Powerful suction ; Large dust canister ; Glides well on carpet and hard floor
No LEDs on the floor cleaning head ; Heavy ; Bulky

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

I bought this to replace my old one. But what a disaster. This is heavy and bulky and is not a pleasure to use. It was a mistake to buy this.
