Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Dyson DC25 Ball All-Floors Upright Vacuum CleanerCustomer Review: Stop R&Ding (Research & Delaying) just buy it! Summary: 5 StarsWas always interested in the Dysons. Really neat design especially for a vacuum cleaner. What can I say, I'm a sucker for "cool". Anyway, I'm the guy who usually get's stuck with vacuuming and I was tired of our Hoover. Big, heavy, not maneuverable and it didn't "suck". So, I started researching. Lots of choices but fell for the Dyson DC25. I actually read ALL the reviews, yeah really. For those of you who don't read them all let me quote an early review of the DC15 (predecessor of the DC25 I believe) that had me rolling on the floor:
"5.0 out of 5 stars This is a Man's Vacuum!, June 13, 2007
By The One-Man Swarm (Aurora, IL) - See all my reviews
When the wife and I divided household chores, I drew vacuuming. "No problem," I thought. "I'll just go out and get the baddest vacuum out there." That vacuum, friends, is the Dyson DC15. This is the vacuum that Tim and Al would have built on Tool Time. The vacuum that the Spartans would have taken into the Battle of Thermopylae. The vacuum the NFL uses to suck body parts out of field turf. This is a man's vacuum."
That did it for me. Discussed this with my wife who was a bit concerned about the price but she said ok. This is one slick vacuum. First, I noticed in some of the reviews that there was some actual complaining about the packaging and the being able to get the unit out of the box due to the styrofoam. No problems, they must have changed that as mine was in 3 pieces that were packed in cardboard packaging (off to the recycling thank you). I put the unit together in minutes....snap snap. Now sweat de da. Then it was off to testing. The unit is quiet or at least quieter than the Hoover (also a tornado style unit) and it is much better at maneuvering with the "ball". Really nice. The hose/wand in the handle is neat. The larger canister is nice, especially in that you hit a button and it pops out. Take it to the trash can and hit another button and bottom opens and the "yuckie stuff falls out". No touchie the yuckie stuff. Cool.
One of the recurring items in the customer reviews was that "their houses actually smelled better" after using the Dyson. Well, can't confirm that yet as we haven't been using it that much. Think that this may be due to the 2 hepa filters in the unit. (they have to cleaned....rinsed out ... every 3 months). As some of you have commented....Dyson seems to be the Apple of the vacuum world. I agree, the unit actually looks nice....neat...cool. Did I mention a 5 yr guarantee???? I agree with only two complaints of owners. First, the unit will always start up in the brush mode. You have to hit a button to stop the beater. Wish that you could "tell" it what you wanted b4 startup but a minor point. Second, when using the hose/wand the hose is a bit stiff. It tends to pull the unit along with it. Well, I don't use the hose that much so I can live with it. Maybe it will loosen up a bit later. For those out there with critters. We have 2 dogs and one cat. The Dyson does great with critter hair. I believe that Dyson does have a model that is marketed at people with critters. Don't know how it could be any better than the DC25. Does anyone else shudder when you empty the canister? I mean is this stuff REALLY in the rugs???? BTW, we have wood floors with carpets, it does great on both. Did I mention that this thing "sucks"....in a good way. Amazon had the best price I could find but other have purchased with coupons at Bed & Bath for even lower but I decided to go with Amazon. If you are even thinking of a new vacuum I'd recommend the DC 25. Cheers
