Our Verdict

Dyson Ball Animal 2 Total Clean/Origin

Dyson Outsize

The Dyson Ball Animal 2 Total Clean/Origin and Dyson Outsize are differently designed vacuums that suit different uses. The Ball Animal 2 is a corded upright vacuum that delivers better performance on low- and high-pile carpets. It's also easier to maintain and has a virtually unlimited runtime courtesy of its corded design, though the Outsize has a long overall battery life if you keep its second battery charged. The Outsize feels slightly better built, is easier to store, has a larger dirt compartment, and has a virtually unlimited range. However, both vacuums are hard to maneuver on high-pile carpets due to their high suction force.
