- In this review we look at the Dyson Ball Animal 2 upright vacuum cleaner and discuss things that we do not like about the machine. See it on Amazon: amzn.to/2SjhnfA
Read our written review here: vacuum-cleaner...
We review and test the Dyson Ball Animal 2 and start by highlighting the weight of the vacuum and comparing it to the weight of another popular full size uprights on the market today. We look at the active base plate and show how it can get in the way of larger debris, especially on carpet. We show the tendency of the cleaner head to stick to mats and area rugs and discuss other potential issues with the active base plate, aggressive brushroll and powerful suction. The inability of the unit to easily push into the upright position is shown and a noise test is done with a sound level meter. Finally the high cost of the vacuum is discussed.
I would also like to point out that I make every effort to be unbiased in my videos. If there is something about a product I do not like - I will let you know!

I've never been more interested in a vacuum comparison video in my entire life. This was well done. Thank you.
You are most welcome. Glad you found the video interesting. .
Thank you for your thorough review! Buying a quality vacuum cleaner really impacts the cleanliness of your home and helps minimize dust and other allergens. I have had so many ridiculously inefficient vacuums that either didn't have adequate suction or lacked a proper closed vacuum loop resulting in dust being sucked in one end and then escaping out through main vacuum distributing dust back into the room.
Got mine today. It’s a cleaning BEAST. And with the way my pets shed, I need it to be. I love it.
If I may, which one did you get? The Shark or the Dyson and do you find the review to be accurate? Thanks for any info. Take good care of you and yours.
Thank you for a truly objective review which confirmed the disappointing experience I had with Dyson Animal 2. I had to replace my older Dyson, which I loved, and bought Animal2 expecting it to be at least as good as the very old Dyson I bought new and had been using. The Animal2 was a huge step backward in just about every way: uncomfortably and almost frighteningly loud (as you showed in an objective manner), the suction was weird and worse (as you demonstrated), the clearance was worse (to which you alluded), hose diameter was less than my old Dyson (meaning less suction power), quality of parts went down, just so disappointing on so many levels. I bought a very very very expensive Miele and have been very very very disappointed with it too. I'll look at some more of your reviews with hope of finding a good fit for vacuum. I've read so many positive reviews on Dyson Animal 2, that I was starting to wonder what was going on. Thank you again for a helpful review, affirming my experience, and warning others about the vacuum.
Expensive doesn’t equal better always.
id just get a hoover wind tunnel and call it a day
Thank you for thorough unbiased reviews. You deserve many more subs.
Thanks for blowing out my ear drums when you started up the vacuum.
Thanks for the tip / explaining how to keep the handle up when trying to stop!! (7:51)! Appreciate the tips in this and the last video!
My cousin had the same issue with weight you mentioned at the start. She had a DC 25 and the first Dyson which was a suction beast. Sadly she passed away but had neck, back and walking issues. A great way for her to mitigate the weight was to go forward only, like you're doing the lawn. Maybe not the best way to hover but it helped her greatly.
Thank you for explaining how to click the handle into place.
I own it for a few years and agree:
- it’s heavy
- inconvenient to use under furniture
- it’s hard to pull the hose out and use it for any cleaning…
- if the brush stops rotating and cleaning it does not solve the problem, you’ll have to spend another $95 to replace the whole brush assembly. Any repair is not easy, as you need a special T10 screwdriver.
- ordering a replacement brush assembly is another problem as this items are on backorder.
- for all of the above reasons, I would not recommend it.
You have done such an amazing job on your review of the Dyson Animal 2 and comparing it to its competitors. I was given the Animal 2 from a friend recently and it is good to hear similar dislikes I have with this machine. I appreciate your review and find it very helpful. The other extremely annoying issue I have with this machine, which is not included in your review, is with the hose. I have to fight to pull it out while needing to vacuum. It is annoying to no end.
Renee Lay I have the same problem with mine
At least the Dyson tested 0 on a particle tester which is fantastic!!
The shark doesn't have the cyclones which spins the dust out of the air.The dyson has much better filtration .
