Dyson Ball Animal DC65

We had three vacuums in two years before we decided to spend the money and get a Dyson. Worth every penny. With two Greyhounds (who shed like crazy) and a baby who has just started crawling, we needed a Vacuum that would work everytime and remove all the dust, dirt, dog hair etc first time. This vacuum works great on the tiles and carpet with no need to change the head or push any buttons. Every single time we use the vacuum, we get our money's worth and the floors are visablly cleaner.
Totally recommend this product.

My wife wanted to buy it. We went and was choosing between two models. Ball animal model is easy to use. It is very powerful. Has two floor option- carpet and wooden floor. Also has attachments to clean lounges/ blinds etc. The only problem is it is a bit heavy to manoeuvre around. Otherwise all good.

This is the best vacuum I have ever had. Strong suction which leaves my carpet clean and the pile reinvigorated. Made my carpet feel like new again. Makes vacuuming enjoyable. Highly recommend.

AMAZZZZING WE HAVE A DYSON V8 and really like it for small
Quick cleans but need something bigger for the lounge room and for the dog fur.
Sucks so hard it pulls out first where you think is clean.
Obviously not good for long carpet like some people have suggested, but just do the research if it’s right for you.
Great machine for any surface. Easy to clean and empty

Absolutely amazing results every time you vacuum the carpet, especially when it looks clean. The results are astounding, even on timber and tile floors as well, value for
money easy to use

I have got this for few years now had issue with motor twice but as it was under warranty had it replaced
Good
# Does the job
# Decent serviceability
Cons:
# Motor burnout could be issue sometimes
# Decent customer service

Used on tiles and carpet this has great suction and collects all my animal hair and dust with ease . Upright model is great for any bad back. Easy to empty/clean

I bought this after MANY years with my previous sturdy, reliable Dyson. This one is lighter but feels more flimsy. It maneuvers well which is probably why it feels flimsier - more flexible. It is noisy and has incredibly powerful suction so smaller mats etc have to be cleaned with the hose and a tool, but that is not a major issue for me. The dodgy on/off switch WAS an issue though. I had to press several times for it to stay on. I put up with this for a while but when the brushes wore out early on the head and the motor burnt out, I sent it for repair. Which proved to be a huge and drawn-out saga.

This is the 3rd time I have to send it back to Dyson with in 1st year. This is not the first vacuum I have use. 1st time the motor died. 2nd time its lost all the suction. 3rd time it just stopped working. I live in a two bedroom unit and I paid $697 for this product. Also, rude customer service provided by [Name Removed] today while calling the Dyson Customer Service on 1800 239 766. The machine been received by Dyson 2 days ago, though the technicians havn't got time to check and inform me what's wrong with it this time. How come Dyson still sale this type of Vacuums to the customers which doesn't even work for a 1 year properly and charging $697 for that.

Find this machine hard to handle hurts my wrist when manoeuvring. Hard to use the extending plastic hose. Hose does not stay out when extended when machine is switched on. Heavy machine.

5 week old cleaner - wish I'd never purchased. Rang Dyson and they told me to contact the distributor.
Sure the Qantas store won't tell me how to fix the problem of the suction being too strong to push around my carpet. I empty the bin and have already cleaned the filters.

The suction is superior but the cord is difficult to manage as it is so long (some might see this as an advantage but to me it is a constant impediment. There is a screw in the hose that constantly clogs up (manufacturer was not helpful when I tried to problem solve) and you have to constantly empty the container.

But I’m writing this review to help others get the best performance with a few tips I’ve gathered through DIY. First of all, keep those filters clean and wash the dustbin. When your brushes won’t turn, watch the Dyson video on how to clean the floor plate and get out every bit of string and fibers. When my Dyson became hard to push I discovered I had reinstalled my filter in the ball upsidedown! Reinstalled corrrectly, tightened up the ball, and voila - my Dyson was once again racing across the carpet. Oh, and a tip from the manual, stretch the hose around the cleaner for awhile to loosen it up.

Used on tiles and low pile carpet. Suction was ok on tiles but never reached the pre sale hype for picking up dog hair (Staffy breed - fine short hair). Some parts didn't function periodically even though unit was regularly cleaned and maintained until its untimely demise. Not considered value for money given initial cost, ongoing performance and life span of the unit.

We were hesistant to buy a dyson at first. But happy we did in the end as this machine is definitely better than our old miele vacuum. The price is a bit steep. But overall we are happy and dont have to change bags which is good. Comfortable to operate and not too noisy.

A total waste of money! Before owning this vacuum My last 2 vacuums were Dyson, I loved them both. This one the quality has gone down hill, it's overall very cheaply made with inferior parts. It too hard to click it into place to make it stand up so it's constantly falling over. It doesn't suck properly even after constantly cleaning the filters. The tool attachment are very poor quality. Sadly I will never buy another Dyson product again the quality is not like their earlier models and there are lot better products now on the market for a lot better price.
