What buyers say
Buyers consistently praise the Dyson Ball Animal 2 Plus for its strong suction that pulls up pet hair and deep dirt others leave behind, but many find it heavy and too powerful for lightweight rugs. The main trade-off is accepting its bulky, hard-to-push frame in exchange for a genuinely deep clean on wall-to-wall carpet.
Loved by buyers
- •Its suction easily outperforms other vacuums on pet hair, often finding dirt after a previous vacuuming.
- •The extra-long cord lets you cover multiple rooms without switching outlets.
- •It finishes the job in one pass, picking up so much that you can skip re-vacuuming.
Buyer concerns
- •It chews up small rugs and lightweight mats because the suction can't be dialed down.
- •The wide cleaning head and bulky design can't reach under standard sofas or beds.
- •On thicker carpets, it’s noticeably hard to push, which gets tiring.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does it work on bare floors like hardwood or tile?+
Yes, the self-adjusting cleaner head seals to hard surfaces and owners confirm strong suction across all floor types.
Can I use it to clean stairs?+
The included stair tool lets you clean stairs, but the vacuum body itself is too big for steps. You'll use the hose and attachment instead.
Does it have a dedicated pet hair brush?+
It doesn't have a motorized pet tool, but the combination tool and mattress tool help remove hair from upholstery and fabric.
