Dyson Ball Animal 2 Review — 12 Tests & Objective Data
UPDATE 6/22/22 – Dyson just released the new Dyson Ball Animal 3. It’s better than Animal 2 in almost every functional area, while also being less expensive. See review here.
The Dyson Ball Animal 2 is one of the most well-known and high powered upright vacuums on the market. But is it right for you? Let’s break it down with our Dyson Ball Animal 2 review.
Highest Suction Vacuum
Dyson Ball Animal 2
The Dyson Ball Animal 2 has the most suction of any vacuum cleaner on the market (according to Dyson). It packs an unbelievable 306 AW of suction power driven by Dyson’s stacked cyclone design. It’s equipped with a handful of useful accessories and tools, which help expand the areas you can easily clean. It’s definitely an expensive machine, but suction power is truly unrivaled. Check Price

The Dyson Ball Animal 2 is the most powerful and highest performing upright vacuum cleaner Dyson makes. It’s designed to be the ultimate upright vacuum and remains one of Dyson’s flagship models even several years after its release.
Design of the Dyson Animal 2 upright vacuumThe Animal 2 utilizes Dyson’s ball design for improved manueverability (a welcome benefit given the weight).
Dyson Ball Animal 2 side viewIt also includes a self-adjusting cleaning head, clear dust bin (so you can always see what’s going on), and Dyson’s stacked radial cyclones.
Cyclones
The Dyson cyclones are really what drive the performance and power of the whole machine.
These cyclones spin particulates, dust, dirt, and debris through the centrifuge, allowing even the smallest particles to be removed or trapped within the filter.
Suction Power
According to Dyson, the Dyson Animal 2 has the strongest suction of any vacuum cleaner at an incredible 306 AW (air watts). This claim is based on the ASTM F558 test at the cleaner head itself.
For comparison, Dyson’s Multi Floor 2 has 250 AW of suction power and the Dyson V11 has 185 AW of suction power (on max mode).
See our Dyson Multi Floor 2 review and Dyson V11 review here for more information.
Also see our comprehensive Dyson Multi Floor 2 vs. Animal 2 comparison here.
The Dyson Ball
The Dyson Ball is more than just a sphere. The motor and other essential parts and electronics reside in the ball itself.

Self-Adjusting Brushroll
Lastly, we have the Dyson Animal 2 brushroll.
Dyson Animal 2 brushrollThe brushroll is motorized and is able to automatically adjust the height based on your floor type. This is a nice extra if you have multiple floor or carpet types around your home.
Washable Filter
The Dyson Ball Animal 2 includes a washable filter that will last the life of the vacuum (according to Dyson). If you do happen to lose or damage your filter they are inexpensive to replace.
The filter sits in the cyclones housing where it’s able to effectively capture small particulates. Vacuums with built in filters seem to be fairly rare. We have not tested many upright vacuums that include a filter.
Removing the Dyson Animal 2 HEPA filterOver the last 6 months the Modern Castle team has tested a number of air purifiers (using a laser based particulate measuring device). Our results from those tests have helped prove to me the importance of good quality filters, both in air purifiers and the vacuums themselves.
A vacuum that doesn’t have a filter is more likely to simply release those ultra fine particulates back into your room and air.
In any case, it’s a big plus in my mind that the Dyson Animal 2 has the washable filter.
Dyson Animal vs. Animal 2
One of the most common questions is whether or not to get the Dyson Animal or the Animal 2?
The Dyson Ball Animal 2 is the newer and upgraded version, but where are the biggest difference? The table below provides detailed side-by-side specs of the Dyson Animal vs. Animal 2.

As you can see from the comparison above, the Dyson Animal vs. Animal 2 are more alike than they are different. The Animal 2 is a definite upgrade over the original Animal, but they aren’t massively different.
The biggest challenge is simply finding the original Dyson Animal upright. It’s not as widely available as it used to be, so finding it at all can prove difficult.
In most cases, I think I would prefer the Dyson Ball Animal 2 for sheer suction power alone. The Animal 2 has 24.9% more suction than the original Dyson Animal upright.
Both the Dyson Animal 2 and Animal typically include the same accessories (see below for details), which includes the combination tool, stair tool, and turbine tool.
Some Animal 1 packages will also include the up top tool (allows you to more easily clean on top of furniture and cabinets). Always double check the spec sheet to see the full list of accessories that’s included.
Size & Dimensions
The Dyson Ball Animal 2 is:
- Height: 42.13″
- Length: 15.35″
- Width: 13.39″
- Weighs: 17.5″
In addition, it has a 35 foot power cord and a maximum reach of 50 feet.
Accessories & Parts
Unlike Dyson’s V-series vacuum, which include a large number of accessories, the Dyson Animal 2 only includes a few basic (but important accessories):
Accessories for the Dyson Animal 2 upright vacuumThe Animal 2 includes:
- Combination tool – part crevice tool and part dusting brush, this is a 2-in-1 tool that serves both purposes. The dusting brush simply slides outward to use or backward to store.
- Stair tool – primarily designed for stairs, this is a non-motorized straight suction tool with a wider mouth. Could also be used on upholstery, mattresses, or other fabrics where agitation might be too much.
- Turbine tool – this is a motorized brushroll and provides more agitation, making it a better choice for deeper handheld cleaning (especially in cases where you aren’t as worried about protecting a fabric)
Cleaning Performance
Unsurprisingly, the Dyson Animal 2 dominated our cleaning tests.

