Dyson Ball Animal 2 Review

[@mytubeyou247]

Miele wins in looks, low noise and a sturdier build. Dyson feels cheap and is louder but when running on my thick rug my dyson animal ball 2 picked up what our miele u1 cat and dog left behind. My wife and I purchased the miele first, thick rugs with pets? get Dyson. Miele: “I will flow freely & fluid with you, be at ease” Dyson: Move! I’ve gotta accomplish these chores.

I have to say, this is by far the best review video I've watched for any product. You did such a good job presenting the product, using facts and actual tests to back up your opinions, and overall the video was well put together. This should be the standard for all critic channels. Great work here.

[@ModernCastle]

Thanks so much! Really appreciate your kind words and feedback.

[@nycpwcsi]

I just returned mine today. It is not as well made as the DC 25 (an older model) that I have. I preferred it over this new one. The wand has been changed and not for the better. I also feel the plastic is cheap. I picked up the V11 outsize and will stick to my old DC 25 for my corded vac.

[@ModernCastle]

Nice! I'm glad to hear it's working well.

[@EllenDean]

I just bought one as I already had the Dyson DC33 and loved it. I'm keeping that one for using upstairs and the new one for downstairs. But, I agree this one is very heavy when I've tried it out, although when I checked the weight it's supposedly lighter than my DC33. I'm not sure how that can be, unless it's because being new the suction is more powerful, my DC 33 is twelve years old now. But, I'm struggling to move it forwards.

[@ModernCastle]

@@EllenDean Thanks for sharing your experience! Glad to hear it's working out well. The vacuum's high suction can make it more difficult to push forward, especially on certain types of carpet. So that's normal behavior.

You don't know how heavy a "heavy" vacuum is until you've owned a Kirby! I owned an auction company where many were disposed of because of the extreme weight. I also owned/used one for many years - dependable for sure, but problematic for bag costs, constant belt breakage and weight. Also, costs 3 times more than the top Dyson!

Great review. I just bought a used one on Offer Up, Lightly used. It works great. Suction is very deep. A little heavy but not crazy and it’s super easy to push around. Thanks

[@ShishirG]

I just got this Dyson Ball Animal 2 Blue. It came with all sorts of attachments. However the Cleaner head Assy kept coming put and would not stay in place. Although Dyson was quick to send me a replacement, I am surprised with the quality control, which I feel should have been more robust. My question is, is there any difference between the various color types Blue, Purple and Iron with regards to the place it is manufactured, the quality of the components that has been used and its overall specifications. Thank you for your time.

[@ModernCastle]

The different colors typically indicate different accessory packages, but generally don't have anything to do with build quality. I think you just got unlucky with that part breaking early. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

[@bmw575]

Thanks I’m sold we had one at Best Buy when I worked there but no one cleaned it and I never knew how so the suction was horrible but thanks to you I’ll take care of mine.

[@ModernCastle]

My pleasure!

[@j.frankparnell6195]

Don't gloss over the fact that the storage for the accessories is atrocious. The small tool constantly gets knocked out as it is not held securely. Also using the attachments is pretty unwieldy. Trying to use the attachment on the end of a big wand that is tightly kinking the hose the whole time is not my idea of a usable tool. My other gripe about this vacuum is the bin size and how it collects dust in the crevices that is hard to get out when you empty it, and you will be emptying it a lot. That being said, I love this vacuum. It cleans like no tomorrow. It is extremely maneuverable. It feels like a pro tool when you use it.

[@reimundkrohn8938]

I wish I’d watched your review before choosing the 2 over the 3 this past week (our Ball Animal 2 is due to be delivered end of the week). Thanks for the thorough review though! Hopefully the three carpeted rooms we have in the house are low enough a pile to manoeuvre this vacuum over!

We just bought the Dyson ball animal and I’m having problems with making the “head “ drop it keeps getting stuck And it feels like I’m gonna break it if I try to force it too much. Should I ask the company for a new one?

[@ModernCastle]

I would at least reach out to customer support. That sounds like a defect to me. The head should drop super easily (almost too easily in most cases).

[@lorigail2400]

I have the dyson animal+ it’s terrible for area rugs. I don’t need an expensive area rug be ruined from a machine that’s so much suction I can’t use it. How can I fix this problem?

[@ModernCastle]

Only real solution would be to sell your Dyson and buy a vacuum with variable suction. I've heard of some users drilling holes in their Dyson to create less suction, but that doesn't feel like a great solution to me.

