Cinetic Big Ball Multi Floor

I have the Dyson big ball multi floor, when I use it on the timber floors it is leaving a rubber streak everywhere.
It looks like scratches but when I rub it comes away. I can’t really walk around the whole house afterwards rubbing off all the marks. I’ve tried adjusting the suction.
Has anyone else had this problem?

Cinetic Big Ball Multi Floor

I got Dyson Cinetic Big Ball and used for Carpet, and I am not totally satisfied. Looking at the reviews and comments, I thought I got the right vacuum, but, looks like I got wrong one to use for carpet. This model come with a flat head with blue rubber thing which makes it hard to drag as well.

Any idea, if this is the correct model to use for the carpet or I have to buy another accessories to get it working in carpet?

Dyson Team ..Dyson

Hi there,

Thank you for your query, we are happy to help.

We can confirm all Dyson Cinetic Big Ball machines are suitable for use on carpets and hard floors. The Musclehead of your machine will automatically adjust between the two surfaces. That being said, if you do find the head hard to push, we encourage you to move the red slider on the front of the head away from the "MAX" setting, this should make the machine easier to push.

I hope this helps, however if we can assist further, please email [email protected] and our Dyson Experts will be happy to assist further.

Cinetic Big Ball Multi Floor

I just bought multifloor. I had to hard push the muscle head to carpet. I tried to reduce suction to the lowest but still I feel like I’m dragging the head to the carpet. Does the blue thing on muscle head should be lower or closed in while on carpet? I feel like the blue thing on muscle head is down all the time.

Cinetic Big Ball Multi Floor

I have a Dyson cinetic big ball multifloor vacumm it is just over 12mths old and a few days ago I was vacumning and there was a yucky smell coming out of the back vents. What would be causing this? How do I get rid of it?

1 answer
Dyson
Dyson Team ..Dyson

Hi Carissa,

We are sorry to hear a smell is coming from your Dyson machine.

Should any form of liquid or damp enter the machine, this may cause it to harbour a smell. We recommend carrying out the following steps which may dispel any odour.

After emptying you may rinse the clear bin in cold water as per the instructions in your user guide, ensuring that no detergents are used. Please don't remove the bin seals whilst washing the clear bin and most importantly ensure that the clear bin is completely dry before placing back onto the machine. Please note that the cyclone top assembly, which attaches on top of the bin, must be removed and is not washable.

We also recommend to let the hose, floor tool, bin, cyclone and wand of your machine air out for 24-48 hours, ideally somewhere safe, dry and sunny.

This should help, however if we can assist further, please email [email protected] and our Dyson Experts will be happy to further assist.

Cinetic Big Ball Multi Floor

I just received and opened my Dyson Cinetic Big Ball and I am extremely disappointed with the suction. I have to go over the same spot several times and it still doesn’t pick up everything. My old dyson worked way better, but we lost it in a flood and can’t buy the same one anymore! Did I receive a faulty one or is it really just this bad?

Cinetic Big Ball Multi Floor

I bought my cinetic big ball multi floor Dyson from Harvey Norman in February this year but I've found it to be very disappointing. I've had 2 Dysons previously, an upright and a barrel type and was extremely happy with them. Both easy to empty. I chose this one because there's no need to wash any filter but I think that's just gimmick. This flimsy plastic sliding idea is not good at all. The first time I went to empty this one, the bottom catch gave way and dust and dirt went all over the floor. Each time I have to make very sure it has clicked in properly because it nearly always doesn't. Now the sliding mechanism has become stuck and it is very hard to push it down and then hard to push back up again, (and then make sure the flap has closed properly). I wonder if I should take it back to Harvey Norman. Would they replace the dust cylinder? Or would a new one do the same thing? I've read where others have said the bottom flap doesn't always shut properly.

Hi Jennyette, I have not had any problems with my Dyson vacuum. I generally take out the extended warranty when I purchase goods like this. I know from experience having had problems with a washing machine purchased from Harvey Norman that they are only too happy to assist when problems arise. I would take it back and explain the problems you are having. I am sure they would be only too happy to either have your vacuum repaired or replace it. There is so much competition in the industry that they will want to keep their customers happy. I hope this helps Jennyette and good luck. Regards Jenny

Cinetic Big Ball Multi Floor

Before I use the Philip vacuum cleaner $140 but the sucking strength is very strong when I take out the head to use the pipe only but my Dyson Big ball multifloor only has one mode, can not make it stronger and when take the head out to use the pipe only like the Philip, it sucks weakly that the little things can not go in if it's deep enough but the Philip one can. Sometimes the place does not need the head, do you have anything stronger than this and can adjust the speed or the strength of the machine? Thanks.

Hi Sophia,

Thank you for your query.

While the motor speed of the Dyson Cinetic Big Ball Multi Floor is set to go at one speed, we don't anticipate you'd have any trouble with the suction.

If your machine isn't working as you believe it should, please email our Dyson Experts via [email protected] and we will be more than happy to help.