Dyson machines are designed very differently from other machines and takes some getting used to.I find that the attachments are better than there competitors. My $300.00 Dyson multifloor filters as well as my $1100.00 Miele S8.
I Have both a Dyson and a Shark (which we used upstairs) and as much as I'm not 100% a fan of the Dyson ball in use I find it preferable to the shark (more powerful in the pick up and easier to manoeuvre. I recently bought my daughter a Dyson V8 cordless which is phenomenally good in just about every respect, and if one of these two go down (Dyson 8 years old , Shark 2 years old) I already know what I'm replacing it with!
I love dyson!! Thank you so much.
Bingo on the falling over unless it clicks bit. I also hate how stiff the hose is and how hard it is to slide it back into the handle. DRIVES ME NUTS!
Thorough and well done. I appreciate the comparison and the tests.
I have never suctioned large debris in any of my vaccum cleaners. I pick those items up then vaccum.
If it’s Cheerios or something, I’d suck them up with the hose fist then vacuum the carpet. If it’s even larger debris, yeah, best to pick it up.
It’s all about technique
This was VERY informative! You exactly hit 99% of questions most people would ask! Did I miss the motor power of each of the machines? I really appreciate this and will now go watch the "what we like" video. Just wanted to be sure you know this is very much appreciated and contains excellent info! Take good care of you and yours. (If I should purchase either of these, I will come back to check your links)
Glad you found the videos useful!
Have had much problem with the Animal 2 on my carpet. It's standard carpet, neither burber nor shag, but rather dense. The suction was too much, stuck to the floor, and the roller would stop too, making it extremely difficult to push and pull. I tried raising the auto adjust head to max elevation by adding 4 zip ties beneath the 4 tabs on which it raises and lowers. This helped some, but the roller continued to catch the carpet and stop. I then tried a very used DC 65 model head, and the suction was still too great. I used 4 zip ties here as well. And then it ran smoothly, but Only because the bristles on the DC 65 roller had worn down considerably (maybe 1/4 inch less than new) and was not catching on the dense carpet. Now I can vacuum my carpet with the Animal 2. I then placed the new Animal 2 head on my older DC 65. It worked OK, but roller wasn't making contact with the carpet. (so I removed the zip ties). It now runs well also, but the suction is noticeable less than the Animal 2, picking up much less fine debris like dust. Lastly. I will say, the Animal 2 works extremely well on hardwood floors, sucking up medium (rice) to super fine debris (dust). What was particularly upsetting was, despite the critical reviews pointing too much suction to handle dense carpets, Dyson agents would say they were unaware of any particular issues like that. As well, the place I bought it from, Costco, said the same thing. I find that impossible to believe they've never heard of this complaint before. Dyson did send me a. replacement head (yellow multi-floor head), but it doesn't work any better the Animal 2 head. As this reviewer suggests, the heads all look rather identical but have different cot schemes.
How about the crappy IKEA style owners manual that uses only pictures? It explains basic assembly (but not very clearly), and provides no other detail on how to use the various attachments or general operation of the unit, leaving trial and error or TH-cam videos to figure things out. Or the fact that my Ball animal 2 plus comes with 7 tools, but only two of them mount onboard the vacuum? Am I supposed to just carry them around in a bag for use while vacuuming? On the plus side, it seems to have pretty good suction, cleans my area rug and laminate flooring pretty well (I have 4 big dogs), and it is fairly straightforward to empty the cannister. However, I've already discovered that the thing fills up pretty quickly, and I need to empty it at least 3X every time I clean the house (1x per week). Beyond that, the hose is unwieldy, and I'm not looking forward to my first try at cleaning my long flight of stairs.
We've used the Eureka Boss 4800 series for the past 13 years, based in large part on Consumer Reports' best buy rating for a vacuum that we paid about $100 for. In fact, it is usually rated 2nd best, ahead of ALL the Dyson models tested (I think a Hoover was the top rated upright). Through 3 iterations, it has served us well. Although very loud and a bit heavy, the Boss has great suction. I also like that it uses a bag and a HEPA filter; I'm not a big fan of bagless vacuums, but we'll see if this one just creates more dust. We got this Dyson on sale from Costco for $279, which is the only reason we bought it (there's no way I would spend $500 for a vacuum). We'll probably keep it (Costco has a very liberal return policy which is why we bought it there), but I'll hang on to the Eureka for a bit until I see how the Dyson performs on the stairs (which the Eureka is easy to use on).
