Verdict

The Dyson Big Ball Multifloor 2 is a bagless, corded canister vacuum cleaner delivering 170 Air Watts of powerful suction driven by a 600-watt motor, featuring Radial Root Cyclone technology and whole-machine HEPA filtration that traps 99.97% of fine particles. Weighing 7.5 kg with a 1.5-liter dust bin, its key advantages include a pneumatic cleaner head that automatically adjusts across carpets and hard floors, a 10.5-meter total reach, and a unique self-righting design that automatically picks the canister back up if it topples. However, it lacks a suction release valve, can be physically difficult to push forward on thick or deep-pile carpets, and lacks dedicated on-board storage clips to hold its extra accessory tools.
