Filter For Dyson Ball Animal 2
The Dyson Ball Animal 2 is one of the latest upright vacuums in the Dyson stable. The term “Animal” is intended to highlight its capabilities in households with pets, however there may be another reason. This vacuum cleaner is something of a beast. It is hugely powerful and also a bit of a handful to wield. Is this is a good thing? Well, for the most part it is good but in some cases it isn’t. The machine’s colossal suction ensures top notch cleaning of pet hair, bare floors, carpet, etc. but the weight of the vacuum makes it a little cumbersome despite the added maneuverabiity of “Ball Technology”.
To date the number of ratings for this vacuum is limited and we found less than 100. However, given that this is a Dyson there will be many more ratings in the coming months and we will update as appropriate.
Presently the owner ratings we found (see table below) result in an overall score of 93.9 out of 100 which is very good. You can compare this to the scores of other uprights in our upright vacuum ratings table, or you can see how it stacks up against all other vacuums in our vacuum cleaner finder application. The average score (at this time) for an upright on this site is about 81 out of 100.

The most commonly discussed characteristic of this machine is its incredibly strong suction. This is something all owners are very pleased with as it results in significant cleaning ability. Owners are also happy with the unit’s pickup (typical household dust & debris as well as pet hair) on both carpet and smooth surfaces.
Folks like the vacuum’s very long cleaning reach. The lengthy power cord, combined with the hose and wand, allows the vacuum to access the far reaches of a room without having to constantly hunt for a new electrical outlet.
Several owners report that they can smell the difference in the air quality in their rooms after vacuuming with the Ball Animal 2. We didn’t notice it but perhaps this depends on whether or not you have pets. This was brought up enough times by owners that it clearly was something quite a few people noticed.
Dyson Ball Animal 2 Has The Best Vacuum Suction I Have Owned
Others also like how easy the dust canister is to remove, empty and reattach, and that the filters are easy to access and also washable which saves money.
On the downside, several people have reported issues when vacuuming throw rugs. The vacuum’s powerful suction has a tendency to pull the rug up and it can get stuck to the nozzle. And, as with any vacuum, you also need to be very careful if your rug has tassles along the edge. This machine will attack them unless you turn off the brushroll.
In addition, there are some reports that the Active Base Plate on the bottom of the nozzle makes the machine harder to push on some very deep pile carpets – like shag.

This is also not a lightweight vacuum and despite the maneuverable ball technology you can feel the weight start to drag on your arm and shoulder over time. Moving the vacuum back and forth and around a room can get tiring, and if you are doing an entire house at one go you will likely feel it.
Finally, an annoyance that has been dogging Dyson uprights for a while is the mechanism for locking the machine in the upright position. The handle needs to be pushed forward until you hear a barely audible “click”. If it doesn’t “click” then the handle just falls back and it will not stay in the upright position. It is hard to hear the “click” when the vacuum is running and getting it into position sometimes requires a good shove just so you are sure. Folks have complained about this system for a few years now and it remains the same on the Ball Animal 2.
The Ball Animal 2 is very similar to the Dyson DC65 Animal, and while the DC65 is a powerful machine in its own right, the Ball Animal 2 has even more suction - about 10% more.

Also, not surprisingly, the two machines have similar scores (average consumer ratings) on our site. The Dyson DC65 scored 95/100 while the Ball Animal 2 has come in at 94/100. These scores are so close as to be indistinguishable.
In addition, the two vacuums also look alike but they do have slightly different color schemes as you can see in the image below:
We would also like to point out that while the Ball Animal 2 is not an inexpensive machine, it is actually lower priced than the DC65 was when it launched.
Dyson Ball Animal 2 Vacuum Review: Is It Worth The Money?
We got an upgrade to the tool set so in addition to the Tangle-Free-Turbine Tool, Combo Tool, and Stair Tool, we also received the following 3 tools in the box:
In the video following we show you the 6 tools: (these are high-resolution videos so if you want a better look at things you may want to maximize them)
With the range of tools and the cleaner head the Ball Animal 2 has the ability to do floors, stairs, overhead cleaning, pet hair, and also get into all sorts of nooks and crannies.
Should You Invest In The Dyson Ball Animal 2 Vacuum?
We found the tools easy to attach and detach from the vacuum. We like that they are not compression fit but rather click firmly into place. When they click into place they stay put and don’t fall off. In addition, they are reasonably well made. We’ve seen some atrocious tools provided with cheaper vacuums.
The combo tool is pretty standard – it is a crevice tool and a dusting brush. We use it mostly as a crevice tool and fortunately it is quite long (longer than most) which is helpful as this tool is often used to get into corners or behind things.
The tangle free turbine tool with its counter-rotating heads actually does work and it limits tangling of thread, hair, etc. We ran ours through some difficult tests with rubber bands, thick string, twine, etc. and we did manage to cause it some grief (the test was a little ambitious) but with dust, hair, thread, etc. it performed just fine. You can see a Dyson video regarding this tool here (opens in new window). In our experience if you did a lot of what they show here with shoelaces and the like, at some point you would bind this thing up but with the smaller stuff this is fairly accurate.
Dyson Big Ball Animal 2 Gives You That #dysonclean
The one tool that stood out - at least with respect to cool factor - was the groom tool. After years of telling people that a pet version of a vacuum isn’t really designed for vacuuming your dog, Dyson has created a tool which does just that. We don’t have a pet so we have to rely on the Dyson video to show us how this thing works – see the video (opens in new window, second video on page). It certainly looks cool. Will your pet like it and will you find it useful? You’ll have to tell us, but one thing we have heard from quite a few folks is that their pets are spooked from the noise of this vacuum cleaner so getting them to sit still while using the groom tool may be difficult.
The cleaner head (nozzle) on the vacuum is designed for cleaning multiple surfaces such as carpet, wooden floors, vinyl, tile, etc. The cleaner head has something called an “Active Base Plate” on the bottom. This device raises and/or lowers to help focus the majority of the suction onto the floor surface – it essentially limits loss of suction from around the cleaner head (see video below). This works quite well and it actually sucks the cleaner head down onto a smooth floor surface resulting in very strong floor cleaning power. This approach also removes the need for nozzle height controls and one can simply move from bare floors to carpet and back.
The nozzle has a wide 13.4 inch cleaning path which helps when doing large area cleaning – there are less passes needed to clean an area.
Dyson Ball Compact Animal Review: A Good Vacuum, But Not Worth The Price
Now let’s discuss the most talked about characteristic of this machine – the power! The Dyson Ball Animal 2 is touted by Dyson as the most powerful vacuum on the market today. Their marketing materials state:
From a “figures” point of view (270 Air Watts of suction) it is probably the most powerful vacuum we have tested. So how does all this power translate to cleaning ability? We have run several tests.
We tested the vacuum on low pile carpet and found that pickup was excellent. However we did notice that the Active Base Plate is so low it can sometimes push larger debris around – particularly on the back stroke. The larger debris does not get under the nozzle and sucked up. We noticed this when vacuuming some fruit loops. Most were picked up but some of the larger ones just got pushed around. Everything smaller was removed easily however. In addition, we noticed that the brushroll (at least
