When my old Dyson needed replacing I didn’t hesitate to replace it with another. However, this has proved to be a very disappointing and frustrating choice- so much so that I felt compelled to submit a review for the first time. Although it works well enough in hard floors and us easy to clean I find it useless on carpets where it all it does is ‘blow’ rather than actually suck especially when it comes to fluff or heavier pieces of dirt. In the end I have to vacuum a very large carpet area with the ‘stick’’ attachment. The carpets never really...Read more

As a product ambassador, we DO get very excited to try out new products, however, our standards are very high because we are fussy and usually by top notch home electrical equipment and as such, want to be impressed before we start jumping up and down with excitement. This is our 3rd Dyson. Why? 2 Reasons, really. It seems to be the market leader when it comes to bagless technology and our first one is a really old model. Still works, but not the greatest thing since sliced bread, as it was our first Dyson purchase and we bought a relatively in...Read more

This is a review from your average household user, so I wont go into the technical side about the vacuum.

We have an antic vacuum cleaner that still uses bag, which is a nightmare to purchase and replace all the time. We also have a bag less stick vacuum that does the job easily but has a very short battery life and takes forever to recharge.

We were very excited to start using one of the latest Dyson Cinetic Big Ball Animal+, which looks very fashionable and high tech. It was well packed in the box. There were so many parts, which we did ...Read more

Opening the Dyson gives you an impression of quality and attention to not using Styrofoam which is always good for the environment and the packing down the delivery box. All the plastics have a quality feel and look with the iridescent canister top looking really special. Everything is included with the Animal + that you could want for for the average pet owner as well as a dog brush that seems like a good idea, only if your furry friend is not afraid or excited by the sound of the vac. My pet couldn't sit still long enough to have any real use...Read more

As a Product Ambassador, full disclosure this product was provided by Dyson for my full review. As with all my reviews, I'm concise, fair and most importantly, unbiased. I believe in letting others know what they may be getting with their hard earned money. The good, the bad and the ugly. I've found extremely long reviews, people may skim, too short and they don't get enough info. I hope this will help you make that decision to purchase.

Having not been a biggest fan of Dyson in the past, this Cinetic Big Ball Animal + was surprising, in a g...Read more

This vacuum cleaner was provided to me at no charge for the purpose of this review, under the ieatwords Product Ambassador scheme. This is my unbiased assessment of the machine.

First Impressions
First impressions are a mixed bag – Gaudy colour scheme; extendable wand is thick grey plastic, looks cheap and flexes in use; on-off switch and cord rewind button are small and look flimsy; on the positive side, there are a lot of extra tools included; the hose now detaches easily from the machine, unlike older Dysons. The instruction book is wo...Read more

On opening the box I was pleased to see no Styrofoam packing, all major packing was cardboard. The various components seem to be made of a high quality plastic, with a soild feel to them all. The diagrams for the assembly were easy enough to follow although there was no mention of the smaller tools. I was able to look up the various tools and how to use them on the internet.

The tools and hoses have a very positive lock when assembling and are easily pulled apart when required by pushing the red release button, far better idea than just a fr...Read more

This is an Ambassador Review which means I was given the Dyson Cinetic Big Ball Animal + free in exchange for writing this review regardless of if the review was good or bad.

Upfront:
I like using this vac a lot, well designed, great manoeuvrability and easiest vac I have used. Only has a couple of minor flaws. If over many years this machine proves to be reliable and robust I’d give it an extra half star so it would be 4.5 instead of 4.
Having used this vac in my home for 3 weeks for FREE and gotten to know it, AND had I been in the market f...Read more

We all have heard about Dyson and its vacuum cleaners. We have also seen them stand out with their bright colours and we know of their reputation as being at the top end of the vacuum cleaner market. Are they worth the hype? Going by the results of this particular vacuum cleaner, I would say yes.