[@saltyjonny1]

It does have a suction control to my knowledge on the brush thing in the middle that red switche. It is not a hight adjuster.

[@roycesmith1001]

I would have liked to hear the vacuum, to hear how loud it is. I have a older Dyson pet vac and its Loud!!

[@ModernCastle]

Sorry that we didn't include that. I can confirm it is indeed quite loud. Probably around 80 dB.

[@georgebasham2279]

My wife bought one today. One of my jobs is to vacuum the uber thick carpets we have upstairs. Let's just say I'm getting a pretty good arm workout. 🤣 It does have powerful suction for sure.

[@ostrich4725]

I am looking to buy the v7 or the ball.. which one would be better for a living room with wooden floors, and rooms with carpet. I am worried the ball will be a hassle plugging in and trying the maneuver the heavy thing when I could just discharge and use with the v7. Should I get the ball of the v7?

[@ModernCastle]

Both are great vacuums, but as you said...if you're worried about lugging around a big heavy vacuum then yeah, the V7 is a no brainer. If you can, I'd suggest the V8 Absolute (amzn.to/2Qz0w8W), so you can get the soft roller brush, which will be ideal for your wooden floors.

[@joshjones4827]

Great video. How often do you recommend washing the bottom filter (in the ball)?

[@alexandramomney979]

You mentioned we can adjust the height for different floors. How can we do that? I’m having trouble vacuuming on carpet, suction is too high.

[@ModernCastle]

Sorry for the confusion...the height adjustment happens automatically. There is no way to manually adjust the height. Excessive suction is unfortunately a common complaint with this vacuum. If you're finding it too high you may want to return. Dyson's new Ball Animal 3 has less suction and a manually adjustable suction seal, so you won't have these issues.

[@bigspurrc]

I heard it can’t handle baby powder or cornstarch. It was said that baby powder and cornstarch even void’s the warranty.

[@ModernCastle]

I've never head of those types of issues, though I also don't think I've ever heard of anyone vacuuming baby power and cornstarch at such a notable level.

[@aliciacook1537]

I wrote to Dyson inquiring on the hose use of the Animal 2. It is so tight that I can barely use it when it's on. The hose will not stretch. Dyson suggested storing it with the hose wrapped around which I tried and still no stretch to it. Am I missing a step to have it stretch out?

[@ModernCastle]

Hrm...that's interesting. I'm not sure why it would be so tight. My hose on my Animal 2 easily stretches to 30+ feet. How far are you trying to stretch?

[@mikipav1064]

I’m visiting my sister for 3 weeks in the U.S. at the moment and she has a dog and she bought this exact model. Let me tell you this weird thing is a suction powerhouse, but a nightmare to use! I help her in the household while i’m staying in her house and I never encountered a more inconvenient vacuum cleaner in my life than this one 1.) This thing is really heavy. “It’s on the more heavier side” is an understatement. My sisters house has a second floor and lifting this monster up and down doesn’t scream convenience to me. 2.) It has a very weird and stiff manoeuvring mechanism. I don’t know how exactly to describe it. You have to use it to understand what i mean. 3.) THE HOSE… My sister showed me one time really quickly how to get this hose out of its dock but i seriously can’t remember anymore how she did it and since than i’ve been trying to get it of my self but it doesn’t matter what button i push or in what way i grab and pull it, it won’t come of. I have to ask my sister again on how to do it but it’s really frustrating that you basically have to look in the manual to figure out how to detach that hose from its dock. it shouldn’t be this complicated and it should be self explanatory, but it absolutely isn’t. 4.) You are absolutely dependent to use the hose because thanks to the stiffness of that thing and the shape of the intake you can’t go into the corners of a room with that. If you want your corners clean, you have to use to hose which is an extra step compared to every other normal vacuum out there were you can easily manoeuvre into a corner. Also, if you have stairs you also have to fiddle with the hose (like shown in that review) because like a said that thing is huge and heavy. This vacuum is super powerful but i just can’t deal with all the inconveniences. My sister actually wanted to return it for the same reasons but her husband convinced her to keep it and now she’s regretting that decision. Every standard 100$ vacuum is easier to manoeuvre and use than this thing. I will never ever complain about my cheap standard vacuum cleaner at home after i’m done using this monstrosity.

[@ModernCastle]

Lots of your criticisms are well founded. It's not super easy to maneuver, it's heavy, and the hose could be better. However, what it lacks in maneuverability it makes up for in raw power. That suction power is why you buy the Animal 2. That said, I would reconsider using a $100 vacuum. Any vacuum that cheap isn't a sealed system. Meaning a large portion of the dust you intake will just spit out of crevices and cracks in the vacuum as you're cleaning. You generally don't start seeing fully sealed / HEPA vacuums until $250+.

