Thank you. The instructions were of no use. Considering how my Dysons cost the least thru could was provide pictured instructions. Thank you for coming to my rescue 👏🏿
Thank you for the video! This is our first Dyson vacuum. We are usually pretty good with picture only assembly instructions but things weren’t looking quite right until we watched your video! *LOL* Thanks again!
Thank you for making sense of how the various parts are supposed to be aligned, and clearly showing how to tell when a part is locked securely in place or misaligned.
Bought this yesterday and am returning it. While it vacuums well it’s a pain to maneuver and is frustrating to use. The wand housing is flimsy as well. I love the one I bought 11 yrs ago. I can whip around my house with that one and take out and put back the wand super easy. Dyson completely messed up with this new vacuum
I just used mine omg did it pull crap out of the carpets. I vacuumed yesterday,so I did the experiment. All I could say was wow. So glad I bought this beast. Carpets to hardwood with just a flick of the switch in front. Buy it.
Okay I was so confused the instructions from Dyson were so vague and honestly very confusing haha so thank you for this video with clear instructions! It helped a lot and this vacuum rocks!!
Thank you so much for this video. I have a rainbow vacuum that I’ve had for 18 yrs. Never any problem with it, excellent vacuum except now that I’m older it’s heavy to maneuver. My friend brought her Dyson over and when she was finished my rug looked like it had just been shampooed. I was sold. Bought my Dyson animal 3 today and love it. Your assembly instructions were excellent. Thank you again!💯🙌🏽👍🏽
We just received ours (1st Dyson vacuum) and I got the vac head on easily but the wand/hose instructions threw me off. I REALLY hope o haven’t messed ours up because I pushed the wand too far into the hose (I never heard a click). They need to remember that some of us have never owned a Dyson vacuum & make the instructions a lil bit clearer lol. Thanks for the video, it really helped clear up how I’m supposed to install the wand!🤩
Purchased this one to replace my old animal 2 I've had since 2015 I think. It's nice, lots of suction!! But when they got rid of the auto adjusting head, they messed up. I gifted it to my brother and his family. They like it. I ordered a new animal 2. Keeping the old animal 2 as a backup.
This is our third Dyson so I didn't need your video for assembly but as it cost $500 it was useful as a reference as the included directions are in very small print. We have 2 large German Shepherds, shedding is a major issue and NO VACUUM IS BETTER . The new cleaning head which is designed to avoid buildup within makes it better. Thanks for the video so I could double check my assembly, well done.
Great video helping me put together my ball 3 Dyson, all I can say is Slow down each step takes time but before I’m done with the first step the video is over. This isn’t a negative this is me wishing how to video’s would slow down and realize you’re teaching to someone who has never done this. Thanks for the video
We were having trouble putting the cleaner head on. Your video made it so clear. The only thing we could not do is move the wheels back. Ours would not move so we lifted the vacuum off the floor and got everything set. I wonder what we were doing wrong. Your wheels seemed to move back easily. Thanks for the help.
I was waiting for somebody to buy one of these! I looked at a few stores in my area and they did not seem to have them yet. I like that they redesigned the head, especially since the old one was notorious for failing, not great on thick carpet, and not nearly as easy for the user to service. I am a little sad to see that they did not change the hose access like the one the UK gets, but nonetheless, the head alone is a major improvement.
I wonder if we'll get the upgraded hose/wand on an upcoming model (I'd like to try it, it looks better). There's room for improvement on the tools, and many older Dyson upright setups were superior.
So glad to see you back with some new videos!! It’s funny that dyson finally brought this to the states as it’s been available for years across the pond. I like my small ball with the direct drive head but it definitely needs the gates on the floor head like they have with this head. Great video and can’t wait to see more!!
Really interesting seeing them going back on their word. I guess they never said they would be "stopping development" forever. Maybe it was just to test the waters, but whatever the case, it is nice to see them making another solid corded machine. I'm a fan of this style of Dyson upright.
@@VacTech1 which this is developing a new model. They said they would continue to make the same corded models, but not design any new models. So they did to against their words.
I wouldn’t call a Dyson a solid machine lol. They did it because Shark sell a load of uprights. In the UK, the top selling upright is Shark. Their cordless does very well too. A quality solid upright is SEBO.
@@blakaeg I agree that other companies like Shark are now overtaking the corded upright market. Dyson's upright designs here are largely 11 years old (aside from small updates). Maybe people bought a DC65 years ago, but once they wore it out, and they saw the new models were identical, they opted to try something different. It's silly of them abandon a market they ran, despite their convictions towards cordless machines.
