Perfect, can't live without it

published

No just be careful when going around corners or upstairs. Easy to use and has its own dust bag which I like as you don't have to buy new bags all the time. I wouldn't have any other vacuum cleaner other than a Dyson which I had before so this is my second one.

Love it!!!

published

I have not had one fault with mine! From day one to now it hasn’t missed a beat.
Absolutely perfect for my floors! Two kids can get pretty darn messy and this makes cleaning a breeze. The suction is perfect for both tiles and carpet. I highly recommend getting one!

not worth the additional cost

published

Brought a Dyson 7 years ago and the machine all of a sudden stopped working after only 6 years of use.
Went and brought a new cinetic big ball to try the and give the brand one more chance and yesterday the plastic housing all of a sudden broke off. Good suction but not worth the premuim cost. Should be more durable.

Early days but quite happy so far

published

I have only vacuumed once since purchasing this cleaner. The cleaning job is excellent, picking up lots more than my previous cleaner, and the idea of not having to purchase and replace bags is very appealing. My comments are cautious at this stage as I am finding it strange to use physically. The movement of the vacuum head on the stalk is not smooth and it seems that I have to lift it off the carpet to go back and forth which is quite difficult. This is probably due to such good suction but I have set it to minimum and am using the "breather" on the stalk and it is still hard to move, so I will revisit this review again in a few months time.

This is my second Dyson, they are the best Vacuum that I have owned.

published

This is my second Dyson as I found it was brilliant with my carpets, Polished Floors and tiles. I also use it with the brush to clean my blinds, furniture, dusting etc., my old Dyson is now used in the shed. It now gets used to Vacuum plaster dust up and dirt in the shed, still the motor keeps going. I do not have any trouble with my Vacuum tipping over. Would not buy another brand of Vacuum when this one eventually needs replacing.

It has some downsides..

published

The overall sucking/cleaning power of this vacuum is great, it cleans very well, but I do have concerns with the ball. Although the machine never tips over, and always rolls itself onto the right side, it gets caught on an awful lot of stuff. When manouvering through tight spaces, it gets stuck on absolutely anything in its path. Although this doesn’t affect its performance, it’s quite annoying constantly having to readjust it.

Simply the best!

published

I didn't expect Dyson to drop such a bombshell of technology I'm just so amazed by the power Dyson have crammed into the Dyson Cinetic big ball. Compared to my old hover this one just puts all others to bed with it's powerful suction. Best product ever of dyson.

Amazing vacuum - exactly what I expected

published

This vacuum is brilliant!! Can I say that for one of the very few times in my very sceptical life, my expectations were surpassed.

Instant suction, and absolutely no loss of suction as promised. I have a fury cat, and the Dyson has no issues in licking up the fur.

The best part is that Dyson - as a company, are practical. They give you plenty of extra links and attachments with your purchase.

You won’t regret this vacuum.

Excellent for different types of flooring

published

I was skeptical about owning another Dyson mainly because Ive had to replace the sweeper head ($129!) and failing battery fails after owning their handheld version for just over 3 years. This cinetic ball has been great so far - it has simple head (not the rotating brush thing) which is easy on both timber and carpet (and picking up my long hair!). The cord is long enough that I don't have to replug elsewhere often. I just hope this one last a lot longer than 3 years otherwise I'll be ditching Dyson for good.

Great vacuum. Hose clinks

published

Great Vaccuum. Purchased about 2 years ago and we are glad we made this choice. Worth the money as we had spent a fortune buying cheaper machines and had to virtually buy one every year due to loss of succsion. This machine has consistent succsion. Great machine. Highly recommended for every family

Wonderful

published

So happy I could burst. The performance is amazing. Obviously is heavier than my Dyson stick vacuum but can vac the whole house with out needing to recharge it. I have a 3 lounge 5 bedroom house with multiple floor surfaces and I can vacuum the whole house without having to worry about changing attachments.

Made from the cheapest Plastic.

published

Had an upright & barrel for 15 years totally happy with both made from strong materials I went to buy a barrel for my Dad, I'm stunned today's models are rubbish & don't even come with a motorised head. Can't justify today's price for cheap made plastic & I can't buy a Dyson.

Amazing product

published

Very happy with this product, great power /suction. The noise is ok. We had other vacuums in the past n they’re too noisy.
It’s easyto maneuver although a bit heavy.still doesn’t disappoint us. We live in a townhouse so lifting it on to stairs in time can be heavy..
still would recommend

Worst Dyson I have used

published

Previously used the Dyson DC08, which was a solid, reliable good performer. This latest one has many design flaws in my opinion, the main one being the rubbish dirt removal from the canister, it's cumbersome, and dust tends to go everywhere if the small latch at the bottom doesn't engage. I have also noticed clouds of fine dust being ejected out of the rear motor vents on start up from time to time. The DC08 had a secondary foam filter that this model doesn't which may be the reason this happens. The flimsy wheels on the vac head also don't last too long before they fall off. Totally unacceptable !!!!!!!!

Has great suction sometimes its too hard to use if on max, has definitely made my carpets look clean and new, only problem is that I've had alot of static build up since using it and I've tried everything to stop it, if this problem was fixed it would be 5 stars.

Brilliant!!

published

This machine cleans every little bit out of the carpet and converts perfectly iver to hard surfaces.
Its power is second to none, it is teliable, lasts and lasts, it is easy to clean and packs away beautifully.
I had heard about these for ages then decided to have a go and have never looked back. I will never buy anything but dyson as its just so good.

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?

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.

Best wishes,

Shan