Any other tips for use of the Dyson are most welcome.
This will be my 1st and most likely my last Dyson Animal. The hose is practically unusable!!! When the machine is off, the hose will stretch out. As soon as I turn the machine on, the hose immediately retracts and will not stretch out. I literally have to wrestle full body with the machine to use the hose. I love the machine on rugs and floors, it's definitely powerful, but if I can’t count on the ability to use the hose/attachments, the machine is not worth the cost.
Any suggestions? This is obviously a design or engineering flaw!! There are many other Dyson vacuum owners online complaining about the same issue.
Anytime I have ever had large debris, I use a wand attachment or shop vac.
or a broom ;)
The tools onboard the vacuum will save u. Even the flat out floor tool. You can lift the tool over the debris. While the head can’t. It’s still great. Just making it better.
Suction is great the hose however is not long enough and the cleaner follows you around hitting the back of your legs..
One dislike I wish that would be reviewed is the inability of the hose to stay stretched while using the attachments. The machine will tip and you're basically constantly wrestling with the hose pulling back to the machine, or the machine pulling towards you. This is an outrageous design flaw that I can't believe made it through the design process. Thankfully enough we sold ours at a minimal loss.
Got this bad boy for $230 on Dyson's website for a Black Friday sale 2019. Also if you get the adapter piece you can use the pieces from this vacuum and the portable v7,v8, etc. interchangeably.
We have a 10 yr old Dyson Animal and love it! Just ordered the Allergy ball and interested to see if we will like it as much especially after your video reviews. I will say the Shark vacuums are not a good comparison IMO. I would love to find a 10 year old shark vacuum to compare to our 10 yr old dyson but no luck so far. Lol In our experience Shark lasted as long as other cheap vacuums we have owned which is about a year. Thank you for the reviews. They were very informative and interesting!
We have a Dyson Animal, about 12 years old, and I love it so much. But we're carting it back and forth from our home to our small business, pain in the arse. So we got this Dyson Animal 2, and DUDE. Not everything is an improvement. It's so awkward to maneuver, one session of vacuuming, and I think I have elbow tendinitis, LOL. #nope Sending it back. But what to buy, what to buy...
If it sticks it means it has good suction
Nope. Too much suction is just as bad as not enough suction. Variable motor speed would help with that.
Mine will not adjust to my 9'×6' throw rug. It sucks right to the carpet. Its literally a work out to push and pull the vacuum around. Pisses me off. The carpet is not all that high or thick.
...I’m not seeing a problem with most of the issues you’ve brought up. 1. if you can see it, pick it up or vacuum more. The vacuum shouldn’t make up for my laziness. 2. I shake my rugs. Again, laziness. Noise, so what it’s a vacuum. Coming from a Hoover the weight doesn’t bother me. The only valid item is, yes, the price. It’s pretty pricey. Thanks for you’re excellent reviews. You’re doing a great job.
pastenseverb I paid $260, Plus tax today at bed bath and beyond.
“Make sure the brush roll is off”
*turns on brush roll*
Dyson Animal 2 is simply an amazing vacuum. I just got one and I am very impressed.
such a concise review!
I'm pretty impressed with your testing methodology :)
The extra click to lock the handle in place shouldn't even be a complaint. It's all in getting used to your vacuum. I will say the amount of heat this thing throws off can be bothersome though. The performance outweighs this though.
The Dyson had the debris moving drastically towards it before it was ontop of the debris. The Dysons power is second to none.
Btw we just bought the Dyson ball animal 2 today. We had the Dyson ball multi floor from 2013 to 2019.. it worked great but we sold it yesterday for $150. We bought our Dyson ball animal 2 for $450 out the door.
