If your home has pets, you will know that keeping on top of fur can feel like a full-time job.

One minute the floor is clean, the next, there is a fresh layer of hair decorating the carpet, rug and sofa.

That is where the Dyson Ball Animal Origin Vacuum Cleaner comes in. The Dyson model has landed on Amazon Australia as a limited-time deal for $316, down from $599, representing a 47 per cent saving.

For anyone who has been waiting for a better excuse to upgrade their vacuum, a saving of $283 is certainly one way to make the decision easier.

The Ball Animal Origin is designed specifically with homes with pets in mind, combining Dyson’s Radial Cyclone technology with a brush head featuring stiff, dense nylon bristles designed to agitate and remove stubborn dirt and pet hair from carpets and rugs.

Dyson says its Radial Cyclone technology delivers powerful suction, while the vacuum is designed to pick up across different floor types.

One Amazon Australia shopper summed up their experience rather succinctly, calling it the “best” vacuum they had used for pet fur and praising its strong suction.

Another reviewer said it had “good suction and cleaning ability”, although noted that the vacuum is a little heavy.

That is worth keeping in mind if you prefer the lightweight convenience of a cordless stick vacuum.

The trade-off is a more traditional corded design, but that also gives you plenty of reach. The vacuum stretches up to 50 feet in total, with a 35-foot power cord and 15-foot hose.

That extra reach is especially useful for stairs, where the long-reach hose is designed to make cleaning from top to bottom easier.

The Ball technology is another part of the design that Dyson fans may appreciate. Rather than wrestling a bulky machine around corners, the vacuum rides on a ball and is designed to steer around furniture with a turn of the wrist.

Then there is the practical stuff. The large bin means you can clean for longer before emptying it, while dirt is hygienically ejected at the press of a button. In other words, you do not need to reach inside the bin to pull out the accumulated fluff and dust.

The vacuum also has an instant-release wand and long-reach hose for cleaning higher surfaces and awkward spots, along with three cleaning modes so you can adjust the suction depending on the job.

For smaller spaces and tricky areas, the included combination tool and stair tool add another layer of versatility.

Dyson also says its whole-machine filtration captures 99.97 per cent of particles down to 0.2 microns. The brand’s stated filtration figure is worth noting for shoppers who are looking beyond simply getting visible dirt and pet hair off their floors.

A third shopper praised the machine for being easy to assemble and use, adding that it quickly picked up pet hair and that the collection bin was easy to empty.

At $316, the Dyson Ball Animal Origin is currently sitting well below its $599 original price on Amazon Australia.

Whether you have a shedding dog, a fluffy cat or simply want a vacuum with plenty of reach and a strong focus on carpet cleaning, this is one of those deals worth checking before the limited-time price disappears.