Because the Animal 2 has such incredible suction it pulled the cleaning head down into the carpets. As a result, the cereal (which was sitting higher up on the carpet) was largely pushed forward.

That said, had we used the hose we could have easily removed it.
Usability & Maneuverability
Despite being on the heavier side, the Animal 2 is still fairly easy to move around the home.

- Weight: 17.5 pounds
- Turning: 90°
- Reach: 50 feet
- Cord: 35 feet
Extension Wand
The combination of the extension wand and hose give the Dyson Animal 2 an extra 15 feet of reach.
This is ideal for cleaning up high, under / behind furniture, or even cleaning stairs. You can simply leave the base of the vacuum at the base of the stairs, while you walk with the light wand in hand.

Dyson Ball
As we discussed above, the Dyson Ball is a big part of the maneuverability.
With most of the electronics and motor stored within the ball it gives the Animal 2 a low center of gravity.
This helps more easily turn the vacuum, when combined with the smooth rolling ball.
Dust Bin
The large clean dust bin is 0.55 gallons (2.08 liters).
It can be easily removed from the unit. The contents are emptied using the release button top of the bin.
Removing the canister dust binFor example, this allows you to place the bin partially in or over a trash can and then release the dust. This method helps you get more of the dust into the trash and prevents it from escaping back into the room.
Maintenance
Maintenance on the Dyson Ball Animal 2 is right to the point.
- Periodically empty the dust bin
- Wash the filter (about once per month is sufficient for most homes)
- Periodically examine the brushroll and remove any hair or other debris
That is really about it.
I’m a big fan of both Dyson’s upright vacuums and their cordless stick vacuums. One of the big reasons is the lifetime washable filter.
These filters simply slide into the top of the dust bin and capture fine particulates. Most are rated as HEPA filters, which means they can remove particulates as small as 0.3 microns.
Not having to worry about buying and installing a new filter every 6-12 months is a huge value add, in my opinion.
Is the Dyson Animal 2 worth it?
In a word, yes. The Dyson Ball Animal 2 is worth it and an excellent value for the money.
This isn’t a cheap vacuum, but that should come as no surprise. The Dyson Animal 2 is one of Dyson’s flagship vacuums and one of the most powerful commercial vacuum cleaners every made.
Dyson Animal 2 upright vacuum reviewWith 306 AW of suction power there is virtually no surface it cannot effectively clean.
The extra tools and accessories are a nice value add, as is the lifetime washable filter.
If you want raw cleaning power then you’ve got to pay for it. The Dyson Ball Animal 2 is well worth the money and easily the best upright vacuum we’ve tested to date.

