Dyson Ball Multi Floor 2 Review

Though it seems big and heavy, it’s slimmer and lighter than most uprights. It measures 15.59×13.39×41.93 inches in total while weighing approximately 15.6 pounds.

It’s not as compact as Dyson stick vacuums, but its larger body makes up for larger capacity of the dust bin. Also, its low-profile allows you to clean under your furniture and around other obstacles. In addition, it features a stair tool for easy stair cleaning.

Storing it might be tricky due to its size, but the vac stands on its own and doesn’t require any special storage space, so that’s a plus.

All Dyson models, unless specified otherwise, come with a 5-year limited warranty that covers parts and labor.

This means the manufacturer covers defects in materials and workmanship. It doesn’t cover normal wear and tear or any damage caused by misuse. Repairs and alterations carried out by an unauthorized person are also excluded.

One of the best ways to ensure easy maintenance of different flooring surfaces is to find a vac that does a good job on all surfaces and can clean different types of dirt. Due to its powerful suction, this Dyson model is great for bare floors, hardwood, and low-pile carpets.

If you have plenty of different carpets, the first thing you want to do is think about how thick they are. Low-pile carpets are generally easier to clean, but even that depends on the suction power of the vac.

Dyson MultiFloor 2 is ideal for low-pile rugs, but won’t impress you as much if you have plush carpets. The suction is too strong for such surfaces, and also, its beater bar might get stuck onto the fibers.

Hardwood is easier to maintain as long as you make sure not to damage it. Its cleaner head is gentle enough to clean the surface without actually scratching or damaging it in any way.

On top of that, you can also use the other tools without worrying you could damage different floor types. However, keep in mind that motorized tools might be too rough for hardwood, so make sure to shut them off.

Because it’s slightly heavier than upright vacuums, Dyson had to come up with a solution. As a result, the manufacturer included the Dyson Ball located at the base of the vac, right above the cleaner head.

This isn’t the only model with the ball as it’s a popular design that Dyson uses with its uprights. It’s a unique invention that allows easier maneuverability, tighter turns, and overall easier use.

Maintaining the MultiFloor 2 is quite simple since it’s unlikely it will ever get clogged with simple household use.

The only regular maintenance it requires is washing the filters and dust bin. This isn’t something you’ll have to do as frequently, but only every six months or so.

However, if you’re allergy-prone, you might want to get someone else to do it because some of the dust might fly back into your breathing space.

Since there’s no such thing as a quiet vac, you should expect some noise from this upright vacuum. However, it’s nothing too loud, and it’s unlikely your household or neighbors will be disturbed by the sound.

If any weird noise occurs, check the filters since unusually loud sound tends to indicate it’s time to wash them.

This is a corded unit that comes with 31 feet of cable. Such long cable provides some 40ft of reach when combined with the extension hose/wand.

It features cord retract function, allowing you to store the cable within the unit. This makes it easier to store the vac as a whole.

Dyson MultiFloor 2 has a large, see-through dust bin with about 1.6l of capacity. The vac doesn’t have an indicator to show the canister is full, but since it’s transparent, you can see when it’s time to empty it.

The canister is designed to be emptied with a single click. The click opens the hatch allowing the dust and debris to fall directly into your trash can.

This upright vacuum comes with washable filters and Radial Cyclone technology for filtering the debris and dust. It filters particles as small as .003 microns, which is excellent for allergy-prone people.

Washable filters are easy to maintain and are more cost-effective than any other type since you can use them forever.

You’ll love the MultiFloor 2 if you have pets, especially due to persistent pet hair. Its strong suction picks up everything from pet hair, kibble, kitty litter, dirt coming from muddy paws, and whatever other mess your pet might make.

Kitty litter includes both small and large pieces, and this Dyson vac can pick them all up. Its powerful suction can lift and suck in these pieces regardless of the surface they’re on. As we mentioned, it performs better on bare floors than high-pile rugs, so think about where you’ll keep the litter.

Pet hair doesn’t stand a chance against the suction of this upright vacuum, regardless of the surface. It picks up even the most persistent hair off of your carpets and furniture.

However, longer pet hair might get stuck in the dirt bin. To avoid this, make sure to empty the container after each cleaning sessions; even if it’s not full. Another option is to look for a top rated vacuum for long pet hair.

The additional information you might want to know is regarding its filtration. Its whole-machine HEPA filtration is certified as Asthma and Allergy Friendly, which is always worth considering if you or someone in your family is prone to allergies.
