The Dyson product line is one of the most hyped and advertised in the recent years. This is the one that they push the most, the “Ball” line. The Animal Ball is the version of this product line that is specifically designed for homes with pets. The most important thing about any vacuum cleaner is the suction power. On that score this is generally a winner. Most everyone that has used it, even those who didn’t like it for one reason or another, will admit that the suction power is remarkable. The vacuum cleaners head size is 12.5 inches, less than others but that is due to its mobility design. The standard cord is 24 feet long, adequate for single rooms but less than some other models.

As to its vaunted maneuverability, almost everybody that’s used it has commented that its design is superior in that regard. There is a switch that turns off the brush motor for hardwood floors, although you can leave it set that way as the unit automatically turns it back on when you power it on again. Generally, this product does as it says it will do. But, the price is the most often mentioned negative. The retail list price is a whopping $549.00! That is a significant investment for any piece of equipment. In this case perhaps too much. Yes Dyson backs this up with a 5 year parts and labor warranty but for less than half you could find a high quality vacuum cleaner to do most of the work you need. Is it worth it? Yes. but be warned, your expectations could result in a negative reaction if your not ready for it.

I loved my Dyson DC14 and couldn’t resist buying the new DC25. Without question a delight to use and I love the new ball! (Replaces traditional vacuum wheel set so it maneuvers effortlessly! The best of the best! (I also like that the DC25 is a bit smaller than the DC14- just easier to use.)

Review

I hate cleaning. Particularly vacuuming, which is on par to cleaning the tub on the list of things I avoid until I absolutely cannot help it any more (which is usually when guests are coming over). The biggest compliment I can give this vacuum is that it makes me want to vacuum my floors. It is light. It was easy to assemble. It picks up hair from my two long hair black cats that embeds itself in my tan carpet. Best vacuum I’ve ever owned.