Summary:
Dyson Ball Animal 2 convinces with a lovely facelift, a powerful suction and a neat swivel neck. All the advances from previous uprights except the Cinetic technologies are here. The quality of the materials is A+. I rally like the way things snap together. This product can be used not only as an upright, but also for tackling messes above the floor. The instant release wand coupled with the tangle-free turbine is a worthy combo. Overall, a great choice for average-sized homes.
More Details
For this summer, Dyson heats things up by offering their latest upright, the Dyson Ball Animal 2, at a really attractive price.
Never before have I seen a new high profile upright from these guys for under $400. When it comes to choosing a Dyson Ball upright, there are so many options, one can easily get confused. I will help you out with a straight explanation and a comparison chart between Dyson’s main upright models. And that’s not all you’ll find out from me in this post. Their recently introduced Animal 2 is an amazing work of art. Dyson tried to engineer a pretty powerful suction into a compact device. The result: a vacuum cleaner which can be used on all kind of flooring, starting with carpets and ending with bare floors such as hardwood, tile or vinyl. This is made possible by the standard self-adjustable cleaner head. The Animal 2 has been specifically designed for homes with pets and kids who love to get messy!
So, to get things going, here’s the resume of this review:
- I’ll list the exact specs of this vacuum cleaner
- I provide professional insight on its pros and cons
- I’ll compare all the uprights made by Dyson, including the Animal 2
- I’ll show you where you can find a good deal
Dyson Ball Animal 2 design
Dyson Ball Animal 2 specs
As always, I have a few variables I always talk about. Let’s start with…
The cleaning power
The suction power is rated at 270AW by Dyson. All their other models have a lower AW (i.e. the Cinetic Big Ball has 245AW). There’s a big sticker on the body of the upright which says it’s the vacuum cleaner with the highest suction power on the market. This is not the first time Dyson brags about suction. It’s clearly a marketing technique, seen also i.e. in SharkNinja’s products; and as you can imagine, there were a few legal actions on this matter. I’ll definitely do a comparison between the latest Shark Powered Lift-Away DuoClean which I’ve just reviewed and this Dyson, but until then, suffice to say the Animal 2 can really “suck”! No matter if you using it on carpets or hard floors, the auto-adjustable nozzle does its job right.
As for cleaning above the floor, it can clean upholstery, sofas and curtains with the help of the quick-release wand.
Input power
It uses 1400W (11.67 amps at 120V) to power its strong motor. It’s more than what other uprights need, but still economical enough.
Bin Capacity
The .55 gallons bin can be emptied hygienically with just a push of a button. The size is almost the same as in the case of the Big Ball Cinetic, which is sufficient. Any bigger would have meant a heavier, chunkier product. After playing with it for a while, I have a small piece of advice: make sure you empty the recipient when the debris reaches the MAX indicator. The size of the bin should allow you to clean as much as 3000 sq ft in one go.
Filtration
The whole vacuum cleaner is rated HEPA. Similarly with all recent Dysons, the Animal 2 also received the seal of approval/excellence from the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. However, this vacuum cleaner doesn’t contain the Cinetic Technology seen in their top model, so you’ll still have to wash the lifetime filter from time to time.
Dimensions
It measures 42.13″ (height) x 15.35″ (width) x 13.39″ (dept) and weighs around 17 lbs, which means it’s almost 2 lbs lighter than the Cinetic. It’s not at all that heavy or huge as I have expected. The nozzle has a width of 13.3″. The power cord can stretch as long as 35 ft. Adding the hose length and the accessories, one reach as far as 50 ft. It so compact that it resembles with the Dyson Small Ball.
Warranty
One of the best parts about buying a Dyson is that it comes with a 5 year warranty. And as I presented to you a while ago, Dyson customer care means business. You can be safe knowing that you will be taken care of if needed.
Usability
The unit can be assembled in less than 1 minute. The Dyson Ball Animal 2 can work on almost any kind of surface (tile, carpet, wood). It comes with an instant release wand that makes it easier to reach any part of the house. Users can reach both high places and under the furniture with this feature. The swivel steering works well on the ball. The noise however is a bit high. The materials feel great, and the design is attractive as usual.
Special features
I would have loved some LED lights. Unfortunately, besides the items described above, there’s not much one can add. The self-adjusting nozzle is as always, a great addition. The power cord is long enough to satisfy even the most demanding housewife. The filters are lifetime washable and as a result, there’s no need to replace anything in this product, even after a few years of sustained use.
Accessories/Attachments
It can work with various accessories, out of which three are already included in the box:
- the combination tool
- the stair tool
- the tangle-free turbine tool
You can purchase separately:
- the Dyson groom tool – good for taking care of pets
- the articulating hard floor tool – useful for hard-to-reach places in hard floors
- the Flat Out floor tool – great for reaching under furniture
- the stiff bristle brush – helps to remove stubborn grime
- the soft dusting brush – useful for cleaning sensitive equipment
- the carbon fiber soft dusting brush – useful for cleaning glass
- the multi-angle brush – reach high drapes and fan blades
- reach under tool – even more versatile than the Flat Out floor tool
- the mattress tool – obviously, great for vacuuming mattresses.
I am amazed by their selection. By the way, if you order directly from Dyson, you get to choose from the list above 3 extra attachments for free.
Price
The product can be bought directly from the producer, or from their store on Amazon. It is cheaper than the peak of the line, the Cinetic Big Ball upright version.

It’s perhaps one of the most well-made bagless uprights on the market, and 5 years of warranty means business. Here’s my VGM for the Animal 2:

Yes, this can be a big problem when transporting from one place to another, climbing stairs, climbing to higher places, etc.
- Cables : You have a cable, and although it is long, it has its limitations. If the cord does not reach somewhere, you will have to change the plug to a closer outlet. And if there is no outlet in that place, you have to resort to extension cords, etc. That's why it's less portable than wireless.
- Size : they are also usually larger, although not as large as industrial ones.
But this type of vacuum cleaner usually has a considerable body size, so it will not be easy to transport or store.

