Brand New UK Model Dyson Ball Animal 2 Assembly & First Look

This is a totally new Dyson upright for the UK, the Animal Ball 2 with some new features including an articulated joint on the hose, larger turbine head for cleaning under furniture, improved tools storage and other improvements over the similar Light Ball model.

Details below from Very's website:

Epicyclic Drive technology cleans deep into carpets and seals in suction on hard floors. With Articulated wand handle for effortless whole-home cleaning.

The Dyson Ball Animal 2 upright vacuum cleaner is engineered for deep cleaning and homes with pets – no other vacuum cleans better across carpets and hard floors¹.

Epicyclic Drive technology cleans deep into carpets and seals in suction on hard floors to remove dust, dander and stubborn dirt.

Radial Root Cyclone™ technology delivers powerful suction to capture even microscopic allergens in the bin, while variable suction control offers three modes to tackle different tasks.

For effortless whole-home cleaning, the Articulated wand handle pivots and rotates 360°, enabling more control when cleaning hard-to-reach places from floor to ceiling.

It comes with a variety of quick-release tools – including the Tangle-free turbine tool for removing pet hair from upholstery, and the additional Carbon fibre floor tool with a slim profile for cleaning under low furniture.

To clean big homes with fewer interruptions, it has a larger bin and longer hose and cord, while Ball™ technology steers easily around furniture and obstacles.

¹Tested in accordance to EN 60312-1:2013 Cl 5.1, 5.2, 5.3, 5.9. At bin full, no other vacuum picks up more dust in total than Dyson Light Ball™ vacuum across hard floors, carpets and crevices. Tested in MAX mode. Tested in November 16.

I enjoy how they are going back to the roots colour scheme. The old Dysons were so much fun. I liked the DC 07 TOTAL CLEAN in neon green and purple

[LAD]

I like this machine. I used my lightball on max and did 8 slow passes to remove as much dirt as I can. I will go over it one more time before the new furniture is in place

[Chris-gtye]

bought a relative one of these and they are a great machine. Cleans the carpets very well indeed. I'll be getting one soon

[lorrainesaunders]

Thankyou so much, I was about to give up, watched this and was then able to assemble. Extremely grateful. Thankyou. 😀

[Evenstar]

Thank you for this! I’ve been struggling for an age with the manual.

[tdlqpoi]

So much better explanation than the one on Dyson's site. I wish I had seen this first. It would have saved me 3 failed attempts & 6 hours of despair

[terri]

Many thanks for this demo as this is my 4th dyson never had a problem putting any together but this one the handle and hose I just couldn't get it, so thanks again.

[vactechnology]

Nice to see you getting more open to Dyson. Maybe it's just me studying engineering, but I do appreciate the design choices Dyson makes. But after having owned the V6, I cannot imagine going back to a corded model.

[cashdarealmoney]

I wish they had this exact one in the USA

[SerenaCorkcity]

Thanks for helping me assemble my dyson just bought it great video🙌🏼

[juliabaig]

Love this video as I just bought this Dyson today 8/4/2021 and couldn’t figure out how to attach the handle! Lol got it in seconds after watching this video 😉thank you

[Basin]

Just got mine today. It's a beast. Not sure how it only got a C rating for dust pick up. I used it in the strongest setting (main brush) and it clamps to the carpet. Got 3 full tanks of dust/hair etc going back over where I'd vacuumed with my old Dyson.

[desmondmulcahy]

Really helpful. I struggled with the 2nd step, attaching the handle, until I saw the video.

[svetlanametodieva]

Thanks a lot for video I was confused for assemble spend 15 minutes but after watch your video its took only 1 minutes to set up my hoover Thanks a lot

[ellie.l]

Thanks very much for this. You saved me lots of time on assembly for which I'm the least patient person ever ⚘

[LlyleHunter]

Nice review Roger. I like the colors on this machine.

[madabouthoovers]

I like the fact they put a metal wand back on this machine, like they had to with the small ball, to stop the flexing and twisting of the spine of the machine when in use as an upright. This is something I never liked about the DC40 and DC41, and the DC50 was about the worst for its flexing of the plastic of the spine, due to the pole being made of plastic instead of metal. Its great that the Dc50 went back to metal wands with its successor, the Small Ball, and now the DC41's replacement, the Ball Animal 2 has a metal wand. A niggle I found with the Light Ball regarding the storage of the upholstery tool just sitting on top of the crevice has also been addressed on this model too. If I remember back to my DC15 Ball - the very first one, the exhaust on that one came out on top of the motor housing, under the bin - it didnt blow sideways across the floor. What seems very odd though is that although Dyson are including the epicyclic drive floorhead with the large debris gates on the UK uprights like the Light Ball and now this model, The Ball Animal 2, they did not include it on the new V10 in the UK - but they did for the US version of the V10 - how odd is that?

[MatthewRichardson]

I kinda wish I knew about this model. I bought the total clean and this model has several noticeable improvements.

[hoovermaster]

Fantastic video as always. Really quite interested in a light ball but my felix isn’t even two years old yet. The wand set up is an improvement and I like the low reach head, almost reminds me of the DC07 low reach which cake with a low reach head.

[EchoRomeIndiaCharlie]

Nice clear straight to the point informative video. Thanks.
