I spent Christmas and New Year's holidays with Mom in Fort Wayne, IN (I live in San Francisco, CA, now). Whilst I was at Mom's home, I saw a new Dyson Ball Animal vacuum in her family room. Her home is a 1950s ranch home in a subdivision in Fort Wayne, with 3 bedrooms. This is a home with 2 big dogs and 5 cats (so there is a lot of loose fur). I got to use it during the holidays. Here's my review of this vacuum. The first time I used it was for a quick cleanup of the family room on Christmas Day, after one of the two dogs chewed up a large bone on the carpet. The Dyson maneuvered very well on its ball; I could make sharp turns and zig-zag around table legs and under some of the furniture. It picked up all the bone fragments from the floor, plus a surprisingly huge amount of fur off the floor. The canister was easy to remove and empty--just push on a red button at the top of the canister, and it flips open on the bottom to dump the dirt out. The second time I used the Dyson was a few days after Christmas, for a more thorough vacuuming of the house. I started with one of the back bedrooms (there are 3 bedrooms), then the hallway, the dining room, and the family room, which are all carpeted. Once again, the Dyson demonstrated amazing maneuverability and ease of operation, plus it picked up more dog and cat fur than I ever realized was there. It took 3 canister-fuls of fur (total) out of the carpets in all these rooms! I did not use the hose or any of the attachments, since my main purpose was to vacuum the carpets all over the house. My judgment of this vacuum: 1) It maneuvers quite agilely, due to the unique rolling ball, so it can turn sharp corners and zig-zag around obstacles. 2) It does very well, better than any vacuum I have used before it, in picking up dog and cat fur from carpets. This vacuum would be too much vacuum for my small pet-free studio apartment in San Francisco, since I have no pets (so no fur); after all, it's designed for pet owners in houses. What are your experiences with the Dyson Ball Animal vacuum? Please share! |

I dont know about the Ball but the DC 14 has been a great cleaner to me, I just wish it had a little bit more airflow other than that no complaints James has done a great job inventing a good cleaner |

Jack I want a DC24!!!I did have the honor of using the animal,and I do love the purple over the yellow but I dont think there is any other slim model/color is there? The one time I did get to use the Dyson Animal I used it on the stairs with the turbo brush and it did perform very well compared to the standard turbo heads. I do have a Dirt Devil and Hoover windtunnel mini turbo and they dont slow down as bad as the others but the debris still has to pass through the tubine causeing the blades to chip over time.