I now have the 3 and the 2 -- I find the 3 very hard to push on medium pile carpet, even with the machine on the high pile setting. It definitely generates more suction, but I am unclear as to whether it cleans any better than the 2. The 2 has longer bristles which would seem to agitate the carpet more.
Thank you so much for creating this video. Otherwise I would not have known how to put the vacuum together. I'm frustrated that I've looked everywhere. Cannot find the attachment cup. I guess I will have to contact Dyson. I hope it's going to work great. Going to look for your review of it. Thank you. Thank you again or I would have never got this together! They definitely need better instructions or a link to a video we can watch. Like yours 🙂
Thanks for this - I've never owned a Dyson before and the instructions left a lot unclear. The diagrams only include half the steps - I was left with way-too long a wand and no clue what order to snap into place or where.
Thank you for showing how the wand fits in the hose! That was really stumping me. Other assembly videos didn't show this all or their entire vacuum didn't fit on the video screen. Ugh
Thank you. I am going to buy a new Dyson as mine is 15 years old and am looking at this model. Can you tell me if it is easy to clean I.e., the filters and everything? The one I have now is a bit of a pain. V/r, Dr. Marc
The pet groom tool is the only Dyson attachment made for specifically grooming and grabbing loose hair off of pets. The tangle-free turbine tool is great for getting pet hair off of furniture, stairs, and cleaning the car. Hope this helps!
Just assembled neighbors and I gotta say the plastic and connectors feel thin and cheap- this model is recommended by consumer reports though- however the Shark Stratos tested better and is built more sturdy and weighs the same- also you can catch it on sale somewhere for $350.00 - great for pets
Also shark professional nv360 was rated a Best Buy for$150.00 - does not have same roller feature as the Dyson- but excellent on carpet hardwood and pet hair
I have a v11 absolute and the thing sucks!!! I live in a huge farmhouse and it just doesn't pick up anything enough without it clogging and then it fell and I broke the main body! no such luck with Dyson lol. Im really looking at this one for what I need!🤞🤞🤞
To attach the sweeper head, after pushing the wheels back, whats the part you have to move up before lining up the heads and clicking in place. Sorry, I didn't quite see it (vision problems). Thanks
@@esampson2369 that piece is what the cleaner head connects to, the suction channel. It’s just easier to connect if you move it up. The cleaner head connects to it from underneath, and pushes up into it. You’ll hear it click and lock into place. I hope that helps!
I really wish Dyson had given the US the UK version of what we call Animal Ball 2 or now they have changed the name of it again, but it gets a nice stronger plastic construction and it’s thicker back spine and also an aluminium wand, it really does feel so much better than Dysons like this one with the thin bendy plastic. I hate how fragile it feels and the way the body ‘bends’ when turning corners. Seen some of these broken, sorry to say, but a Shark feels more sturdier in use and SEBO feels 100% better than this type of Dyson. Thanks for your video.
Sebo do feel solid, but they actually wear out quicker than you might think. My felix handle is really loose now and the button to switch off the ET1 power head jams constantly and is really difficult to press. The hose on the sebos are notoriously poor as well. When you don’t engineer tolerances in joints and moving parts, they wear out. Then you have to juggle durability with ease of use and weight. Dysons are made from mainly polycarbonate as opposed to ABS like Sebo and Miele; the former being more expensive but more durable.
I’ve owned mine for a few days and put my unboxing video uo not too long ago and so far I like the machine. Only main complaint is I can only use it on the high like carpet setting across all my carpets and rugs because otherwise, the machine is wayyy too hard to push. But that is due to the extreme high suction and airflow of the machine. I will out out my review of it fairly soon as well so im interested to see what your final thoughts are.
Could you tell me how to clean the inside of brush roll, I took brush roll out but how do I clean the inside of it to get things caught in teeth , I can cleat everything but that
Wow it is hard for me to push on a rug but it is amazing on picking up my cat’s hair. I came here because the cleaner head kept falling off, but I never heard that snap sure the way you said to move the wheels up. I’m gonna try that now and see how that works. I dislike those little paper drawings that are your only instructions. I am much better at the visual like you’re showing.
They have different versions of this machine, which include different tools, but the vacuums themselves are identical. I'm not surprised they removed some of the graphics to save money.
With Dyson uprights, you’ll want to start at the bottom of the stairs, and work your way up. The bottom stair will hold the Dyson in place as you clean. I’ve noticed this Dyson has strong suction, and can really fight you when trying to stretch the hose, even more than the older models.
@@AnneQuint-teacher hmm you might need to call Dyson. Are you referring to the top part of the handle that just snaps in? I believe there’s a spring to lock it into place, but I’d have to check mine.