There is no fixing it. It's a common problem on the Animal 2 due to the incredibly high suction (and inability to vary said suction)

[@dolapogisanrin6608]

Remove the rubber gasket that goes around the edges of the brush head, that should fix it

[@charolotteking4299]

Whenever I have the vacuum sitting upright and turn the machine on, the top part of the handle (with the slots) creates a suction, but turns off when I pull the machine back to start vacuuming the floor. Is that supposed to happen? I’ve been trying to figure out if I set it up wrong or missed a step somewhere. It just seems odd that the suction comes on at the top

[@ModernCastle]

That's how it's supposed to work. If you're using the wand you would have the vacuum sitting up right. But once you start vacuuming with the full cleaning head the suction diverts back 100% to the floor.

[@richardfitzsimmons1740]

Can the belt be replaced or do you have to purchase a whole new cleaning head?

[@ModernCastle]

You may be able to take it to a Dyson service center for a belt replacement, but I don't believe you can purchase and replace the belt yourself.

[@tomj4554]

Hello. You mentioned you can adjust the height depending on floor or carpet thickness. How do I do that? This is my third Dyson and they ALL suck too hard on carpets, making it difficult to push.

[@ModernCastle]

Sorry for the miscommunication. But you cannot manually adjust height. Height of the clean deck is automatically adjusted based on floor type by the vacuum.

[@tomj4554]

That is why I am returning this machine. My wife can’t push it and are carpets are NOT that plush.

[@ModernCastle]

@@tomj4554 Some carpet types just don't work well with it. In fact, it seems that lower / mid range pile carpets are more problematic. You may want to look at the Dyson Ball Multi Floor 2, which is 250 AW of suction, as opposed to the 306 AW on the Animal 2. Or the Dyson V11 or V15, both of which offer variable suction.

[@blackice7408]

The suction chart thst you did is misleading. Yes the numbers are small across all vacs but what you have tk understand is that on the v11, the head is much smaller and it has a smaller footprint. Therefore, the suction power on the v11 is actually gonna be more powerful than the suction of the mulitfloor and even the animal2. Because the suction will be applied on a smaller cleaner head, the cleaning power will be more 'concentrated' on the v11 whereas the 305 airwatts on the animal 2 has to be applied tk a much wider and bigger cleaning head - which will be less concentrated because that suction will be applied to such a big area

Are there two different versions of the Dyson Ball Animal 2 with different suction powers (air watts)? I've tried researching this, even calling Dyson, but I am not getting clarification on this. Some sites state 270 air watts, and other sites state 306 air watts on the Dyson Ball Animal 2. I thought the 306 air watts is what differentiated the Dyson Ball Animal 2 from the Dyson Ball Animal. I'm so confused and would appreciate clarification. I have a kenmore elite upright with 280 aw, so I don't won't to purchase a less efficient vacuum.

Okay, just received clarification on this matter directly from Dyson. My third call to Dyson, all with different answers, so take it for what it's worth. I was told by this Dyson rep that the air watts at the cleaner head (brush bar) are 215 and 29O at the hose??? I have no idea where 306aw ever factored in. However, the rep told me that the air watts were POSSIBLY decreased due to complaints by consumers of there being too much suction. Since I prefer the stronger suction, i will stick with my Kenmore.

I think what you said is correct. Dyson Ball Animal 2 = 306 AW. Dyson Ball Animal (the original 1) = 270 AW I went to Dyson.com, which has historically included the AW within the specs on the product pages. However, they are now gone (for w/e reason).

I'm sorry to hear you've had such a poor experience with Dyson. To answer your question, yes, we do test Shark vacuums also. You can find all of our Shark vacuum reviews here - moderncastle.com/best-shark-vacuums/ As a side note - we really do love the Shark APEX Zero M. It did really well in our tests.

The dust sticking to the ball is a static dust that you have on TVs, laptops etc. not any sign of leaking.

I don’t know how long vacuums are supposed to last, but I’ve had a Dyson dc14 low reach since 2006. Just ordered it first replacement part (u bend). So I can’t really say Dyson is trash like Don Boucher... I appreciate the video, but where is the pet hair?

I found the Dyson animal useless. it's bulky and heavy. Difficult to empty and makes a huge mess.

[@ModernCastle]

What did you end up getting instead?
