Customers are mixed about the quality of the vacuum cleaner. Some mention that it does a pretty decent job, works flawlessly as a powerful and reliable vacuum, and the tools work well.

"...Moving this up and down the stairs is nice and easy, and vacuuming the stairs is also...." Read more

"...because the instructions are not very informative and are difficult to figure out. But once you figure it out, this vacuum is great." Read more

"...I love that this baby comes almost completely apart with snaps and no tools!..." Read more

"...So either there’s a bit of a design flaw or the assembly instructions weren’t clear to me, but I am amazed if the tool holder is really limited to..." Read more

218 customers mention56 positive162 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the sturdiness of the vacuum cleaner. For example, they mention that the plastic feels like it's about to break every time they move, it'd break after using it three times, and it'll be too strong or too weak. The cord storage latch is flimsy and cheap, and the hose is going to crack or wear very quickly.

"...not rated but I do agree it feels cheap)•Head slipping off? Knock on wood this hasn’t occurred. (5 star so far)..." Read more

"...It is too weak and is inconsistent in latching. Please update this design, Dyson. Either make a release button, or improve the existing latch." Read more

"...All the material is put together well and it certainly gives you the impression that you got good material for the money. (the Shark, not so much)...." Read more

"...Similarly some of the vacuum does seem kind of cheaply made, but again, it might be sufficiently engineered for years of service, which I..." Read more

No, That Shark ISN'T better than this Dyson.
5 Stars
No, That Shark ISN'T better than this Dyson.
After reading so many websites and customer reviews, I decided to order BOTH the Shark TruePet rotator and the Dyson Animal ball 2. I can tell you right now, in TLDR fashion that this thing is much better than anything Shark can provide. However, after being so discouraged by all the so called "influester reviewers" and random little 4 star no comment reviews, I needed to try them both for myself to see what truly is better. I've done many days of vacuuming with dyson first, and then following with the Shark and then vice versa. I can tell you without question, this test is stupid. Under each trial, the second vacuum still picked up more debris than the first one. I even did one day where i did Dyson/Shark/Dyson and the 2nd time I used the dyson, after the Shark, the vacuum still produced dirt in the bin. So just in case you watch those dumb unscientific YouTube videos, rest assured that the test is pointless.This vacuum has a 270aW motor, which is exactly the same power as the Shark Rotator True Pet. Any kind of comparisons you can find right now compare Sharks' best, to Dyson's later models. The Dyson Cinetic is one that Shark at times compares itself to, is a 180aW motor (90aW weaker if you're not paying attention).The Dyson was purchased from Dyson's website for a few reasons:1.) If you own already own a Dyson, they will give you a 20% discount if you register your vacuum on their website2.) Full refund and free return shipping if you don't like it3.) Free tools - I got 3 free tools (which was advertised on their website) however in addition to those I got a 4th free tool, a free carrying case for all the tools, and $100 off thanks to being a Dyson customer.Arriving in the mail, the vacuum comes in a very easy to assemble state. All the material is put together well and it certainly gives you the impression that you got good material for the money. (the Shark, not so much). Even the little details like the wall adapter plug is nice and premium, especially when you compare it to the Shark. Its not a big thing, but it definitely shows that you paid for the more premium price.Vacuuming the floors in my house has been great. While I think the Shark actually did a TINY bit better picking up small dust in the carpet, the Dyson absolutely strikes back with the hard flooring. You can literally FEEL the Dyson suck down to the floor when you try to break apart the seal. The Shark in comparison was no where near this powerful on the hardwood, and even required a second pass in some areas to get everything up. The Dyson comes with an automatically adjusting head, that will move up and down so you have no switches or buttons like the Shark. The shark you need to change it from rug, to carpet, to hard flooring. The Dyson will self adjust for all of this, all you need to do is turn off the brushes if you need do for floors. Moving this up and down the stairs is nice and easy, and vacuuming the stairs is also. I was amazed at how much more dog hair the Dyson picked up over the Shark, it was immediately noticeable the second I emptied the bin. You can vacuum the carpeted flooring with the vacuuming rotating attachment, or the vacuum itself. The extendable wand also easily surpasses the Shark in suction strength, as apparent by many trials.The included rotating attachment also performs better than the Shark variant. The shark variant is cheaper in build quality, bulkier, and not as efficient at picking up debris. The shark version has a rotating piece that works like the main vacuum bristles, where as the Dyson has two spinning heads that travel in circles, and not like the main vacuum bristles.Things I dont like:The Shark has a nicer dust collector. The trap door works better in that you press the button and everything drops out. With the Dyson, you almost have to wiggle to get it all out, and some of the dirt gets stuck on the hinge.The wand that the Dyson has is a pain in the butt to put back in. Its easy to pull it out, but the method in which you put it back involves too much time and lining up to get it to go in all the way correctly. This is sub-par even compared to my DC25 that I replace with this.The kick stand went from the foot pedal style on my old DC25 to this weird no pedal push down method. It works ok, however sometimes when I just want to move the vacuum on the little rear wheels, it will pop down as if i'm going to use it to vacuum. Again, its sub-par compared to the DC25.All in all, I believe this a top tier product. The Quality, performance, customer support and the perks like returning custom discounts is an unbeatable package. Customer support was painless and this Dyson comes with a 5 year warranty. Dyson sells premium vacuums for a premium price, but you get what you pay for. Dyson may not be as cheap as a Shark, but then again you dont see Dyson taking up Sunday afternoon infomercial slots on antenna TV.