@@VacTech1yes! i’m talking about when you’re assembling it & u slide the actual handle piece on and it says it will click, but mine does not click! I found a small black plastic piece in the box & a spring, so i think it is missing from there. Heading to dyson store🥲just came in the mail yesterday
@@AnneQuint-teacher yeah sounds like those little pieces are the clip assembly that hold the handle in place. They probably just need popped back in, but there could be another issue if they’re not already installed.
Strange! The wand has to be lined up correctly so it nests into and aligns with the handle. Otherwise there could be something in the hose, preventing it from nesting all the way. If you continue to have issues, I would contact Dyson, and they'll figure out a solution for you.
Anyone else notice no matter what u do the cord will fall off while vacuuming? If u have half the cord un done the rest falls off no matter what’ seems like the l shape hooks the cord wraps around arent tall enough so the cord slips right off… Anyone else notice that?
I bought mine at Costco. Just putting it together but the cashier said do you love Dyson, I really don’t but the hype makes me believe. She said she loves her Shark. Reading these reviews makes me wonder. The brush is super heavy and it’s very big… Dyson Detect V15 stick is awful! Wasted my money on that and it clogs with dog hair instantly! It’s made for people who don’t have real dirt, 😮 Good luck!
Seems like a cheap re-engineering solution to push out a new model. Perhaps because they want to stop making the old-style cleaner heads. I'd imagine this will go-on for sometime until uprights are no longer in consumer demand - may never happen. New features (e.g. anti-tangle) get developed for the cordless models first, and then if you're lucky then they'll make their way into the uprights that the interns presumably now design. Clearly someone's decided that it's not worth the resource to add self-cleaning bin / laser / etc.
You just recline the handle back, and the wheels pop up so you can push it around on the ball. When putting it back upright, you have to firmly press the handle forward (into the upright position), and the wheels will drop back down and lock into place. Hope this helps!
Pretty much! Main differences are that ours will have more suction (no wattage limits by law), ours is louder, and it has the newly updated tangle-free cleaner head. I hope we get the updated hose/wand too.
@@dyson1244 no you are right, it’s been out for that long. Though I think the tangle free head is a relatively new add-on. ibasiac has a great video demonstrating the UK Animal Ball 2. I’m still jealous we didn’t get the new wand and even the ball filter the UK animal ball 2 has. I swear I thought the animal ball 3 came with the new ball filter but it’s still the same one as before because the one I bought has the same old version ball filter. The reason I say this is because the animal ball 3 box (which isn’t a plain box) shows the filter from the uk version on the photos/diagrams on the box. Also it appears the animal ball 3 extra comes in both a plain and regular box as I saw a plain one in bed bath and beyond but I saw a normal one with the nice designs at Target.
Are you seriously complaining about a "crooked sticker" ?!? That's ridiculous to complain about that!!!! Because we all know that with the sticker being slightly crooked definitely hinders the operation of the machine!
Thank you. The instructions were of no use. Considering how my Dysons cost the least thru could was provide pictured instructions. Thank you for coming to my rescue 👏🏿
I agree. I could not follow the directions at all.
Bought this vacuum back in November 2023. I've been loving it ever since. Such a beast of a vacuum

The pet groom tool is the only Dyson attachment made for specifically grooming and grabbing loose hair off of pets. The tangle-free turbine tool is great for getting pet hair off of furniture, stairs, and cleaning the car. Hope this helps!
Definitely like the new head but if I had to get a new dyson I’d get the ball animal 2 as it’s easier to push on thinner carpet.

How did you manage it
Greetings! Does the hose not stay clipped on?
When brush roll becomes full of hair, and it will regardless what they say, good luck taking it apart.

How on earth do you clean the stairs with this thing I can't take the wand off without it being about 5 feet long
With Dyson uprights, you’ll want to start at the bottom of the stairs, and work your way up. The bottom stair will hold the Dyson in place as you clean. I’ve noticed this Dyson has strong suction, and can really fight you when trying to stretch the hose, even more than the older models.
Thanks man
I feel like they came a little late with this upright in the US nice review man
Thanks!
The wand does not fit into the hose the same as the DC25 so I was really struggling lol
I understand. It’s different for sure, and imo the wand setup isn’t as good. I liked how on the DC25 you have the nice handle grip that went with it.
Do you have a comparison for the animal 3 vs Shark vertex duoclean az2002?
Should there be an audible *click* when I pull down the handle to use it?
Yes, it will make a click and popping noise as the wheels pop back, and the changeover valve diverts the suction from the hose to the cleaner head.
Thx
My handle will not connect properly (won’t click)!! Is there a spring behind the little black plastic piece? Help I can’t find this anywhere!!

It looks like
a3 has 28% more Suction Power (290AW) than a2 (227AW),
while a2 has a 22% wider motorized cleaner head than a3.
