Our Verdict
Miele Dynamic U1 PowerLine
Dyson Ball Animal 2 Total Clean/Origin
The Dyson Ball Animal 2 Total Clean/Origin and Miele Dynamic U1 PowerLine are very similarly performing upright vacuums. The Dyson employs a bagless design with a HEPA filter, so it has virtually no recurring costs and can filter out allergens more effectively. It's also lighter and consequently easier to carry around and maneuver in tight spots. The Miele is much better built, is easier to maintain, and has a much larger dirt compartment.
