Dyson Ball Allergy

That's what I was left wondering after testing out the Dyson Ball Allergy, which at the time was called the Dyson DC65, and was the newest in Dyson's long line of high-end upright vacuums. Like the models that came before it, the Ball Allergy trumpets...

The Dyson Ball Allergy (formerly known as the DC65 Animal) vacuums even better on carpets than the DC41 that came before it, with improved airflow and a more powerful brushroll.

Annoying design issues that plagued the usability of the DC41 linger through to the Ball Allergy. Most notably, the vacuum clicks into its upright position, but it doesn't always stick and can come crashing to the floor.

The DC41's design disappointed us, and the Ball Allergy's isn't any better. Despite the strong performance scores, this pricey Dyson is still difficult to recommend.

Dyson DC65 Animal Upright Vacuum review

On the Dyson website , chief engineer James Dyson is quoted as saying, "Our mission is simple. We solve the problems others seem to ignore." But what about the problems Dyson ignores?

The Dyson DC65 Animal vacuums even better on carpets than the DC41 that came before it, with improved airflow and a more powerful brushroll.

Annoying design issues that plagued the usability of the DC41 linger through to the DC65. Most notably, the vacuum clicks into its upright position, but doesn't always stick, and can crash down to the floor.

The DC41's design disappointed us, and the DC65's isn't any better. Despite the strong performance scores, this pricey Dyson is still difficult to recommend.

Dyson DC65 Animal vacuum cleaner review

It is incredible the amount of dust our home accumulates. We have been using a Dyson vacuum cleaner for years but have never really tried an upright model. Recently Dyson sent me the new DC65 Animal upright vacuum cleaner. The box itself is small-ish...

Overall I really liked the new model. Never thought it would be so much different from the other designs.