First impression of this vacuum cleaner is that it appears very plastic. Everything is made of plastic, including the wand (or tube, depending on what some people call it) which on many other vacuum cleaners is often metal. It is, however, robust plas...Read more

The Dyson Cinetic Big Ball Animal is a great, solid vacuum cleaner for the whole home. I own a Dyson V10 Absoulte+, so my initial impressions will firstly cover the Big Ball on its own, and then compare it to the Dyson V10.
Out of the box, the Big Ball looks fantastic.
It cleans the carpet excellently, and because it runs through the power point, the power and suction are great. The normal head does a good job at my thick wool carpet, and for the corners, the corner attachment is more than enough. My carpet is really thick, and the Dyson has no...Read more

We’ve had this vacuum cleaner for a month now and have been very happy overall. I’ve included some pictures of some of the included accessories I talk about with the names of the tools (I found these names online on various websites, so I hope they’re correct)

Pros
- All the accessories click together easily. The connections are great, this was a pet peeve of mine with my previous vacuum, but these accessories click together and come apart without any effort. Just a click of a button which is great for setup and storage
- All the moving bits ...Read more

As a ieatwords.com.au Ambassador I have been given the Dyson CY22 Cinetic Big Ball Animal + Vacuum cleaner to test and review. At the end of my review I get to keep the item.

I would like to assure the reader of this review that this review, despite the reward of a free product is a totally unbiased and genuine review of my experience.

The Dyson CY22 Cinetic Big Ball Animal + Barrel Vacuum Cleaner can be purchased from the Dyson Australia online shop for $749.00.

The machine was designed in England, which is prominently advertised all o...Read more

I'll start by saying that if you want a bagless vacuum cleaner, The Dyson Big Ball Animal + is just about the best you can do.

But, and there are a few buts, the cleaner is not perfect, and although Dyson's multi cyclonic dust separation system is legendary, and really has not been replicated well by any other manufacturer, the system is not perfect, and compared to a bagged cleaner, actually takes a bit of effort to maintain.

With a well designed bagged cleaner you simply pop the bag out, throw it in the bin, and install a new bag. During th...Read more

I own three long haired animals so I was excited to try this animal + directly on the animals plus the hair they are shedding all over the house at this time of year especially.

I find I am vacuuming every two days so this vacuum got a very good trial. I had a bit of a problem trying to do the online warranty, it wouldn't accept the number for some reason so I will have to ring them about that.

I love Dyson. I already own an old DC23 stowaway with a turbohead and was looking for another vacuum that is easier to use as My DC is heavy and clunk...Read more

I live in an apartment with a toddler, a husband that sneeze every morning and a cat, so it's important that the vacuum have great suction. I became a fan of Dyson ever since I bought the Dyson V6 Animal+ 3 years ago. But this Dyson Cinetic Big Ball Animal + is one of a kind. The vacuum is beautifully designed. Its colours and shape reminds me of a beautiful peacock. I have no problem putting the vacuum together, the instructions manual is simple and clear. I like the different heads for different surfaces. We have laminate timber floor, tiles,...Read more

I gather that there are Dyson people and anti-Dyson people. Those against Dyson complain about the price of their products and with vacuums the noise level being excessive, amongst other things. If you're an anti-Dyson person, you may as well move on, as I'm not going to be able to sell you this vacuum. This is an excellent vacuum in lot's of ways, but it has some of the same Dyson foibles that some of their other models suffer from, but which committed Dyson customers are apparently blind to!

I do find the high-pitched whine of the vacuum...Read more

Wasn't really sure what to expect, have never used a Dyson before but of course knew of it's reputation. Was it all just clever marketing or was there something to it?
Absolutely converted and love my Dyson!

Unboxing
Initial impressions was that it was very small, and lightweight enough to lift easily with one hand. Opening the box is a little intimidating as there are twelve bits and pieces to put together, many of which are hard to determine what they might be for. There is a small amount of carboard and plastic packaging in the box, but no...Read more

My mother had a bagless vacuum cleaner back in the 70’s. It was a complete monster to empty ... and guess whose job it was!! Being environmental people we have patiently waited for a decent contemporary bagless to come to market, but were wary of making sure the time was right, given those awful memories. Fast forward a generation ... and up steps Dyson!!

We were provided with this model to review under the Ambassador programme, and hoo boy what a difference some evolutionary time makes!! The vac was beautifully packed, using almost exclusivel...Read more

Overall my Dyson Cinetic Big Ball Animal+ is a great Vacuum, heres why i love it;
• It does what it’s made for!
This vacuum claims to be powerful and... It is! When i first opened it, i vacuumed what i thought was a clean bit of carpet, but when i looked at the clear barrel it had a lot of dust in it! This is great news for asthmatics or people with allergies.
• It does not tip
If you pull it around awkward corners, a usual vacuum would tip over and you would have to stop what you’re doing to put it back up... this is very frustrating and can...Read more
