What We Dislike about the Dyson Ball Multi Floor 2

[@cjboac9864]

You have to slightly lift the vacuum head to try to get the larger debris such as cherries then it works!

[@errormachine5056]

I bought his vacuum and for the most part I like it, better than my old Bissell. One downside nobody seems to point out, the hose. It is designed to extend but the vacuum suction is so powerful that it doesn't allow the hose to extend. I have literally had it extended, then turned it on and it sucked up the vacuum and knocked itself over. I've learned to deal with it by slinging the hose over my shoulder, but the hose is basically not extendable because the vacuum is too powerful.

[@miagi84]

Does the brush rollers turn off automatically using the hose?

[@errormachine5056]

@@miagi84 yes. When the vacuum is vertical the brush is off and lower suction is off and it only runs through the hose up the handle. I still love the turning axis and handling and suction of this vacuum. I do thoroughly clean it about every 4 months or so while I watch a movie or something to keep it in tip top condition .

[@valconstantinescu8484]

All Dyson have this issue..

[@tacoshells1]

Great and thorough review. All of the issues you identify are issues I've encountered. As you correctly point out, those issues are not necessarily prohibitive.

[@PAGodinez]

I just saw your V8 and V10 comparison BEFORE I ran to Redwood City, Ca. to exchange the V8 animal+ with the V10.... THANK YOU! RE this demo and going over the thick white rug and having it drag over it, this reminded me of Mom's Electrolux. We had wall-to-wall carpets everywhere (which were beautiful and cozy), and the bristles coupled with the tiny steel wheels seemed tough not to mention dragging that vacuum around the house, but she did it EVERY Saturday. She was a super mom!

[@Bekindtopeople]

The suction release valve I believe is on the top of the vac, by the handle.

[@conradhadnett7802]

Looks very nice very different than ordinary vacuum suction power great I expected to be a less noisier but to me it's one dB too high in noise my friend loves it. Thank you

[@berminla]

With so many reviews and so many choices, what would YOU purchase for your home that has mostly porcelain tile / hardwood floors with a few rugs sprinkled about? Not SO worried about price. More about having something that lasts longer (worried about battery only that you can't change as they do die eventually). We have 2 hypoallergenic dogs so not too much pet hair to worry about. Fairly large house. Thoughts?

[@Mr.D.Michael]

Which one out of this one and the DC50 with the Two Tier Cyclones has the better suction? Thanks.

[@joyvillanueva9743]

So far now it works really really good.

[@pauljackson9716]

Wish I had seen this review before my purchase. The vacuum is near impossible to push across my carpet. Returning for a different brand.

[@DangerMum242]

I just watched a KZbin video that shows how to put o-rings on the cleaner head to "fix" this issue. Hopefully it works. I'm also livid at needing to "fix" a brand new vacuum to make work on CARPET.

[@myathehappy_1]

Thank-you so much, saved me years of aggravation as I'll look for something else.

[@TimStiles]

My brush just stops when used on pretty much the same carpet (rug) you show in your video. Yet in yours it still spins. Do I have a defective unit? I literally just got it.

[@brandywilliams210]

Good to know. We just bought a white shag rug and I was considering buying this for that room and the kitchen which is hardwood... and I always have piece of dog food that needs to be picked up. Don’t like the idea of having to use the wand for every piece of large debris. 👍🏻.. thanks for the review. Helped me out a lot. Didn’t buy this product.

[@VacuumAdvisor]

Glad you found it useful.

[@valconstantinescu8484]

For Dyson small ball: If you have on the floor a large size debris (rice size) the vacuum will push it around.

[@Wigglythegreat2]

That's no problem with the larger pieces for me as the dog will get those.

[@dunnoyolo2238]

it needs a blow off /Suction valve for thick/thin carpet you can set like shark does

[@moonbeam5188]

Love your reviews but would love to see you and Dr. Drew do a review together. You remind me of brothers.

[@dp2732]

Who would want to waste fruit loops on a presentation 😂. Won’t be an issue at my house.

[@Lisa-ir1yb]

Lol. No wasted fruit loops here as well. 😂

[@farooq2000]

Which Dyson model do you recommend for deep pile carpets/rugs?

[@GrandmaSezSo]

It would be nice to know. How I wished they would follow up on comments.

[@blackice7408]

@@GrandmaSezSo go with their stick vacs. They're adjustable in both suction and with the cleaner head through suction relief channels

[@GrandmaSezSo]

@@blackice7408 Thank you. Can you recommend a particular model? I have a dog and carpet in every room. Indoor outdoor type in kitchen and a deeper pile everywhere else. Like 70's shag. It is awful but can't afford to do replace it.

[@blackice7408]

@@GrandmaSezSo v15/v15+. It's the latest one and it has anti hair tangle tech in the main cleaner head and the mini motor tool. The plus version will come with a teal colored filter that filters down to 0.1 microns vs 0.3 with every other hepa dyson vac along with some other features

[@GrandmaSezSo]

@@blackice7408 Dyson V15 Detect+ is way out of my price range. Thanks though.

[@yajustgotaloveit]

Excellent video, you talked me out of it, no need to see the 2nd video.

[@chubakalabra]

Thanks for the review. You're the man !

[@imageskj1]

Dyson is very frustrating to use. You didn't even mention the impossible to keep extended hose. Just buy a Shark. Cheaper, quieter, no issues. I've owned numerous of both and Shark wins hands down.

