Keeping a clean home used to seem impossible. I have 2 children and 2 dogs. You add in a husband and oh holy night, the house is a mess. While I could hide things in the closet or just overlook them, that doesn't get rid of the nice balls of white in the corners. That's the good thing about having your main room as tile. Not as much vacuuming but boy oh boy do you know when its been more than a day since you've swept! Little puppy friends are forming in the corners of your house from the dander that has left your beloved pets! Well, at least that is what happens in my home.
The Dyson Ball Animal is the perfect vacuum for my little family. I asked the husband to put it together for me, but as I sat next to him making sure he didn't hurt our newest baby watching, I knew I could have easily put it all together. There are a few attachments involved but what vacuum doesn't have parts these days? The best feature? The ability to go on carpet or tile/wood floors without the push of a button!
Not only is the Dyson Ball Animal perfect for my family, its great for a home like mine as well. We have carpet in each bedroom only. My poor, big white dog Danny.. He wasn't meant to live in Florida. This poor pup has lost his coat about once ever 2 months since moving to this sunny paradise. While I love it, I suppose cleaning up his hair is a side effect to the whole thing. I'll take it, especially now that I can use the Dyson Ball Animal in the fight against dog hair!
Both of my dogs are fairly large and never took to dog beds. They sleep wherever I am, it seems. My side of the bed always has a lot more hair to clean up than my husband's. Upon the first time using the new Dyson Ball Animal, I used our other vacuum the day before. I thought it was doing a pretty good job until I picked up this much hair just 18 hours later!
All of that dander picked up in just that small space you see there. Up and down the strip of carpet twice and there you have it. It's almost like the other vacuum wasn't picking up anything. The suction in the Dyson Ball Animal is simply amazing.
Now that we've established that my dog has hair and sheds like crazy around here, let me show you how well this vacuum works. Cooper got a new car mat for Christmas. This is the type of mat that you can lay on the floor and drive his little cars on. Danny also thinks this mat is for him. I've had to offer treats to get Danny off this thing! Unfortunately, Danny leaves a trace when he is there for more than .5 seconds. Well, just look for yourself!
Clearly you can see in the picture on the left, Danny has been making himself at home on the car mat. This is over a 3 day period of taking it out of the box and him laying on it. I had no idea the amount of hair that dog releases throughout our home until I started to pay attention with the use of the Dyson Ball Animal. It did such a great job cleaning up the hair, right off the mat!
As you can see, Danny has not won the fight against the Dyson Ball Animal. Teaming up with Lilly, they still cannot defeat the greatness of the Dyson. Maybe they'll come back to win another day, in another way.
The Dyson Ball Animal works as a regular vacuum, on carpet and off. This model's suction picks up dirt and microscopic dust. It self adjusts to the distance between the brush and the floor, may it be carpet, tile or wood. It comes with accessories for getting in there and getting the job done! The filters are removable and able to be cleaned. Don't forget to do that every 3 months! Dyson cyclones capture more dirt and microscopic dust than any other cyclone. Dyson upright vacuums have whole-machine HEPA filtration, capturing over 99% of pollen, mold, and bacteria – keeping them trapped in the bin.
You can purchase the new Dyson Ball Animal at your local Best Buy as well as many other establishments. If you have a pet like Danny, you need this vacuum. If you are a human that loses hair, you need this vacuum. Trust me on that.
