The Dyson Cinetic Big Ball Animal Canister is a great choice for those looking for a canister vacuum that offers ease of maintenance, minimal recurring costs, and great maneuverability. It has a shorter power cord than other canister vacuums, but it does well at picking up dirt and fur. However, it struggles with bulky debris and makes some noise when brought back towards the user. Additionally, its brush roll may not dig deeply into carpets.

The 5 Best Canister Vacuums - Spring 2022

Unfortunately, this vacuum really struggles with sucking up bulky debris, which gets pushed around by its floorhead and stuck near the opening of the head instead of being sucked into its dirt compartment. Its power cord is shorter than that of other canister vacuums like the NaceCare HVR 200 Henry. Still, it's a good choice if you're looking for a canister vacuum and prioritize ease of maintenance, minimal recurring costs, and great maneuverability

Loved it new - 2 years later, not so much

UPDATE: I decided to buy a replacement wand handle. It turns out that there's this plastic-and-foam gasket in the handle that had compressed (as foam does) over time, and that's where the whistle was coming from. The new handle arrived today - I verified that the new gasket is much thicker than my o...

Blah vacuum, but sadly, still the one that fits my needs best.

The suction is fine. I like this vacuum in general, but for the money, they could have come up with a design that keeps their typical customer base in mind a bit more. Maybe don't have individual engineers work on individual portions of the device, but on the entire machine. It feels like you had so...

I wanted to love it, but.....nope

I wanted a vacuum that didn't have any filters to clean/replace and could reach under my bed. I did do my research, but this vacuum is my first Canister vacuum and it's going to be my last. I'm going use it till I just can't bare it anymore. So you know what I was using before the Dyson it was a Sha...

No filter and great pickup power

We have indoor/outdoor dogs and live in the country. It really does pick up the dirt and fur. My complaint is that it makes a lot of noise and sometimes whistles when you bring it back toward you. I have had 2 other Dyson canister vacuum cleaners and never had that problem. This is by far the noisie...

My biggest complaint is that the cord is too short. I have to stop vacuuming and re-plug the vacuum four times just to do my upstairs living area. Plus it is not recommended to use an extension cord with this machine. Next, it takes quite a bit of effort to move the carpet attachment back and forth ...

Why 3 stars. This machine scares me. No, it's not difficult to use. Why it scares me is because the whole thing is cheap plastic. For the amount of money, I spent I expected more than plastic. The switch to turn it on is on a lever with a round disc of plastic. The hose feels like cheap plastic. The...

A good machine at its core with some maddening flaws

The vacuum itself is very quiet. The brush roll is louder than the vacuum motor. The vacuum is a great piece of technology but the brush roll, while fast, doesn't really seem to dig into the carpet and clean it deeply. Also when you run over small debris like a cheerio or something it wants to spin ...

Hold the canister tight when detaching to avoid spilling

Somewhat disappointed with the canister, I had it several times opening on detaching from main body, I had to clean up the mess around the machine it almost feels like a dead end of design. Like a prototype, I was expecting much than superior function with the canister. Now when I press detach I hol...

Powerful Dyson but Some Drawbacks

It’s a powerful vacuum and works well suctioning up dirt and all of the dog hair from our two Aussies. I love that there is the ability for the cord to retract automatically, and I like how they changed the mechanism for emptying the canister. The only downside for me is when I’m trying to vacuum my...