If you waited a month you could of gotten it for $230 on Dyson's website (with 3 free accessory tools) for their black friday sale... that's how I got mine.
I have one of these and yes while the suction is good, it is noisy and harder to use. The thing is also very unstable. When upright it leans drunkenly to its right, also if using the hose/tools then as soon as you put any slight strain on the hose the machine falls over! Looking to replace it with something else now (esp. as Dyson has bailed on the UK and is moving its HQ to Singapore).
Weight? Get a Kirby or a Miele.My Shark blew up in 2 years under light usage, and was VERY hard to get to the roller brush for hair removal (9) 6-lobe tamper-proof screws, some of which are hidden. The small rug test is ridiculous. In the audio test the mic is farther away from the Shark. I do agree that the failure to get the double click to lock the vertical positions is annoying.
The hose does not have a handle on it like the older models and it is so tight the vacuum base keeps banging into your ankles.
I hate the dyson when I’m wrapping the cord because it always falls on my head
I just purchased a refurnished Dyson and after I put it together and used it on my carpet I could hardly push it over my carpet. Am I doing somethin wrong??
Is ur carpet thick?
Same problem here. The dang suction is TOO strong. There are many home-made fixes on TH-cam to reduce the suction.
I'm just so shocked that DYSON sells vacuums THAT ARE VIRTUALLY UNUSABLE on carpet and some rugs.
How stupid are they!?
The first two complaints are extremely accurate. I have 2 cats, 5 birds, and hardwood floors. My birds constantly throw chickpeas and corn pieces on the ground, and my Dyson Animal 1 (DC65 - I got it 4 years ago before the Animal 2 existed) will not pick them up so I find myself using the wand a lot to pick up large debris like that.
Also, I have area rugs in front of my bathroom sink, toilet, and litter boxes, and the Dyson Animal will often pick the mats up off the ground as I'm trying to get debris off of them.
Amazing suction power though!
Dyson's biggest failure is not figuring out some space-age solution for the *cord*... retractable cords are one of vacuum cleaning's biggest "modern triumphs", yet Dyson punts...
For little rugs
My dyson pushes larger debris around, But I am not sure I want large debris to be picked up. I have a carpet on my hardwood floor, the dyson works fine on it, it may pick up the carpet, I have suction, correct, but that only happens if I get to edge, which can be avoided, just don't go off the carpet, stay part on and part off, works fine. The only part of your critique I am interest in is it will not fit under a bed. Mine came with some attachments, they look good, but the one that looks like it will work, has compound angles you can put into effect, but then the handle of the sweeper will limit how far you can get beneath the bed. I wonder if the engineer that put all of this together, actually tried to use the sweeper. Over alll, I think you are a little "picky" looking for problems.
I have a husky whos sole purpose is to make my house fuzzy, would you recommend the Dyson animal ball 2 or the Dyson V11 animal? I don't have a preference whether or not it has a cord. I just need the best deep clean with upholstery cleaning attachments. My house is pretty average size, 2 floors, half carpet half wood/tile. Thank you
Animal ball 2 would be better you’ll run out of battery on the other one if you have more than one floor
How is the brush bar on this vacuum with long hair? We have 3 girls in our house with long hair and our older Dyson DC14 gets clogged up with long hair pretty quickly and then rendered useless for vacuuming carpets. Is there any vacuum on the market that doesn't get its brush bar clogged up with long hair?
Like many a vacuum the brushroll will get hair wrapped around it and you have to remove it. I see that Shark has just launched a few machines with what they call Zero-M technology. This is supposed to stop hair tangling in the brushroll. I haven't got my hands on one of these machines yet but I hope to get one and test it.
Wow, Zero-M technology really looks like what I've been looking for. I'm really looking forward to see review video on this. Currently, there are no TH-cam videos about this products at all. I'm curious how effective Zero-M technology really is.
your foot was on the rug during the shark demo but not on the dyson demo...why?
Pretty sure that wasn’t on purpose, and even if it was, the foot was only half on the mat (on one side) so if the shark did have as much suction it should have still been able to lift up the carpet even by a small amount.
