The hose on the Dyson is long and flexible – can reach from ceiling to behind furniture and in between. After usage, the bin can be emptied in one-click, just push the button to release the dirt.
Despite its great feature, Dyson Ball Multi Floor is expensive and can be too heavy for some people especially in case of moving the device from downstairs to upstairs or vice versa. There are no rubber bumpers to absorb any impact should you accidentally hit it up against something. The other downside is when you turn off the roller to vacuum a rug, the suction is so powerful that it’s difficult to push on thin area rugs and long pile rugs, sometimes it’s tricky to make it stands upright and move across the surface but it works well on non-carpeted flooring. All in all, it’s a very great quality with durable construction but the high price isn’t very affordable. Considering there are other brands with much cheaper price and still provide awesome features, Dyson Ball Multi Floor may suit people with big budget but not those in college or live in small household.
