I owned this Dyson unit for just under a year. It was the worst vac I've ever used. The split beater bar design trapped hair constantly and was impossible to totally clear. This eventually caused the beater bar to destroy itself catastrophically while vacuuming and embed black plastic all over the carpet. I immediately loaded it up and returned it to Costco. Purchased a Dyson Ball Animal 3+ and absolutely love it. Skip this model.

Dyson usually has only a six month warranty vs eBay's 2-year & I'm concerned about dysons return policy.

I'm in the market, but reddit seems to abhor anything Dyson and while can appreciate that, I just wonder how much of that is reality and how much is the reddit hive mind for vacuum junkies.

Anyone have any thoughts on this model? 1/4 hardwood, 3/4 carpet home with long and short hair pets.

Excellent vacuum. Got mine back in 2018 after a Kirby (I think) salesman spent a few hours vacuuming our house and showing how bad of a job our old Dirt Devil does. I got Animal 2 used off Amazon for about $250. Had to email Dyson because one clip was missing and they sent it right away, no questions asked. Other than that, really happy with it. Although it does look like a plastic toy, the vacuum is still kicking and I have zero issues with its performance or features.

I should mention we don't have pets. We do have children and long hair everywhere.

Agreed. It also weighed like an elephant.

THIS is truth. Same EXACT experience. Each time it catastrophically failed, I called Dyson for the warranty. They've probably replaced the head probably at LEAST four times now. Would I buy it again? Absolutely not…NO way. Once it's out of warranty it's going to be a piece of junk for the landfill. Planned obsolescence by design.

I bought this when it was 149.99 and it had the SquareTrade warranty. The good thing is when it's near the warranty and it's not functioning like when you got it you can get it repaired and get reimbursed locally or file a claim and get your money back for what you paid for it without sending the vacuum back. It's a win win with the SquareTrade warranty.

I have 4 kids and 2 huge dogs. A cat. A lizard. Sometimes there's fish.

We live in a dirt yard.

This is the absolute best vacuum we ever used. And we can go through vacuums.

All these new battery vacuums pale in comparison.

I bought one of these refurbished units about 6 years ago. Still going strong. I can vacuum my whole house with the 30 ft cord. Never had one issue.

Had this unit and hated it. The suction cannot be sufficiently adjusted down for hile pile carpet or small rugs. It was almost impossible to move across our high pile carpet in the bedrooms. Dyson's reply was that "it's not compatible with all carpet types". Because of the ball design, it wouldn't fit under furniture where other vacuums would. The hose extension is too firm (vacuum tends to tip over when using the extension hose without stabilizing the vacuum with one hand) and difficult to access compared to other vacuums we had. We didn't keep ours long enough to comment on the beater bar failure, ours went back to Costco within a month. No wonder Dyson has so many refurbished units that they're trying to unload.

It's a good vacuum (plenty of suction power), but it's a real pain to maneuver. Got one several years ago and my wife absolutely hates it - it's big, clunky and difficult to turn. Other than that it's great.

Got a V11 a few years ago, and aside from the tiny cannister, it's great. Would highly recommend it. If you get one spend a couple bucks on eBay and get the little trigger attachment that keeps the trigger pulled for you.

Agree 100%. The rubber baffle design was terrible as it allowed the brush bar to suck in carpet and bind up way too easily. I took it back after having a dc 25 for years. Eventually found a ball animal 3 and it works well.
