Our Verdict

Eureka Mighty Mite

Dyson Cinetic Big Ball Animal [Animal Pro, Multi Floor]

The Eureka Mighty Mite is a better canister vacuum for bare floors than the Dyson Cinetic Big Ball Animal. The Eureka has a larger dirt compartment and is lighter, and since its wand is made of two separate parts, you can shorten the wand for more maneuverability. It also has significantly better performance on all surface types. However, the Dyson has no recurring costs. It's also easier to store, is more maneuverable, and comes with more tools and brushes.
