Verdict

The Dyson Ball Animal Multi-floor is a corded upright bagless vacuum cleaner featuring a 1.8-litre dustbin, a 10-metre power cord, and an overall reach of 14 metres via its flexible stretch hose. It uses a 90 AW suction system with 12 cyclones and advanced whole-machine filtration that captures 99.97% of microscopic particles down to 0.3 microns. Main characteristics and pros include its self-adjusting Motorbar cleaner head with automatic de-tangling hair removal vanes, an adjustable 3-mode suction slider, and ergonomic Ball technology for smooth steering. However, cons include its hefty 7.4 kg weight, which can make it heavy to push or lift, and its high suction power which can sometimes make it difficult to maneuver on deep-pile carpets.
