| My old bagless vacuum "bit the dust" so to speak, just as I'd been shopping around for another one. I'd heard a lot of great things about the Dyson vacuum cleaners and after hours of reading reviews, both good and bad, decided to purchase one. I had been very reluctant because of the price of the Dyson, but managed to find a new one at a significant discount. The assembly was an easy 1-2-3 process (literally) and I had it running in less than 5 minutes after unboxing it. It is light-weight and much quieter than I'd expected considering the power it possesses. It easily picked up loads of dirt from my smaller rugs in the foyer~~I'd read a few reviews that claimed it would "suck up" the rug, but I didn't have that problem with my rugs. Next, I tackled the hard-wood floors. With the beater-brush turned off, it cleaned everything in sight without the old problem I'd had with my former vac where it would throw the dirt and debris out the back and scatter it everywhere. It got into the corners and laid down flat enough to get under my kitchen table. I live on a farm and a lot of dirt gets dragged in daily, so it wasn't surprising that during the vacuuming of three large area rugs, I had to empty the canister three times. My old vacuum apparently wasn't doing much good! Did well on persian/oriental rugs without evident harm; just loads of dirt. I also own a parrot who makes a tremendous mess with his feathers, powder down and food. This vacuum sucked up even the smallest of downy feathers if I got to within a few inches of them on the hardwood. Next, I tried out the smaller hand attachment for use on furniture. It has its own rotating brush for picking up cat/dog hair (have two dogs and a cat as well). With other vacs, the moment you apply the attachment to the furniture, the brush bogs down. Not this one! It picked up every cat hair off a chair I'd gone over several times with an attachment on my old vac. I must say, I am certainly satisfied with every aspect of this vacuum cleaner. Finally, I'll be able to reach up and get the cobwebs off the ceiling beams that I just couldn't get to with my smaller vacuum hose. The Dyson's wand extends to places I'd not been able to reach without a 12-foot ladder in the past. Definitely worth every penny. Shop around and get one for less~~they're out there. My sister has a refurbished one and is equally happy with hers. |
Vacuum issues finally solved!

I finally broke down and bought a Dyson. I've been through countless "cheaper" vacuums and am tired of having to purchase a new one every other year. So I threw out my Eureka ( a replacement of a Hoover) and purchased the DC25 Animal. I have a checkerboard style rug in my laundry room with alternating high and low pile. Since the laundry room is off the garage, a lot of dirt and grass get deposited on that rug. My old vacuum could never get the dirt out of the low squares. The DC25 cleaned it like a pro. It performed just as well on the low squares as it did on the high ones. Afterward, I vacuumed my bedroom carpet and the Dyson picked up all of the gunk my old vacuum kept spitting out. It did an excellent job around the base boards and cleaned dirt from the edges even without the crevice tool. Love, love, love this vacuum!
I then tried it out on my hardwood floors. The beater bar button is conveniently located on the front so I didn't have to bend down to switch it off. (Okay, I'm only 5'2", but still...) Our lower floor is all hardwood but we have several rugs on the floor. I needed a vacuum that could switch between the two quickly and easily. The Dyson had it covered. Press once and the beater bar switched off, press again and it was back on. Loved it! It picked up dust and dirt as well as larger bits of dry cat food. My floors passed the bare feet test and I didn't feel any grit or residue left behind. With two kids and two cats, that's a miracle. The vacuum performed beyond my expectations.
As others have mentioned, the ball makes cornering a breeze. I could maneuver around chairs and other furniture with ease. I did have to switch outlets a couple of times, but I've never had a vacuum cord long enough to cover the whole house so I'm used to that. The dust bin emptied with a touch of a button and nothing got caught in the bin requiring manual removal.
I just purchased this vacuum today so I can't speak to its durability, but so far it has been worth every penny. |

What the… you will not belief this. My stupid cat simply farted on my knee!? I mean what is the matter with this!? I give food to that thing and I receive this in exchange. I still can not belief that. Anyways, you have quite a few important facts there in your posting. I knew Yahoo could bring me to a few helpful stuff today
. Okay must search this creature now! Have a great day you all!
I was studying something else about this on another blog. Interesting. Your perspective on it is diametrically opposed to what I read earlier. I am still pondering over the various points of view, but I’m tipped to a great extent toward yours. And irrespective, that’s what is so superb about modernized democracy and the marketplace of thoughts on-line.
