Ball Animal Total Clean Upright Vacuum

Excellent equipment, not cheap, and it works like it! Professional tools aren't cheap, but they are designed for superior performance. Very simple to use, and powerful too. I bought it to pickup dog hair, and it really works. And even on long hallways there is always plenty of cord. A excellent design.

For the past few years, I've been struggling with my Shark. Even though it was advertised for pets, it constantly clogged and could barely keep up with my one dog. Finally, it broke, and I was relieved because it gave me the excuse to buy this. Oh my... I can't even put into words how much better this Dyson is to my old Shark. Turning it on for the first time, I could just FEEL it's power and I immediately knew I made a good purchase. Pros * Easy to set up and get started * Tons of tools for specific use cases. I've cleaned some areas that haven't been touched in years. * Incredibly powerful suction. This beast will get EVERYTHING up. * Great capacity. The collector holds a lot more than my previous vacuum, so I'm stopping less to empty it. This is great, because it's extra power definitely picks up a lot more hair and dirt, so that extra space is welcome. * Very easy to maneuver. While the ball does make it a bit harder to get deep under couches and stuff, it glides across the floor and turns like a dream. The extra attachments are super easy to swap out, so this is a worthwhile tradeoff. I know these things are expensive. I held off getting one for years because I just didn't see how it would be worth it. But after suffering through a few years with a slightly cheaper but vastly inferior product, I can confidently say this is absolutely worth the money.

"The only thing this vacuum picks up is my blood pressure." I bought this vacuum hoping it would live up to its name and price tag. Between a full-time career and raising kids, my schedule is packed; I needed a tool to make life easier. Instead, this has been a source of physical pain and constant frustration. ❌ Ergonomic Nightmare Despite the "Ball" design, this machine is incredibly heavy and cumbersome. I have small hands and wrists, and navigating this vacuum is a workout I didn't ask for. It does not pivot smoothly; it resists every turn. It’s so difficult to maneuver that I can't even ask my kids to help with their rooms—it's simply too much for them to handle. ❌ Zero Suction Control & Poor Height Adjustment We have a mix of hardwood and carpet, and the transition is a disaster: Suction Issues: There is no way to adjust the suction. On carpet, you have to practically "yank" the vacuum across the floor just to move it. Design Flaws: The front of the vacuum sits too high. It won’t fit under kitchen counter along the trim, yet it’s too low to pick up something as small as a pebble. You have to stop, pull out the hose, or awkwardly flatten the handle to the floor just to get basic debris. Button Placement: The power button and the roller brush button are right next to each other. You end up hitting the wrong one constantly. ❌ The "Hose from Hell" The hose design is baffling. There is a blue plastic pipe inside that you have to manually remove every time you want to clean the stairs. If you leave it in, the hose kinks, the suction dies, and the entire vacuum tips over because it’s so top-heavy. ❌ High-Maintenance Features The Cord: While long, it doesn't retract. In a 3,000sq ft house, you’ll spend half your time manually winding a massive cord. Cheap Build: For the price, the plastic feels flimsy and "budget," which is insulting given the cost. The Intake Vent: This is the most bizarre design choice—the vent is right by the handle. If you are wearing a blouse or bracelets, the vacuum tries to eat your clothes and jewelry while you work. Final Verdict If you value your wrists and your sanity, stay away. This is a heavy, poorly balanced, and over-engineered headache. I strongly suggest testing one in person before you commit—don't let the "premium" branding fool you like it did me.

I have plants, pets, kids, and crafts and let me just say OVER 9000 stars! This vacuum is HANDS DOWN The best investment in terms of vacuums. Clogs are a thing of the past with how this vacuum is built. There are so many places that things get stuck where before it would take a miracle and a coathanger to solve on regular vacuums, not this one. There are main points that have latches and flips for easy clog clean up. The vacuum also picks up dirt SO WELL. I've been telling my husband I'll never regret this purchase, and I wont. I bought this in July 2025 its Jan 2026 and NOTHING is wrong with it, its like its brand new still suction and all. The durability, suction, speed (not needing as many passes), easy to clean, just everything 👌 its perfect. Ive had all kinds of vacuums including the shark ones that were fantastic at first but last about as long as zebra stripe gum due to it being harder to clean than a house of hoarders. Stop wasting time, money, and coat hangers and let this thing save your life.

My previous vacuum was an older model Dyson. It worked great. I zoomed around the house without a care. With this vacuum, I can't vacuum rugs. They get sucked partially into the cleaning head. That's whether I have the beater rotation on or off. This thing really sucks!

Awesome vacuum lots of suction, but too much suction. Very very hard to push. Very simple fix. Just install Orings on tabs of lower plate that seals the head to the carpet to create vacuum leak. It still works perfect on carpet and so much easier to push. check Utube to see short repair video.
