So, I have a Ball Animal 3, currently the only upright Dyson still sells, was kind of quietly released a few years ago.
It has in my opinion their best ever carpet/hard floor cleaner head, but the bin/cyclone/pre motor filter is the same exact design from the DC40 all the way back from 2011.
When you pull the tall washable premotor filter out from the top of the bin, there's always dust on the inner walls and on the top of the bin cap. It doesn't seem to do a good job of actually capturing the dust as the filter sits too loose in the bin imo. My post motor filter is spotless so it must be doing SOMETHING but I feel like you never had that much dust leakage on the pre ball uprights. Every time I'm done vacuuming I take out the pre-motor filter and dust inside the walls with a Swifter duster. Just seems silly.
