Dyson Ball Animal 3 or?
Just bought a Dyson animal 3+ at Costco did I screw up
Cinetic Big Ball Animal Canister Vacuum owners
Yeah the canister alone will be easier for your mom compared to the uprights Dyson makes. I personally went with Dyson cordless vacuums, the v11 specifically, it’s much lighter compared to my Dyson Small Ball Animal. Even the compact upright is heavy for me.
Is your cleaner head a flat head or a rounded in front head with brushes. If it has red and black brushes then it can be used on carpets no issues and hard floors. It’s also normal for it to be harder to push on carpets. Dyson suction is incredible. You just know that you’ll get a good clean with this.
And also you don’t have to worry about cleaning filters anymore as you got the cinetic version too!! Just gotta empty the bin with the point and shoot bin.

Hello everyone,
Gf and I are going to be getting a new vacuum within the next 2-4 weeks.
Her friend has raved about the Dyson Ball Animal 3 which puts our budget in the $400-$600 range depending on which version we go for which would be a huge upgrade to what I currently use, a Hoover TaskVac. Still, I wanted to see what else is out there and if there are any obvious better choices which I’m unaware of. I’ve looked through some of the resources but haven’t really pinpointed any specific vacuum without there being too much technical info that I’m not familiar with.
We have pets, shedding is a reality, and the need for great suction on hardwood and carpet. Would love something easy to use, great filtration for allergies and dust. Weight isn’t an issue but maneuverability would be great which is what her friend mentioned because of the “ball” and it picking up so much her previous vacuum never pickets up.
So, open question to everyone here. What would you get, have gotten, to use in that price range for home use? What have been your favorite features and least favorite features?
Please forgive my ignorance in vacuum cleaners of 2025!!
Saw this on sale for $279 and decided to grab one. Haven't even opened the box. Since the 2000s I always thought Dyson was a stellar vacuum but apparently thats not the case anymore.
After reading some posts on this sub it seems like I may have made a mistake. I only have a small rug where the kids play and the rest of the apt is tile. Its a bit bigger than what I need but thought it was a good purchase that could grow with us and our living environments. Apparently Dyson has now become a cheaply made brand which blows mine as its $280-500 depending on when and where you buy. I loved the no bags and easy emptying aspect of Dyson's vacuums. But thats a pretty common thing amongst current vacuums it seems.
So did I make a mistake? Should I return it and get a sub $200 vacuum thats smaller and/or more reliable? And if so any recommendations? I don't mind spending the $300 on a great product....but thats what I would want for that kind of money!
Any and all help or advice is needed and very much appreciated!
