Dyson Ball Animal 2 review: Bagless suction for every corner of the home

The Dyson Ball Animal 2 provides top-flight cleaning power but it's a hefty beast and not our favourite Dyson by any means

Impressive suction power ; Tackles every corner of the home ; Decent size bin ; Easy to empty

Very heavy ; Overly complicated ; Too many attachments

Not as good as dc04

Heavy cumbersome vacuum-sorry I bought it. Very fiddly to change between utensils, no short handheld brush adapter for tight areas, very plasticy and feels like it is going to break any minute. It does pick up dirt, and if you are just plain hoovering...
