Dyson Cinetic Big Ball Multi Floor, Animal and Animal Plus Allergy Vacuums is a group of several upright vacuum cleaners, that differ mostly in available attachments and, of course, color.

Dyson Cinetic Big Ball upright vacuums are large, sturdy and robust vacuums with strong suction.

They weigh 19.2 pounds (~8.7 kg) and as such are far from being light vacuums. But, they come with Dyson's Ball Technology enabling them to easily steer around furniture and other objects and clean the floors.

Main cleaning head is self-adjusting, helping the user to traverse from bare floors to carpets and back, speeding up the cleaning process. Although main cleaning head height allows it to reach under the beds and similar objects, its reach is short due to the vacuum's Ball Technology. However, Dyson Cinetic Big Ball vacuums come with flexible cleaning hose and several cleaning attachments, greatly simplifying cleaning of the elevated and hard-to-reach areas and surfaces.

Cinetic Big Ball vacuums have excellent reach - they come with 35 feet (~10.6 m) long power cord, providing the user with 50 feet (~15.2 m) maximum reach. Such reach help the user to clean really large area using single wall socket, but also to clean stairs and other elevated surfaces using flexible cleaning hose.

These vacuums don't come with automatic power cord rewind system - power cord is wrapped around power cord hooks on the back of the units. Some users like to release the full length of the power cord right away, some don't - this is highly individual.

Dyson Cinetic Big Ball uprights come with 11 Amps motors providing very strong suction of 180 Air Watts.

One of the important features of these vacuums is their low maintenance costs. Air filtration is based on Dyson's Cyclone Filtering Technology - two rows of Dyson Cinetic tips oscillate at high frequency (up to 5 kHz), separating the dust and other debris and exhaust practically clean air. Dyson Cinetic Big Ball vacuums are true HEPA vacuums, which is very important for everyone, not just people having issues with asthma and allergies.

Dirt bin capacity is 0.57 gal (~2.15 liters) - more than enough even when cleaning heavy soiled floors. Also, dirt bin is transparent allowing the user to check type and amount of vacuumed dirt. Units are design not to lose suction as the dirt bin is filled. When the dirt reaches 'Max Fill Line', the dirt bin must be emptied, which can be done quickly and easily.

Note: These vacuums are not designed for wet or moist dirt.

Which model to choose? Dyson Cinetic Big Ball vacuums are excellent vacuums and they come with many great features. Thus, they are not cheap, but nonetheless, their features more than justify their price.

In many situations cleaning tools that come with Animal model are more than enough for keeping home clean. And if other cleaning attachments are required, they can be ordered later.

When buying cleaning attachments separately, keep in mind that they cost more than when they are bought with as part of the vacuum cleaner bundle. So, if you have various surfaces and various dirt to clean, consider Animal+Allergy model, especially if you have somebody with respiratory or similar health issues.

People having the need to clean almost exclusively floors, should aim for Multi Floor model.
