Dyson Ball Animal 2

Best Vacuums for Cleaning Carpet

CR’s take: The 17-pound Dyson Ball Animal 2 earns a Very Good rating for carpet cleaning and aces our bare-floor and pet-hair tests, too—a good thing, considering its name. Emissions are clean, so this vacuum won’t spew debris back into the room (although emptying the bin can stir up some dust). It ...

My Dyson Animal 2 feels very flimsy and leaks dust at every seal, especially where the intake to the dust bin is. My Miele does not. Check out this video on the Miele CX1 (my YouTube video). [URL REMOVED]

Do NOT buy this vacuum if you have carpet or do not have aspirations of extreme fitness.

The media could not be loaded. I hate this vacuum so much I actually get anxiety when I need to use it.

We have a Dyson Animal Ball that we use for vacuuming carpet and run our knockoff rumba every day on the hardwood. It's a great system!

Cleans Better Than I Thought Possible

This is a difficult rating for me. I am frankly astounded by the cleaning power of this vacuum cleaner. I’ve never seen anything come even close to it. It makes my previous cleaner look like it has asthma and a leaky hose to boot. Here’s my rating broken down by category. Performance As I said in th...

Horrible. Maybe I got a lemon

Horrible. Maybe I got a lemon, but this thing doesn't work. Got this specifically because we have animals. It gets jammed and clogged CONSTANTY -- like every single time we use it. It doesn't pick stuff up. Constantly having to turn it over, pull out hair, unclog the tube, and it still does not work...
