Incredibly powerful!
We have a Dyson Stick Vacuum and decided we wanted to upgrade our old Ball vacuum also. Best decision as this vacuum pulled so much dirt from our carpets and lounge and our hard floors were left spotless. The attachments are perfect for all the tricky spots! The house felt cleaner immediately!

Awesome Ball
I purchased this product following extensive research on the web, I have not been disappointed, the machine is light in weight, very easy to maneuver and the suction is amazing. I have a very tidy house, but the dust it collected on the first vacuum was incredible. The bagless feature is a bonus, a little tricky to open to empty, otherwise I would definitely recommend this product. I'm very happy with my purchase.

Great vacuum Dyson big ball bagless
Works so good I vacuumed with my old vacuum and then run the Dyson over the same carpet and I was shocked at how much more came out of the carpet. Only thing is the clip that holds the lid being a small piece of plastic may not hold up

Great vacuum cleaner
This is the third Dyson vacuum we have owned and used. Previous models were effective and powerful, no complaints, hence brand-loyal when updating/upgrading the appliance. But the current purchase, the Dyson Big Ball Absolute Barrel vacuum, is genuinely 'next level'. Dyson remains one of the best-rated vacuums in terms of performance, quality and innovative features, but the Big Ball Absolute surpassed my expectations. Superior, strong and constant suction over previous models. Was able to lift a small plastic door-stopper, able to suck dust from small nooks and crannies (even without the nozzle attachment). So powerful, that it actually ripped off a tassel from my floor rug! Ergonomic design: longer telescopic wand that easily reaches hard-to-get-to areas such as ceiling exhaust fans, cobwebs and on top of pantry cupboards, fridge, etc., but doesn't feel like exerting energy or labour-intensive since we can remain in a standing position while efficiently targeting areas that are normally harder to reach. Multiple attachments included, making cleaning a breeze, especially the carbon fibre, soft dusting brush which worked a treat on my venetian blinds and plantation shutters. Effectively lifted off fine settled-on dust without damaging the fragile and delicate blinds. Turbine cleaner head automatically senses the change in floor surfaces, so time and effort is saved in not having to physically swap settings between hard surfaces/carpets. Seems like a smaller head compared to earlier models, but is just as effective, if not better, since it is able to get into narrow and challenging spots. Head rotates comfortably and with ease. Bigger barrel is very helpful in not having to empty the bin so often. Only two, swift button release actions are required to empty the bin, making it hygienic and quite convenient. Self-correcting: is able to correct itself back onto an upright position if it gets accidentally knocked over. Big improvement over previous models as it does not require the filter to be replaced; only needs to be washed regularly. Powerful machine, leaves rooms feeling clean and fresh, not labour-intensive due to ergonomic, clever design, easy-to-use attachments. Cons: Slightly heavier than previous models. Noisier than those models (wish it were not so).

At a glance
The Dyson Big Ball Absolute is a premium bagless barrel vacuum built for homes with mixed flooring that want strong suction, easy steering and cleaner bin emptying. It suits households needing versatile tools for floors, stairs and awkward spots. Key strengths are its self-righting design, large bin and long articulated wand. One limitation is that it is a full-size barrel vacuum, so it is less compact than lighter stick models.
What it’s great for
- Whole-home cleaning
- Mixed floor cleaning
- Stairs and upholstery
- Hard-to-reach areas
- Bagless vacuuming
Where it works best
- Family homes
- Multi-room homes
- Homes with carpet and hard floors
- Apartments with stairs
- General indoor cleaning
Who it’s for
- Families
- Mixed-floor households
- Allergy-conscious cleaners
- Homeowners
- Renters wanting a premium barrel vacuum
Things to consider
It offers strong all-round cleaning and tools, but if you want the lightest grab-and-go option for quick daily cleans, a stick vacuum may feel more convenient.
Pet hair performance score
8/10 - tangle-free turbine tool and stair/upholstery-focused accessories make it well suited to lifting pet hair from carpets and furniture.
Large home suitability
Good for medium to large homes thanks to its large bin, all-floor capability and long-reach wand.
Carpet vs hard floor fit
Strong all-rounder for both carpet and hard floors, with tools included to better target delicate hard surfaces and deeper carpet cleaning.
Noise level rating
6/10 - typical for a full-size high-suction barrel vacuum, but not positioned as a low-noise model.
Portability rating
7/10 - ball steering and self-righting help movement, though it is still a full-size barrel vacuum rather than a lightweight stick design.
Key benefits
- Self-righting design: Picks itself up if toppled, so you can keep cleaning without stopping to reset the vacuum.
- 2 Tier Radial cyclones: Delivers strong suction for thorough cleaning across carpet and hard floors.
- Hygienic bin emptying: Lets you eject dust and debris with a button press, reducing contact with dirt.
- Large capacity bin: Holds more dirt before emptying, so you can clean for longer with fewer interruptions.
- Long-reach wand: Extends up to 125 cm to help clean ceilings, corners and awkward spaces more easily.
- 360° articulating handle: Rotates in three directions for better control when cleaning around furniture and obstacles.
- All-floor suitability: Engineered to clean across different floor types without needing a separate vacuum for each surface.
- Included specialty tools: Comes with accessories for stairs, upholstery, hard floors and dusting to handle more cleaning tasks around the home.
Q: Is the Dyson Big Ball Absolute 447178-01 suitable for both carpet and hard floors in the same home?
A: Yes. It is designed for all floor types, and the included cleaner head plus tools such as the articulating hard floor tool make it better suited to mixed homes than a single-surface vacuum. That helps when moving from rugs to tiles or timber.
Q: How well does the Dyson Big Ball Absolute handle pet hair, stairs and upholstery?
A: It is equipped well for those jobs. The tangle-free turbine tool is made to remove hair from carpets and upholstery without a brush bar for hair to wrap around, and the stair tool helps clean steps, bedding and tight corners more effectively.
Q: What makes the Dyson Big Ball Absolute easier to manoeuvre than a typical barrel vacuum?
A: Its Ball technology helps it steer around obstacles, and the wand handle rotates in three directions for full 360 degree articulation. If the barrel gets knocked over, it self-rights, so cleaning is less interrupted than with many traditional canisters.
Q: How far can the wand reach on the Dyson Big Ball Absolute for high or awkward areas?
A: The wand extends to 1250 mm, which is useful for areas like ceiling corners, behind furniture and high shelves. The rotating handle gives extra control in tighter spaces, so it is better suited to awkward angles than a fixed straight wand.
Q: Does the Dyson Big Ball Absolute use vacuum bags, and how is the bin emptied?
A: No. This is a bagless barrel vacuum, so there are no disposable bags to keep replacing. The bin uses a hygienic dirt ejection system that pushes out trapped dust and debris with a button press, which reduces direct contact when emptying.
Q: Is the Dyson Big Ball Absolute a good option for longer whole-home cleaning sessions?
A: Yes. Its large-capacity bin means fewer stops to empty during a full-house clean, and the barrel design with multiple tools is better suited to extended sessions than compact vacuums that need more frequent bin checks or tool changes.