What's the difference between this Animal 2 and the first Animal model?
Adrian Smith about $100

Adrian Smith absolutely nothing. There exactly the same. I fix vacuums at a shop and we get tons of dysons for repair and the only difference between the animal and the animal 2 is the color and the fact that they put the animal 2 logo.
Color.

Hi There , looking to buy a dyson or other model. Considering V8 animal 379.00 , DC41 Mk2 Animal 469.00 (now called Dyson Ball Animal) or the Dyson Cinetic BigBall Animal 300.00 ..... looking at just watts there dosent seem to be much in it. I have a SERIOUSLY hair moulting dog and my current Dyson cylinder just leaves lines of hair in the
Carpet. The dog is 14 so probably will put love the hoover .... like the idea of cordless but will it cut it ? Medium size house for U.K. ..... 4 beds .... can you cut past the marketing for me ! Thanks
dont try to use the hose as the vacuume will keep coming down and not stay upright so you have suction on the hose nor will it stay upright locked it always comes loose when you move it
If your house is so dirty you have piles of fruit loop size debris laying around, you need a shopvac and a lesson on how to keep your house clean.
I need a vacuum to pick up dirt and dog hair, dyson gave me what I was looking for, deep cleaning!
and this means when one fosters kittens and has tons of cat toys around... they don't get sucked up by the vacuum!!!
All those issues i can look past for that beast of suction! I wish there was a review on how well it gets sand out of carpets. I live on the lake and sand is a nuisance. Take a cup of sand put it in carpet rub it in and vacuum it up see how much comes back out of the carpet. It does suck with that accordion setup where it dont like to pick up big things but i guess I'll lift up the vaccum and run over the stuff. I want this vaccum just to try it out for sand in carpet.
It will impress picking up sand!
I have sandy cat litter and it picked up a ton! Not sure if it got ALL of it but was very satisfying
how come no mention of the battle that ensues with the iron clad hose???? Did you miss that on purpose? Or were you just not powerful enough to extend it????
This is exactly the problem I'm having! The hose keeps wanting to retract, and fighting it exhausts me every time I vacuum a chair or something. Dyson advised me to stretch the hose, and I did--removing it and stretching it out on the floor, weighting down both ends to keep it fully extended. This technique works great for smoothing out Xmas light, rope lights, and extension cords, but it didn't help the Dyson hose. I use my old vacuum every time I need to vacuum something that's not the floor. Wish I never got this Dyson, it's more trouble than it's worth.
@@ellevetica12 Oh, thank you! I am really learning a lot with these reviews of the review. Putting this much money in an item that I will have for years is scary enough; finding out how they operate in "real life" is essential. Thanks again. Take good care of you and yours.
For that amount of trash u swipe and then vacuum no?
Dyson vacuum has come down in price on Amazon
What is the difference between the Dyson Ball Animal 2 and the Dyson Ball Animal Plus?
Thank you so much for this video....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Alisha. You are very welcome.
I have a Dyson Ball. Meh, not thrilled after five years.
Pros: great suction; lightweight, maneuverable
Cons: loud; after a year of use, VERY hard to push; fixed that by removing rubber gasket (per Dyson help desk), after another year, impossible to push again.
Have you checked to see if the mini roller wheels underneath it have hair/debris tangled around them & the little metal axels they are on? It takes some doing for me to get those cleaned out using needle-nose pliers, but it does help mine roll more smoothly when it starts being hard to push. (I have the old Dyson Ball with the completely orange ball.) Also cutting off any long hair wrapped around the main roller, or course. I do that regularly, as we’ve got lots of long hair in the house. Might not be the issue with yours, but thought I’d mention it.
I have two low pile rugs and my Dyson grips them so hard, I cannot vacuum them. I spent a lot of money on this vacuum because it was supposed to be one of the best ad I can only use it in 50% of my home.
ByYourSideDance it is that suction.
This is what I'm worried about...I have carpet in the bedrooms and an area rug so want it to work on hardwood and carpet...
Great video! Love my Dyson though!!
