I agree. I could not follow the directions at all.

What did you get instead? I’m looking to purchase a vacuum.

It doesn’t matter which vacuum you buy, they are always going to have their Pros and Cons.

Glad I could help, and I'm glad you're enjoying your Dyson!

I appreciate that, and will keep that in mind! I did slap it together pretty quick haha.

Try "Pause."

@@VacTech1 I liked that you weren't long-winded, but you still shouldn't wear shoes indoors.

Glad I could help!

I wonder if we'll get the upgraded hose/wand on an upcoming model (I'd like to try it, it looks better). There's room for improvement on the tools, and many older Dyson upright setups were superior.

@@VacTech1 I hope so too. It is not fair that they have had those in the UK for so long and we still lack them!

It might happen! I didn't think we'd get this model.

Just wait until they start getting stripped out like the stick vacs, that's going to get old really quick.

Glad I could help! Thanks!

Thanks, Nick! Lots of stuff coming up soon. This one is a little different from the EU models. It's more powerful.

Yah I miss my slim ball’ just got the A3 its freaking huge compared to skim ball’

Please look forward to the full review. There's a lot to cover. It does clean very well.

Glad it was helpful!

Yeah buddy! Didn't think it would happen.

Glad it was helpful! Appreciate it.

Thanks! I wanted to make sure I showed that on camera. Glad it helped!

Haha thank you!

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!

I wouldn’t mind testing a new Shark to see how it performs on carpeting.

@@VacTech1 az3002 model

Also shark professional nv360 was rated a Best Buy for$150.00 - does not have same roller feature as the Dyson- but excellent on carpet hardwood and pet hair

Yeah. They didn't say they were done making uprights, just that they were done developing them.

@@VacTech1 which this is developing a new model. They said they would continue to make the same corded models, but not design any new models. So they did to against their words.

I wouldn’t call a Dyson a solid machine lol. They did it because Shark sell a load of uprights. In the UK, the top selling upright is Shark. Their cordless does very well too. A quality solid upright is SEBO.

@@blakaeg I agree that other companies like Shark are now overtaking the corded upright market. Dyson's upright designs here are largely 11 years old (aside from small updates). Maybe people bought a DC65 years ago, but once they wore it out, and they saw the new models were identical, they opted to try something different. It's silly of them abandon a market they ran, despite their convictions towards cordless machines.

@@blakaeg well, a Dyson is half the price of a sebo (sebos in my area coat $1,200!)

Glad I could help!

Glad I could help!

I understand. It’s different for sure, and imo the wand setup isn’t as good. I liked how on the DC25 you have the nice handle grip that went with it.

Sebo do feel solid, but they actually wear out quicker than you might think. My felix handle is really loose now and the button to switch off the ET1 power head jams constantly and is really difficult to press. The hose on the sebos are notoriously poor as well. When you don’t engineer tolerances in joints and moving parts, they wear out. Then you have to juggle durability with ease of use and weight. Dysons are made from mainly polycarbonate as opposed to ABS like Sebo and Miele; the former being more expensive but more durable.

When the machine is upright, the suction automatically diverts to the wand/hose. Perfectly normal.

Wow thank you so much for your help. It’s working perfectly now. 🙏🙏

I am wanting to know that info as well.

The pet groom tool is the only Dyson attachment made for specifically grooming and grabbing loose hair off of pets. The tangle-free turbine tool is great for getting pet hair off of furniture, stairs, and cleaning the car. Hope this helps!

I find I have to use the "deep pile" setting on my standard plush carpeting as well.

Thanks, glad it was helpful!

Thanks!

Yes, it will make a click and popping noise as the wheels pop back, and the changeover valve diverts the suction from the hose to the cleaner head.

Looking at them next 2 each other the head on old ones looks funny and way to big’ The new head fits the look better

With Dyson uprights, you’ll want to start at the bottom of the stairs, and work your way up. The bottom stair will hold the Dyson in place as you clean. I’ve noticed this Dyson has strong suction, and can really fight you when trying to stretch the hose, even more than the older models.

Sadly, no. Good question! In other countries they have a handle clip that stores that tool, but not on US models.

@@AnneQuint-teacher hmm you might need to call Dyson. Are you referring to the top part of the handle that just snaps in? I believe there’s a spring to lock it into place, but I’d have to check mine.

@@VacTech1yes! i’m talking about when you’re assembling it & u slide the actual handle piece on and it says it will click, but mine does not click! I found a small black plastic piece in the box & a spring, so i think it is missing from there. Heading to dyson store🥲just came in the mail yesterday

@@AnneQuint-teacher yeah sounds like those little pieces are the clip assembly that hold the handle in place. They probably just need popped back in, but there could be another issue if they’re not already installed.

I would call Dyson if you’re having issues getting the wand to nest properly inside the hose. It has to line up just so. I hope you can get it set up!

I bought it on Craigslist, and it's no longer being sold new.

You just recline the handle back, and the wheels pop up so you can push it around on the ball. When putting it back upright, you have to firmly press the handle forward (into the upright position), and the wheels will drop back down and lock into place. Hope this helps!

Strange! The wand has to be lined up correctly so it nests into and aligns with the handle. Otherwise there could be something in the hose, preventing it from nesting all the way. If you continue to have issues, I would contact Dyson, and they'll figure out a solution for you.

@@VacTech1 I am having the same issue. Very frustrating.

I would prefer if the cleaner head was wider.

It interlocks with the nozzle on the front of the ball. It needs to be slid down into place, and it will click and lock. Hope you can get it working!

@@VacTech1 I got it. Was just hard to get it lined up

Glad I could help! Thank you!

Pretty much! Main differences are that ours will have more suction (no wattage limits by law), ours is louder, and it has the newly updated tangle-free cleaner head. I hope we get the updated hose/wand too.

We also have had the tangle free head for over a year and you lot don’t have what age limits that is not fair

@@dyson1244 I thought the tangle-free head just launched in the UK on their 2022 corded models?

Well I am I’ve been a bit exaggerating but we’ve had it for 3 4 months

@@dyson1244 no you are right, it’s been out for that long. Though I think the tangle free head is a relatively new add-on. ibasiac has a great video demonstrating the UK Animal Ball 2. I’m still jealous we didn’t get the new wand and even the ball filter the UK animal ball 2 has. I swear I thought the animal ball 3 came with the new ball filter but it’s still the same one as before because the one I bought has the same old version ball filter. The reason I say this is because the animal ball 3 box (which isn’t a plain box) shows the filter from the uk version on the photos/diagrams on the box. Also it appears the animal ball 3 extra comes in both a plain and regular box as I saw a plain one in bed bath and beyond but I saw a normal one with the nice designs at Target.

It’s a $500 vacuum. Shouldn’t be crooked haha.

Got mine at Costco for $279 can't argue with that price.

@@jonathanmuniz4341 If you got the extra model for $279. That's a great deal. I returned the dyson. The $200 shark I bought is lightyears better

Why?

@@patriciapowers3666 you just push the wheels up and they move. They’re clicked into place, so they just un-click.

@@VacTech1 Thank you ! I was about to explode

Hahaha just for videos. I normally apply a “no shoes” rule at home as well.