For example, you should consider buying a sled vacuum cleaner if you experience one of the following situations:

Other times, it has a load, but its autonomy is not enough for everything you need to vacuum and it will leave you halfway.

With this model, Shark has moved the controls to the top of the handle so you can adjust everything with your thumb. Now it's much easier to start and stop cleaning or adjust power settings.
There are other minor improvements: the nozzles are easy to clip onto the storage clips and the hose is now more securely in place.
Everything else is as usual: the DuoClean nozzle quickly removes dirt on all surfaces, and the Anti Hair Wrap technology prevents hair from clogging the rollers.
In Lift-Away mode, the main cylinder can be extended, making the cleaner more manoeuvrable for cleaning stairs or getting under furniture. For most homes, this is the ideal vacuum cleaner.

Thanks to its long range, you won't have to pick it up too often. The main advantage of the large body is the 3 liter container, so you can clean a large house without having to empty the vacuum frequently. This vacuum cleaner is a Pet version, which means it has a motorized brush with an anti-tangle attachment that really works: we didn't find a single hair clogging this vacuum cleaner. Performance on carpets and hard floors was excellent, and this is one of the most powerful vacuum cleaners we've tested. Our only small gripe is the lack of a mini upholstery tool with a motor.
If you are looking for a large and powerful bagless cylindrical vacuum cleaner, this is the one we recommend.

Easy
Kaptima Optima.
it is so common to see cylindrical vacuum cleaners, which is a pity, given the quality of the Hoover Telios Extra TX50PET. This vacuum cleaner is very powerful, sucking up dust with ease in all of our tests. It is best to use the 2-in-1 floor nozzle, as the special carpet nozzle has too much suction and is difficult to push. The vacuum cleaner has a handy accessory compartment so you can take your brush and crevice tool with you wherever you go. The sofa nozzle works great on pet hair for a quick clean.
Hoover has made sure that the Telios Extra TX50PET vacuum cleaner is easy to store: it can stand both vertically and flat, while the floor nozzle is inserted into the holder and the hose is wrapped around the body.
Emptying the vacuum cleaner is easy as the EPA bags are simply removed and discarded. Please note that these are HEPA bags, so homes with allergy sufferers might want to look elsewhere. Anyone looking for a neat and affordable barrel vacuum cleaner for pet homes will love this affordable option.
It comes with a standard Dyson nozzle that works great on both carpets and hard floors. When more detailed cleaning is required, the attachment can be removed and a crevice tool and brush combo can be used, as well as a soft brush for finer work. Since this model is made for allergy sufferers, a mattress tool is also included to keep your bed clean. However, the vacuum cleaner only has room for two of the three tools. You also get Dyson premium filtration, including dual washable filters to keep allergens trapped in the container.
At first we found the container a bit tight to open, but over time it should loosen up, allowing you to pour dust directly into the main container with one finger without spilling it all over the place.
Allergy friendly The Dyson Small Ball Allergy is certified safe for asthmatics and allergy sufferers, making it an excellent choice. If allergies aren't your top priority, there are some more flexible vacuum cleaners on this list.

One of the features of this vacuum cleaner is its light body (4.94 kg), which makes it easy to move. The container on the front means you can't slip the main floor brush under all the furniture.
Luckily you can pull out the brush and hose (although you have to attach them by hand) so you can do some detailed cleaning.
The overall performance of the vacuum cleaner is good, although I found that it did not clean very well in carpet mode; switching and using the hard floor mode on most surfaces compensates for this.
But what impresses me about this vacuum cleaner is its low price. If you don't want to spend a fortune on a top-of-the-line model, this simple and effective inexpensive model is a good alternative.

Shark Bagless Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner CZ500UKTShark is best known for its upright and cordless models, but with the Sharker Cylinder Vacuum Cleaner without a bag to collect the Shark Cylinder Z0UKT Cleaner garbage company introduced its first cylindrical vacuum cleaner. This model has many of the features we've come to know and love from Shark vacuums, just in a different form factor.
Cylinder vacuums are often easier to move as you drag the cylinder along with you. In this case, Shark made the job very easy with four casters.
If there's one problem with cylindrical vacuum cleaners, it's that the controls are on the main unit, so you have to bend down to use them. In this case, this is not the case, since all the controls are on the handle, and you can switch power and change modes with a flick of your thumb,
In the box you get a motorized pet tool, a crevice tool and a brush, giving you many options for detailed cleaning. The main nozzle is DuoClean (works both on hard floors and carpets) with the Anti Hair Wrap function (hair does not wrap around the rollers).
The cleaning performance is the same as Shark's upright vacuum cleaners, that is, excellent. The only small remark is that the vacuum cleaner is a little bulky when stored, although the same remark can be made for all cylindrical vacuum cleaners.