[@christineschmidt1025]

We bought a Shark and it just spit out dirt and we never could get it to work, so took it back, got this Dyson and we love our Dyson Multifloor 2!

[@margebailey2234]

I have had a dyson that may son broke the handle...i have a cheaper shark...I will buy dyson next....shark is not as good in my opinon

[@tomaxxamot2016]

The first sharks I bought all stopped working for no reason after awhile

[@hamzahassan7730]

DC14 is much better. Mostly because it’s higher quality. Stronger plastic, easy to maintain, less chance of a clog and don’t forget the metal wand.

[@thereallincolntakanashi]

All Dysons are very hard to push on VERY high pile carpet. Also my comrade has this, and after I shared this with her shes thinking of its retirement plan. :)

[@RedRubyStones]

Mine is not sucking up much even on smooth hardwood floor. I've had it almost 2 years now. Does great on carpet, but not on smooth floor. Regret buying it.

[@danielebrparish4271]

I fixed the same problem last night. A piece of trash lodged in the hose at the bottom causing a buildup of debris. Remove the vacuum floor head and remove the debris using a pencil or some other makeshift probe. Can be done in less than 5 minutes.

[@blakaeg]

What I dislike about it. It's a Dyson - flimsy plastic, not built to last because Dyson stop supporting and making parts after only 8 years after production. The plastics are so damn thin and bend easily, make a horrible creaking sounds and the handle also bends like a cheap plastic toy. Overpriced. Dysons company ethics stink, a very aggressive company that thinks it's Apple. But basically it's a horribly made machine. Despite Dysons 'tests' it would spin break in a household that is a little heavier handed.

[@samgod]

Ugh, I read a TON of great reviews about great Dysons are and a few about how cheap and flimsy they are. So then I look at the cheaper Sharks. A ton of great reviews but people then complain about Shark's horrible customer service and how their 5 year warranty doesn't cover the most important part: the unit's head. Seems like Sharks are more quiet, quite cheaper, but with poor customer support and less suction than Dysons. As for the squeaky, thin plastic, I'm not sure if it's due to cheap design or if the parts are deliberately designed to have some give and flex as excess rigidity would be more prone to breaking. You mentioned Apple. Fair comparison. I remember the iPhone 5 felt cheap when it was first released because of its overall lower density than prior models. It obviously wasn't cheaply made, but the lower density psychologically felt so.

[@medeirosm90]

I own two Dyson and they perform just fine and aren’t flimsy, Whether they are or not, they are non-the less the top of my machines out there with the shark right behind them this is the best vacuum I’ve had in years because every other vacuum my own broke or died within six months and I always kept up on their maintenance

[@samgod]

Thank you.

[@susanparker9873]

I don't have a thick pile carpet the beaters work for a few seconds then shuts off, what am i doing wrong?

[@cjboac9864]

It is a loud noisy machine though!

[@MichaelBradley1967]

Dyson makes whisper quiet fans. Why not vacs too?

[@jta1973]

So, don't vacuum shag carpet in the 70's and sweep bare floors with a broom instead of a Dyson. Got it.

[@rketek]

I hate this vacuum so much. The problem on the carpet, a small dust canister, the dust gets stuck, and I'm not terribly impressed with the ball in helping to turn. It's gimmicky. The very worst is the poor design of the way the hose is curved around in a very small radius makes it clog very easily. I've had to take the thing apart every other time I use it. Some curse words may have been said.

[@everythingrc2324]

Who doesent use the tube for large debris? Lmao

[@jeremyb9835]

Love your reviews! But, DO NOT BUY THIS DYSON! The quality of their products went downhill. I have this model and the handle became loose and the ball makes a cheap creeky sound. 😒

[@DWilliam1]

This model is complete garbage. The beater bar and roller stop spinning on ANY plush carpet low or high. I cannot vacuum 3 out of the 4 rugs in my house. Shame because I had the original multifloor and had zero problems with it. Too bad the wife got it in the divorce.

[@juliascherrer134]

So disappointed....vacuum only works on low pile. So much suction the vacuum won't move and the roller won't spin. Total joke. What good is it if you can't vacuum. They brag about suction....but who cares...it doesn't work!!!!

[@DWilliam1]

Julia Scherrer correct!

[@brandynlsn2005]

I absolutely hate my dyson, would take my shark professional over my dyson any day.

[@leeannmansfield5254]

No way im gonna buy the yelloe one...it sounds nasty...cheap....IVE HAD MANY DYSONS AND ALL WERE AMAZEING NO PROBLEM EVER...

[@Firebrand55]

You're too kind to this awful machine....all the points you picked out are intensly irritating, based on a very poor design. It defies belief that a cleaner of 2019 is no better tha those of yesteryear....a plastic nightmare starting with the noise of the thing....then plastic bits start falling off....then the annoying emptying...the over-design kills the raison d'être of a cleaner.....there's more, but.....I can't go on....

[@paelzermaedche-px4qd]

It's a piece of junk.

[@seanohealthrite8799]

How much are you paid by Dyson?this vacuum is a plastic piece of junk ring clip keeps falling off maintenance extremely high or it won't perform well..only on this vacuum 6 months from brand new and it's already falling apart plastic plastic plastic only way these machines work is if you maintenance them every time you use
