New in box Dyson Animal Ball Upright (not Animal Ball 2 which I didn't want) at a great price. Created by Revan. almost completely open. Was able to assemble and would have been easier if Dyson's instructions hadn't said to assemble two already assembled parts. I like the vacuum's excellent suction power, although the main brush head feels a bit odd as it has plastic holes with no cover. I also prefer tools that are kept under vacuum. The tools I had to find in the storage box are unlikely to be used which is a shame as the pet hair attachment works as promised - very well! It's easy to use and I love it, just like the DC-17. I'm not really interested in a wandless vacuum and wouldn't consider it cordless as the reviews indicate a big drop in battery performance after just 6 months. It would be more convenient with a retractable cord, but oh well. Thanks very much!
