Living with Kids & Pets? Here's Why You Need A Dyson Light Ball Vacuum (Review)

In our busy household with 2 hairy Golden Retrievers and 3 active boys, we need a tough vacuum that can withstand daily use. The amount of dog hair I vacuum up each day is insane. When Dyson contacted me about reviewing a new vacuum, the new Dyson Light Ball, I jumped at the opportunity. We have been using a Dyson vacuum in our home for just about 10 years now. I often get asked by readers what my floor cleaning routine is with big dogs and I always recommend getting a Dyson. I was excited to receive the new vacuum to compare it to our 10 year old vacuum.

The latest Dyson upright vacuum boasts powerful suction to remove both dirt and microscopic dust. In my experience, you just can't beat the suction of a Dyson and this one doesn't disappoint. My middle son has a lot of allergies and I feel good knowing my home is as clean as possible for him. Dyson vacuums have whole-machine HEPA filtration, capturing over 99% of pollen, mold and bacteria and keeping them trapped in the bin. To empty the bin, I just have to push one button and the dirt is released directly into the garbage.

This latest Dyson also self adjusts to seal in suction across carpets and hard floors. If you're house is anything like ours, there are a variety of flooring types including hardwood, carpet and tile. With this new vacuum, I so appreciate that I don't have to change any settings or mess with any awkward dials. I simply keep on vacuuming across all of the flooring surfaces and then get on with my day.

I was most excited to try out the Dyson ball. The ball technology makes it easy to steer around furniture and cabinets and it works really well. It is fantastic at picking up all of the crumbs that accumulate around our kitchen island. Our original Dyson doesn't have a ball and I have no idea how I lived without one for so long! There is also an easy to use, instant-release high-tech wand that allow for quick cleaning up high. My favorite place to use the wand is on our stairs. We have a split level home and there are lots of stairs to clean. The wand makes this task much easier.

Because of all of the stairs in our home, I also appreciate that this vacuum is light to carry around the house. Our first Dyson has withstood 10 years of use and is still going. The new Dyson has the same great suction with even more added conveniences. I definitely recommend it. The Dyson Light Ball is available exclusively at Walmart for $389, currently on rollback for $319. You can find it on Walmart.com here.

I think it is a great value for such an important tool for keeping a home clean and healthy for the whole family!