Do you use another attachment on it when you take the everyday head off? I like the long flat kind of one to do along my edges etc I find it gets great suction better than just the hose itself because it is a smaller area.

Hi Jay,

Thanks for your question.

The Cinetic Big Ball Multifloor has one head called the Musclehead that automatically adjusts to suit the floor surface. There aren't separate heads for hard floor and carpet for this machine. We are assuming that you might have a different model that has two main heads or that you are having issues with the Musclehead.

So we can discuss your concerns, please email [email protected] and our Dyson Experts will be in touch to assist.

We look forward to hearing from you.

Is there an adaptor for Cinetic big ball multi floor to fit a DC19Y attachments there was one in the box but doesn't fit DC19Y attachments?

1 answer

Hi Kathy,

Thank you for your question.

The adaptor that comes in the box is designed to allow some previous model tools to be used on your new machine. The DC19 had quite a unique connection and unfortunately this and all adaptors will not allow you to use the tools on your Dyson Cinetic Big Ball Multifloor, apologies for any disappointment.

Cinetic Big Ball Multi Floor

I have a cinetic big ball Dyson multifloor but I do not know if the blue part on the musclehead is supposed be down while doing timber flooring or up. Anyone?

1 answer
Dyson
Dyson Team ..Dyson

Hi there,

Thanks for your question.

The purple seal around the underside of the musclehead floor tool should be in a down position when the machine is switched on and the floor tool is on a hard floor surface, it should retract upwards when on carpet. Please note that you can also adjust the suction using the 2 red sliders on the top of the head.

Please note that the suction needs to be going through the head for it to be able to adjust.

If you need further assistance please reach out to our Dyson experts at [email protected] including your contact details, a description of the issue and the machine's serial number and we will be more than happy to help.

Cinetic Big Ball Multi Floor

We recently purchased a Big Ball Multi Floor. It is difficult to push on the carpet even with the suction adjustment on the head at minimum.
My wife was able to use our old turbo head with no problem, but she will struggle with this new vacuum.
Please advise a fix or, alternatively, state Dyson's policy regarding refund/replacement under "fit for use" provisions?

Thanks,

Hi Keith,
I have found the same thing. Hard floors are great but carpet is more awkward. I've found if you don't push as hard and angle the vacuum it becomes a bit less resistant. I also use the motorised head from the car cleaning kit which is so much better. I'd contact Dyson directly and state your problem. They are always very reasonable.

Cinetic Big Ball Multi Floor

I have just bought a Dyson big ball Cinetic multi floor and have immediately found a problem with the design. There is a plastic obstruction shaped like a circle that has been divided into thirds in the top of the pipe that you attach the multi floor thing to. This immediately catches hair and then everything else and causes it to block. Why would there be anything in that tube pipe? Obviously this would catch things!
Please reply in a hurry as I am about to return this vacuum because of this problem.

Hi Kayleen
I just checked mine. Same thing - with fluff all over it. I have no idea what this is or why it's there. I'd suggest you get a refund if u can. I am going to try tomorrow. Dyson offered to pay for me to send machine to them to check but I have completely lost faith that this machine will function. Dyson are supposed to be a reputable brand but this machine is complete crap.

Hi there,

We have tested the machine and floor tool to work on timber floor and carpets. As with any machine we would recommend to check the base of the floor tool before each use to ensure that any possible wear or tear or damage is not transferred to the floor surface.

If your timber is particularly soft or easily marked we would recommend to purchase our dedicated hard floor tool to suit the Big Ball range

Hi Annie...yes, I am with you on that one. That is what I am finding too, the dirt/dust collects at the back part of the unit instead of going to bottom part of the barrel and I too am finding that I am emptying after every single vacuum because if i don't the suction power is significantly decreased and its funny because the company advertise that the suction will never lose its power...yes it does, just after vacuuming one room. We live in a house of 2 families...my parents and my husband and myself. I vacuum our part of the house which is our bedroom and ensuite and just doing that the vacuum loses suction. I am with you, I actually want my money back...sorry but Dyson is not all they claim it to be. I am very disappointed. I have yet to contact them directly once I get the chance to.

Dyson
Dyson Team ..Dyson

Hi all,

When dust enters the bin, it is spun out of the airflow. At the bottom of the dust bin, there are baffles to catch the dirt/hair/fluff and keep it down. If it weren't going to be caught, these would keep spinning and negatively affect the performance of the machine.

The way your dust bin fills depends on some factors, primarily the type of dust and dirt, and also the speed in which the particles enter the dust bin. If the majority of your debris is smaller, such as dust particles, sand, grit, etc.like, it is more likely to evenly fill the bin bottom to top (think like a glass held unevenly under the tap).

If more carpet fibres, hairs threads, etc. are sucked through the machine, the fibres can catch onto each other as they spin through the dust bin. The baffles at the bottom will catch them, and they will tend to bundle together and build up and out from the one spot.

If you'd like to discuss this further, please email [email protected] or call us on 1800 239 766. Our helpline is open Monday - Friday 8am - 8pm and Saturday - Sunday 8:30am - 4pm.
