The Dyson Ball Animal 3 is an upright vacuum designed to provide stronger cleaning on both carpets and hard floors than previous models, without requiring constant maintenance of the brush roller. This is due to the new de-tangling Motorbar cleaner head, which removes hair wrap as it spins. This feature will be especially beneficial for you if you have heavily shedding pets. Additionally, Radial Root Cyclone technology maintains suction strength by collecting dust and debris in the bin rather than allowing it to remain embedded in the rug. Plus, a variable speed switch enables three different suction settings so that you can match the level of suction required based on whether you are cleaning high-pile, medium-pile, or hard floors.
A powerful corded vacuum to help you clean the entire house
A key factor in the performance of the Dyson Ball Animal 3 Upright Vacuum is the Motorbar cleaner head and how it functions on a variety of floor types. The stiff nylon bristles embedded in the cleaner head remove dirt and pet hair that has become lodged in the carpet’s fibers, while the sealed contact with hard floors minimizes suction applied to the surface, reducing the likelihood of crumbs and dust being scattered. Hair removal vanes, located on the underside of the cleaner head, continually remove hair from the brushes as the cleaner head rotates during operation, maintaining airflow throughout the process and reducing the need for you to manually remove tangled hair from the brush bar.
You can choose from three available suction levels, depending on your needs: one for deep-pile carpets, one for medium-pile carpets and larger debris, and one for low-pile carpets and hard floors where finer dust and dirt accumulate. To change suction levels, all you need to do is turn a dial on the handle.
Dyson Ball technology provides the maneuverability you desire when using the Animal 3 Upright Vacuum. The main body of the vacuum rests upon a large round ball, allowing you to twist your wrist to steer the vacuum rather than pulling a rigid frame. If you need additional reach to clean higher or lower surfaces, you can use the instant-release wand and long-reach hose to clean ceilings, stairs, and other hard-to-reach areas without lifting the entire unit.
With the included stair tool, combination tool, and five-year warranty, the $300 sale price of the Dyson Ball Animal 3 Upright Vacuum is a hefty drop from the $450 list price, offering strong suction, pet-specific tools, and extended reach for a wider range of cleaning tasks at a lower overall cost.
