What We Loved

  • Allergen-containment seal
    designed for allergy sufferers in mind this machine captures the smallest dust and dirt particles from being blown back into the air thanks to its heperilter which is sealed
  • Assembly and Setup
    the Dyson is now fully assembledquick release wand which requires no assembly whatsoever
  • Attachment variety & compatibility
    it has a pet grooming brush so it has all of these accessories in the boxyou've got nice accessories on board this brush with the crevice tool...and the stair tool as well
  • Brush roll design
    selfcleing brush roll so you don't have to maintain itwide diameter brush bar...makes it ideal for even the thickest of carpetshas a comb behind the brush bar so it's supposed to be self cleaningentire brush roll just slides out for easy cleaning
  • Brush-roll removal/access for cleaning
    press on that you can actually remove the entire brush roll like so the entire brush roll just slides out for easy cleaningremovable brush roll unlike Shark vacuums which don't have removable brush bars anymore
  • Build quality & durability
    it's plastic but it's a high quality plastic you don't really see any of these snap in half
  • Cleaning performance on carpet
    I can deep clean the thickest of carpets very very well because of its powerful motor and its fantastic cleaner head design
  • Cleaning performance on hard floors
    it works tremendously well on harding as well because it can pick up large debris and the finest of dust particles
  • Dust-bin capacity
    large dust bin capacitynice large bin capacity
  • Dust-bin emptying
    emptying it is really simple...just press the button again and the trap door opens up allowing for the dirt to fall out into your bin
  • Ease of use
    maintenance is very easyeasy to take apart and clean
  • Edge-cleaning effectiveness
    edge cleaning is pretty good not the best but it is pretty goodon the left hand side the edge cleaning was really good...on the front it doesn't really do that well...on the right hand side is pretty much just as good as the left hand side
  • Ergonomics
    when you pull the pipe the machine just follows you around instead of falling over which is nice
  • Filter replacement ease
    filters are maintained whenever they get dirtyfilters are washable and have a large surface area so they capture more allergens
  • Filtration quality (HEPA rating, multi-stage)
    heperilter which is sealedwashable lifetime filter
  • Hair-wrap prevention / anti-tangle tech
    the anti- hair design seems to work pretty wellhair has pretty much cleaned itself off the brush roll but it's not spinning with the brush roll because it's caught on the teeth of the combs
  • Handle comfort & grip
    this wand is extremely lightweight to use because it's plastic
  • Large-debris pick-up
    default mode which basically allows for these gaps on the front of the cleaner head to open up to aid in large debris pickup on hard floorsit works tremendously well on harding as well because it can pick up large debris
  • Maneuverability & swivel steering
    it has ball technology so it's easy to maneuversteers really well making sharp 90° turns around furniture
  • Ongoing ownership costs (bags, filters, batteries)
    washable lifetime filter so there's no extra running costs
  • Pet-hair pickup efficiency
    the best Dyson for pet hair and deep down dirt removaltangle-free turbine brush...supposed to be tangle-free...impressive
  • Power-cord length & auto-retract (corded)
    50 ft cleaning rangevery long cable on it as well
  • Suction Power
    this machine is so powerfulhas the highest suction powervery impressivemore powerful suction and air flowfirst of all it's extremely powerful
  • Suction-power feel (real-world)
    has the highest suction powerfirst of all it's extremely powerful
  • Tool-change simplicity
    at the push of that button and the stair tool as well
  • Under-furniture clearance
    it adjusts really well to wherever bumpy surface trying to vacuum
  • Value-for-money
    I would rate the Summary Dyson Ball Animal 3 Extra a solid 9 out of 10
  • Weight
    wand is extremely lightweight to use
  • Wheel & bumper durability
    four rubberized roller wheels so it's kind against your hard flooring

Just Okay

  • Battery runtime / Charging time
    no mention of battery or runtime since it's a corded model
  • Charging time (cordless)
    no mention (corded model)
  • Customer support
    no mention

Needs Improvement

  • Cyclone performance
    the cyclone technology isn't as good as the older Dyson Cyclone technology because the filters now get dirtier far quicker than before
  • Pet grooming brush safety
    why are these bristles metal and so stiff i don't recommend that on your pet i'll be afraid to use that

Dyson Ball Animal 3 Review - Vacuum Wars

What We Loved

  • Airflow (CFM)
    had almost identical suction and airflow numbers in our tests.
  • Attachment variety & compatibility
    the difference being the color and the number of attachments and accessories.
  • Cleaning path width
    smaller cleaning path width, which I actually prefer since it gives you more options when maneuvering in tight spaces.

    got a perfect score.
  • Cleaning performance on hard floors
    it was much better with hard floor pickup
  • Dust-bin emptying
    same hygienic bin emptying design
  • Extension-wand reach & adjustability
    15-foot hose and wand design
  • Filtration quality (HEPA rating, multi-stage)
    filtering particles down to 0.3 microns, which is just about as good as it gets in the vacuum world.
  • Hair-wrap prevention / anti-tangle tech
    had virtually no tangles
  • Large-debris pick-up
    makes it so much better for larger debris pickup on both hard floors and carpets.
  • Maneuverability & swivel steering
    really accurate swivel system, which generally makes it easy to maneuver.
  • Power-cord length & auto-retract (corded)
    longer cord at 35 feet
  • Suction power (air watts)
    had almost identical suction and airflow numbers in our tests.
