receiving a complete unit in good, undamaged condition.
I know there is an old adage that the user manual is for those who know no better, but in this case I sat down to read the documentation and found it to be inadequate at best; it featured a lot of repeate...Read more

So my new vacuum arrived, a Dyson Cinetic Big Ball, Animal+. Excitedly, like a little kid at Christmas, I opened it and went through the parts and read the instructions. I will say the instructions

So, let's start at the instructions. Mostly pictorial, but some very important information is printed. Initially, I had a few issues figuring out some of the pieces, but with some click and play, and a good read over a cuppa I had it sorted.

I will say up front, I have previously written a review for another brand of vacuum cleaner (Hoover), and h...Read more

First Thoughts: After the initial easy and fast setup which took less than 10-15 minutes to do once unpacked from its box to having it running and doing its job was great and was easy to get done with some hiccups trying to figure out how the tools holder would attach.

The aesthetics are nice and clean it looks huge but not, it easily roles along the ground with ease without issues on carpet and hard floors which is great, so you are not having to try and drag it along possibly causing damage to the hose.

What I liked: The ease of use to empt...Read more

The Dyson Cinetic Big Ball Animal + is a powerful vacuum cleaner, made obvious by the dirt, dust & debris it pulls off our family floors. It works excellently on our short pile carpet, and leaves our timber & tiled floor areas spotless. It looks great & sucks great, so go for it if you want one.

What I liked:
* Powerful suction, really! Compared to other bagged & bagless vacuums I have used, the Dyson is definitely top in class for sucking power.
* Extremely long and lightweight telescopic wand is very useful for getting into corners and rea...Read more

I was very impressed with the Dyson Big Ball Animal from the time I opened the carton.
The simple and neat way the contents were packed made it easy to remove and assemble the vacuum cleaner and use it.
It only took a few minutes to get everything going.
The quality and thought put into this unit is very impressive from first glance.
The attachments fit very well and are easy to connect and click together securely.
There are no loose fitting hoses or attachments; you have everything you could want for (normal) house cleaning supplied in the car...Read more

This is a great looking machine in a gorgeous purple colour.It comes with a wide range of accessories-rotating carpet head, hard floor head, stair tool.crevice tool/brush,pet hair tool and dog grooming tool. All the attachments click on and off with ease and the wand is very light, perfect for cornices, ceiling fans etc, it even reached up into the skylights and we have high ceilings! It also has a great reach and a low profile for getting under furniture. The barrel glides along nicely and will right itself if knocked over, although I would p...Read more

Dyson never disappoints across the integrity of function in its products and this vacuum cleaner is no exception. It delivers big time but there are some points taken away for me.

Out of the box it goes together quickly and with ease. In everyday use the attachments and empty bin are one click and super easy. No ongoing bag or filter management is a dream The vacuuming itself is powerful and well engineered. Not a speck left on the floors and furniture. It also really lives up to the claims of dealing with the pet hair like nothing else. The...Read more

The vacuum I had been using is an older Miele bagged cylinder model, about 13 years old. And the floor coverings in my unit are older carpets, lino tiles and ceramic tiles. I was asked to test the Dyson cinetic big ball animal plus through the product review Ambassador Program and it arrived just in time for the annual spring clean so got a very thorough work out every day for a week.

The first thing I noticed when I opened the box was how well all the components were packed, nothing rattled...Read more

Hi folks, I arrived home yesterday to find the dyson had been delivered. I unpackaged it, assembled it and put it to use for the first time last night. Based on the assembly, first use's and first emptying of the waste, I don't feel it's a value for money purchase. I think it's a failure as a pet owners vacuum which is what it's marketed purpose is and not the best value for money as a vacuum cleaner solely. I will update this once I've had it for longer but this is just about my first impressions.
I do wonder if I'm not comparing apples to ora...Read more

I recently got the Dyson Cinetic Big Ball Animial+ yesterday and couldn't believe the power of it let alone the design.

When turning it on to vacuum my carpet within living room the power of the suction was mind blowing. Never seen my carpet so clean within the amount of minutes. It was like getting a professional to do it but instead it was me.

Love the fact that when you go from Carpet to Tile which the setting change automatically where I too used it within the kitchen.

I'm a big believer on the design/colour of a product because if yo...Read more