Looking at them next 2 each other the head on old ones looks funny and way to big’
The new head fits the look better
Does this vacuum pick up cat litter?
My “backbone” as you called it, will NOT properly sit in the hose. This is so annoying. It needs to go a little further down but wont go
Strange! The wand has to be lined up correctly so it nests into and aligns with the handle. Otherwise there could be something in the hose, preventing it from nesting all the way. If you continue to have issues, I would contact Dyson, and they'll figure out a solution for you.
@@VacTech1 I am having the same issue. Very frustrating.
Is there a place where the turbine tool attaches to the vac?
Sadly, no. Good question! In other countries they have a handle clip that stores that tool, but not on US models.
Anyone else notice no matter what u do the cord will fall off while vacuuming? If u have half the cord un done the rest falls off no matter what’ seems like the l shape hooks the cord wraps around arent tall enough so the cord slips right off…
Anyone else notice that?
Got one and the main vaccum hose doesn't line up so all I get is the wand....
I would call Dyson if you’re having issues getting the wand to nest properly inside the hose. It has to line up just so. I hope you can get it set up!
This doesn’t help me put my hose back in the vacuum
It looks....disproportionate like the head is so small compared to the body of the machine. Cool that they finally brought the design over though.
I would prefer if the cleaner head was wider.
I bought mine at Costco. Just putting it together but the cashier said do you love Dyson, I really don’t but the hype makes me believe. She said she loves her Shark. Reading these reviews makes me wonder. The brush is super heavy and it’s very big… Dyson Detect V15 stick is awful! Wasted my money on that and it clogs with dog hair instantly! It’s made for people who don’t have real dirt, 😮 Good luck!
Seems like a cheap re-engineering solution to push out a new model. Perhaps because they want to stop making the old-style cleaner heads. I'd imagine this will go-on for sometime until uprights are no longer in consumer demand - may never happen. New features (e.g. anti-tangle) get developed for the cordless models first, and then if you're lucky then they'll make their way into the uprights that the interns presumably now design. Clearly someone's decided that it's not worth the resource to add self-cleaning bin / laser / etc.
How does it lower
You just recline the handle back, and the wheels pop up so you can push it around on the ball. When putting it back upright, you have to firmly press the handle forward (into the upright position), and the wheels will drop back down and lock into place. Hope this helps!
I just got mine from Amazon it has a gray switch not red so beware buyers of Amazon you get gray least if u don't get the extra or complete
Pov you have had this since 2017 because you live in the UK
Pretty much! Main differences are that ours will have more suction (no wattage limits by law), ours is louder, and it has the newly updated tangle-free cleaner head. I hope we get the updated hose/wand too.
We also have had the tangle free head for over a year and you lot don’t have what age limits that is not fair
@@dyson1244 I thought the tangle-free head just launched in the UK on their 2022 corded models?
Well I am I’ve been a bit exaggerating but we’ve had it for 3 4 months
@@dyson1244 no you are right, it’s been out for that long. Though I think the tangle free head is a relatively new add-on. ibasiac has a great video demonstrating the UK Animal Ball 2. I’m still jealous we didn’t get the new wand and even the ball filter the UK animal ball 2 has.
I swear I thought the animal ball 3 came with the new ball filter but it’s still the same one as before because the one I bought has the same old version ball filter. The reason I say this is because the animal ball 3 box (which isn’t a plain box) shows the filter from the uk version on the photos/diagrams on the box. Also it appears the animal ball 3 extra comes in both a plain and regular box as I saw a plain one in bed bath and beyond but I saw a normal one with the nice designs at Target.
Thank you for showing the assembly! Their assembly guide SUCKS
Glad I could help! Thank you!
I bet it has the usual faulty power switch.
I for the life of me can’t get the head to attach wtf I’m ready to return it
It interlocks with the nozzle on the front of the ball. It needs to be slid down into place, and it will click and lock. Hope you can get it working!
@@VacTech1 I got it. Was just hard to get it lined up
Are you seriously complaining about a "crooked sticker" ?!? That's ridiculous to complain about that!!!! Because we all know that with the sticker being slightly crooked definitely hinders the operation of the machine!
It’s a $500 vacuum. Shouldn’t be crooked haha.
Very Nightwish
80s vacuum montage
Plastic is so thin one good fall it will break not made well
The construction of the dyson ball 3 feels super flimsy and weak. Sad for how much money they're asking for what feels like junk
Got mine at Costco for $279 can't argue with that price.
@@jonathanmuniz4341
If you got the extra model for $279. That's a great deal.
I returned the dyson. The $200 shark I bought is lightyears better
