I hate this vacuum so much I actually get anxiety when I need to use it. It suctions itself so tightly to the carpet and the “self-adjusting” head does not allow you to change the level, so the result is an extreme cardio workout with every use. Don’t get me wrong, I love a good workout. It’s just that I generally like to sweat on my own terms, not my vacuum’s. I did read some reviews beforehand that said some people had a similar problem, but I figured they must have longer carpet or be super wimpy whiners. Who has a hard time pushing a vacuum, for heavens sake?! Now I’d like to find these people and offer a sincere apology for my premature judging of them. Our carpet is totally normal carpet, nothing shag or super plush and I have super strong muscles. I fancy myself a pretty fit person, or at least I DID until this vacuum put me in my place. The sad thing is that we bought it to replace our old Dyson Animal Ball that has served our family well for 8 years, so we were really confident with this purchase and threw the box away. ..so now we are stuck with it. So if you are stuck with it, like us, I have some tips for you..1. WARM UP..you’re a lot less likely to tear your rotator cuff if you get those muscles loose.2. DO NOT expect your children to be able to vacuum from now on. I know, I know, it’s one of the main reasons we had them, right?! But their tiny child arms and shoulders won’t be able to handle this workout. I’ve had to increase my expectations from them on other chores to balance out their inability to help out with this one.3. DO NOT stop mid-vacuum swipe! Trust me, you’ll need the momentum to finish those beautiful carpet lines. If you do happen to stop, due to extreme fatigue or muscle cramping, I’ve found that turning the vacuum off and then restarting it while you are in motion helps.4. DO NOT be ashamed of noises that come out of your body during your routine. Grunting, flatulence, sobbing.. It’s all a part of your vacuuming routine now. No shame, just acceptance.5. DO NOT shower or get dressed in regular clothes before your vacuum-cardio workout. It’s pointless, you will work up a sweat and stink the rest of the day, or ruin your cute outfit with unsightly pit stains. I’ve even given up brushing my hair pre-vacuum now. (see video)6. DO complain loudly every time you need to vacuum. This increases the sympathy you might get from your spouse/significant other and improves your chances of a post vacuum massage.7. DO NOT forget your cool down and stretching routine. You’ve gotta get that lactic acid out of your muscles unless you want to be really sore afterward.8. DO look for others that share in your vacuuming anxiety and stress. Studies show that support groups can be really helpful in these kind of circumstances.I hope these tips come in handy, but if you are smart, you’ll just steer clear of this one!
Aims –
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.

Lots of people have left bad reviews for this vacuum but I haven’t had any problems, works great to pick up lots of dog hair, doesn’t get clogged, isn’t hard to push (almost feels self propelled), only downside is it’s a little heavy, but nothing outrageous.

Succion excellente, les brosses travaillent bien, solide, bien construit, cependant un peu trop lourd.
