Our Verdict

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

Dyson Omni-glide

The Dyson Cinetic Big Ball Animal and the Dyson Omni-glide have different strengths, and which you may prefer depends on your needs. The Big Ball delivers decent performance on low- and high-pile carpets. It's much easier to maintain, and its dirt compartment can hold more debris. However, the Omni-glide delivers somewhat better performance on bare floors since it struggles a bit less to clear bulky debris like cereal. It's also much lighter and more portable.