Who vacuums up cherrios? I was always taught not to do that, and I’d rather deal with a vacuum sticking to a carpet then one that doesn’t, I’m tired of wasting money on vacuums that don’t pick up hair
Easy maintenance with Dyson teardown for uncloging vacuum
Love my Dyson for 14 years. The only better vacuum out there is a central vac but this is a while different animal.
Good workout for your biceps...
My Dyson friggin rawks.
Flawed presentation : Shark is 83.5 dB and Dyson is 81.5 dB. Need to disengage the hose flow in you test, keep the testing the same.
My mom would love this video... she clean all dayyyy long...
You’re making me hungry with your fruit loops :)
I'll stick with my shark la401 that I got refurbished for $73 and sone change.
why would anyone vacuum frootloops anyways. if my kids spilled frootloops or any large debris i make them pick it up. dyson is the best vacuum out their.
Imran Alwageeh 😂😂😂 or perhaps use a broom and dustpan really quick? The vacuum does come with a wand though... guess they forget 😳
I really hate Dyson uprights and how they feel so flimsy and plasticky. I prefer their older models. Id like to see a SEBO on one of your demo vids one day.
blakaeg me to, there plastics are almost as thin as paper, and they say that there materials are made from riot shields and foot ball helmets, it is bs! if they made helmets and riot shieds, as thin as the plastic is on a Dyson, people would be getting killed like crazy lol
Unless you can report on seeing their plastic break then I'm not sure I see your point. Additionally you probably don't understand how plastics are made. Dyson's plastics whether thin or thick use the same type of "process" and materials as used in high impact resistant plastics... ie they have embedded fibers and materials that make them very strong. "Feel" has nothing to do with quality and lifespan...or science.
Santiago Draco my point is they mold the plastics so thin, everything on the Dyson you can bend and flex, nothing on it is solid at all, and for the price they charge, I would expect it to be a solid built vacuum, it dosnt Matter what fancy plastic they want to call it, it is extremely flimsy, I would expect to see plastic like that on vacuums that cost less then 80 bucks, not 500 dollar vacuums!!
You may not understand the differences between two of the most common plastics, acrylic and polycarbonate. From this website: coloradoplastics.com/polycarbonate-lexan-vs-acrylic-lucite/
I found the following quote: "They are both stronger and lighter than untempered glass; acrylic is 4x to 8x stronger than glass, while polycarb is about 200x stronger." Form follows function and material follows utility. In other words, these vacuums are durable.
A Dyson is heavy; building it of thicker materials will make it unnecessarily heavier. Perhaps Dyson will develop a high speed yet low cost process to manufacture vacuum parts of carbon fiber. What you call flimsy, I call flexible. Like a willow in the wind. Motorcycle windshields are made of polycarbonate for it's toughness. I don't need to 'drive' my Dyson carefully around furniture legs, open doors or kitchen peninsulas, because the material it's made of absorbs impacts without cracking.
They are polycarbonate.
Vacuumvisor can I have the dyson
Measuring SPL or sound pressure levels when assessing sound quality is BS. Just saying ...
Nothing re Hard floors
80 dB is 10 times as loud as 70 dB. Otherwise, nice vid. 😁
No. 10 db is a doubling in the loudness or perceived volume. It might be 10x the power, but only 2x the volume.
Teach to pick up whole coffee bean !
Doesn't work on carpet.
Seems a very biased view from someone who dislikes Dyson and prefers Shark....hey ho....perhaps he only sells Shark or there is more profit margin with Shark or am I just being cynical.
17.4 lbs what a wimp.
IDK? 2500+ squ ft of floors might make it feel more like 34lbs, lol.
Probably just mentioning it for older/smaller people in the market for a vacuum. As a bigger fella, I don't worry about weight. But if I was a 5 foot, 120 lb 75 yr old lady, it'd be a different story
Yes, how dare my grandmother complain. #Wimp
pobody nerfect
Sponsored by Shark? Hmmmm ...
woah clearly you can save yourself 200-300$ but getting anything else than a dyson for better quality
