The Dyson Ball Animal 2 Upright Vacuum Cleaner, now £340 (was £374.99) on Amazon, is engineered to tackle pet hair and features a larger bin for more cleaning before needing to empty it
Pet owners seeking extra help in managing fur around the house can save money on a powerful Dyson vacuum cleaner specifically designed for animal-friendly households. The Dyson Ball Animal 2 Upright Vacuum Cleaner has dropped to £340 from £374.99 on Amazon and has won over busy families.
The Dyson Ball Animal is built to handle pet hair, with its cleaner head automatically detangling strands during use to stop hair wrapping around the brush bar. It also features a bin that’s 60 per cent larger than the Ball Animal 2, allowing shoppers to cover more of the house before needing to empty it. Dirt can be ejected at the touch of a button without having to reach inside.
For those tricky, hard-to-reach spots, the vacuum offers up to 50ft of total reach, combining a 35ft cord with up to 15ft of hose stretch for tackling stairs and other areas. An instant-release wand makes cleaning both high and low surfaces simpler, while the telescopic handle rotates in three directions for long-reach cleaning beneath and around furniture, as reported by Liverpool Echo.

The vacuum cleaner is engineered specifically for homes with pets and can automatically detangle hair
One customer described the Dyson vacuum cleaner as ‘absolutely amazing’. They stated: “First time I bought a Dyson product, to be honest, we have two dogs and two cats! I cleaned my bedrooms yesterday with my old vacuum (Henry), but we have very thick carpets, to be honest, and obviously, the old vacuum wasn’t powerful enough.
“Today I received this beast, and you can see in the pic the amount of dust and hair. My house is very clean (that’s what I thought), I vacuum our bedrooms every two days, but I can see the difference now between the old one and the new one! You get what you pay for! Worth every penny. Easy to use and amazing, very happy customer.”
Another commented: “This is really the best vacuum cleaner. Worth every penny!”
Another cleaner said: “It’s amazing! Best vacuum cleaner I’ve ever had. I vacuumed the lounge with my old cleaner, then went over the same area again with this Dyson, and the amount it picked up was staggering! Looking forward to doing the rest of the house.”
One customer remarked: “We’re really happy with this vacuum cleaner – it’s easy to assemble, use and maintain and most importantly brings the carpets up a treat. The animal attachment is great and picks up all the cat hairs from our sofa. The only negative we’ve found is that on our deeper pile carpets, it is quite hard to push/pull even on the lowest setting, alright if you don’t mind a bit of a workout, but someone elderly/physically frail might struggle.”
A further reviewer noted: “My wife finds it a bit hard to push. Suction is brilliant. The dust collection bin is not as big as the previous model we had for 20 years.”
