The ball is lighter and easier to use. it sucks like mad and is easier to clean. The container for dust is a little smaller, but it seems more robust and is easy to take out and in.

The vacuum is stable however we get balls of fluff all over carpet. The head doesn’t seem to pick up mess on floor at all but rather moves it around. Seems that the head of vacuum moves and blows dirt around... vinyl head does same. Only head that works well is small one for car.We bought this as we thought it would make life easier for our mum but it hasn’t. Really disappointing.

The rotating head is not as good anticipated. It does not pick up visible dirt easily. Often it will blow items away from vaccuum. I have to keep going over the area several times before I am satisfied. The rotating head is useless on hard floors for the same reasons.
I bought a hard floor head (unfortunately this was not standard) but this also blows waste away from the head.
I purchased this because of its reputation. It is an expensive machine which I saved for. I am unlikely to recommend it to any one.

I have had my cleaner for just under two years and it has continuously had a high pitch squeal. I have had it in at Dyson and they told me that there is nothing wrong with it. As I reported this after 30 days it was basically too bad you are stuck with it. Also it doesn’t vacuum up the dog hair and I have been told I need to buy a different head. I would not recommend this vacuum. Buy another brand if you want your floors cleaned properly because they are very overrated.

Ok here goes..the carpet head is very noisy..the barrel is constantly getting stuck on corners and tips over.
They have changed the design of the attachments so you can’t use the ones from older machines..the new design has too many guides which makes changing the heads harder..you have to line up slots on the pipe with attachment slots...our major bug bear is that it now stinks of dog when we use it as there is no removable filter to clean. Also the handle material is too hard on your hands..a curved design would be much better..
I feel like the designers have forgotten about the end user.

I purchased this product a month ago ND started using it 2 weeks ago when I moved into my new place. It took a while to get used to as I had a backpack vacuum before. This vacuum suckes really well and manoeuvres easily into smaller places. Happy so far!

Animal love this monster. Let me start by saying this, Dyson has only gotten better with their product. Known for their incredible suction, this vacuum does not disappoint. While the canister capacity is not comparable to the uprights, this thing makes up for that shortcoming by the incredible suction it delivers. Mainly using this on hardwood floors, some rugs, and bedroom carpets, this vacuum is an absolute pleasure to use.

I love my Dyson, this is my second vacuum from Dyson. My boys have dust allergies and the Dyson is the best on the market for them.
Save a fortune by going bagless.
The only faults I do have is that the pipes thar go in to the vacuum is now half flat instead of full circle, hence it gets jammed a lot. It's hard to unblock it. Also it's not the best for vacuuming my shaggy rug, maybe there's another attachment for that ?
Over all I do stil love it :-)

Got a Dyson Cinetic Big Ball during mid year sales. So amazing . Love the extra pieces you can connect to it. Compacts nicely. Get's animal hair out of everything! Used it to get dog hair out of my car seats (had tried with many other vacuums) This one worked straight away

Got this vacume because our cat was dropping so much fur and other vacume cleaner did nothing. Dyson made the carpet look brand new, even the colour looked different! We had our carpet done by professional carpet people and they even commented on the cleanliness! Definitely recommend. Also very easy to use and takes no effort which l love.

We bought the Dyson Cinetic Big Ball Animal vacuum cleaner because we have a long haired German Shepherd. It is absolutely amazing. Pup’s hair is everywhere and the Dyson Big Ball just sucks it up no worries. It is powerful and has no issues picking up his hair both on floorboards and carpet. it’s easy and light to maneuver and the head fits underneath most of our furniture. We have quite a large house and the collector tube holds all of the hair and dirt from the house. Love it!

Very powerful vacuum can be hard to push if you don’t pull the trigger in my opinion a good users DVD would have gone down well and can be very tricky to empty but you’ll work that out after a few goes all in all great powerful unit i buy another one the wife loves it

I was told a lot about Dyson so I invested and bought one. Never regretted it since.. the suction is great! No more having to go over and over the same spot. It fees weightless and manoeuvres really well. Best investment I’ve made. Don’t think I will ever go another brand again. very happy

Happy with performance up until spinner stopped working now I’m using it without the head still good but not sucking as well does pick up animal hair really well Ian getting it fixed so it will be a great vacuum once again it comes with a lot of attachments which I find very helpful
