"Extremely functional and easy-to-use"2009-08-12
By Seattleite (Seattle, WA, USA)
This is by far the best vacuum I have ever used. I am even comparing it to a $2000 vacuum my mother once owned. The DC25 is amazingly maneuverable and is very lightweight. We are currently renting a small 1-bedroom apartment and this vacuum has been wonderful. I can actually get around all of the tight spaces and its thin design also allows access under parts of the couch and other furniture. The vacuum is also very easy to use, with limited knobs/buttons that are located in easily viewable locations...how many times have you used a new vacuum and couldn't even find the power switch? The extra tools are also easy to detach and use. I love that the handle turns into an extendable cleaning wand. The filter is also easily removable and after removal from the main unit (by a simple push button), another button pops up on the filter holder to drop open its bottom so you can easily empty with no mess. Many of the other bagless units I've used required manual removal of the lids, etc. before you could empty them and you just end up with dirty hands. Besides the vacuum's ease of use, its cyclone technology is unbelievable. It works much better than other vacuums. On its first use, it picked up so much junk from our carpet that I had to empty the filter holder three times! I also have a friend who owns one of these and they experienced the same thing even after having their carpets professionally steam cleaned. Overall, I couldn't have been happier when I threw my old vacuum away for this one. I would definitely recommend it to anyone, it's worth the money!
"Dyson beats Kirby"2009-08-10
By S. Harrison (Plano, TX)
The Dyson DC25 that I purchased yesterday is a clear improvement over the 16-year-old Kirby that it replaces. It picked up an amazing amount of dirt and fuzz; maybe the carpets will be beige again instead of grayish!
I bought the ball version specifically because I'd had it with my clunky old Kirby's lack of maneuverability. The ball plus the narrower front end definitely make the Dyson easier to direct into tight places and between chair legs. The Dyson does feel heavier in use, although I'm sure it weighs less, because the Kirby provided a drive assist and was largely self-propelled. For that reason I won't suggest the my 70-something mother get one, as the Dyson does require a bit of strength, but for me the trade-off in its tighter turns is worth a little effort on my part. The Dyson fits further under low furniture and even uses its "kick stand" wheels to advantage if you lay it down to roll under an end table.
The Dyson's suction impresses not only for the dirt it lifts but for its restraint too. Ol' Kirby loved to gobble up area rugs, laughing at me as I vainly stood on the rugs while trying to vacuum them. The Dyson tugged at some of these rugs, but it never ate them, and now they look fluffed as well as clean. One reason I had kept the Kirby so long was for its suction when using attachments, but the Dyson performed every bit as well. The hose portion is stiff, but I hope it will soften in time, and it does reach far. Since its pieces snap together, they don't separate in mid use the way the Kirby's twist-together attachments invariably did. Another plus for the Dyson is that the attachments are always with you, and you don't have to bend down and disassemble things to use them; you just click, pull, and go without even cutting the power. The Kirby required fetching the hose and attachment ends, turning the machine off, disengaging the drive belt and removing the beater end, then hooking up the hose, often leaving a small pile of dirt on the floor beneath this operation. The Dyson skips the hassle and lets you attack that cobweb on the wall without the 5 minute pit stop. I do wish for two more attachments ends: a hard, round tube and a larger stair cleaner, as I was used to these with the Kirby.
Emptying a vacuum cleaner will never be this allergy-sufferer's favorite job, and I did have to reach up in the dust bin to pull out massive dust bunnies, but I was so amazed by all the junk the Dyson picked up from my floors that I didn't mind this brief contact. With the Kirby, I could only squish the opaque bag and wonder whether it was full, although the cloud of dust it emitted when turning it on usually gave me a clue. Dyson so far eats dust; it doesn't belch it out the way Kirby did. While vacuuming five rooms, I emptied the bin twice, but I expect that will be less frequent after this initial phase of picking up what the Kirby left behind.
Overall I'm quite happy with the Dyson and hope it lasts a long, long time.
Pros
* suction: plenty strong without eating area rugs
* maneuverability
* convenient attachments: on-board, minimal change-over to start using, good power, long reach
* keeps dirt contained, doesn't spew dust when turned on
Cons
* a little heavy
* only two attachment ends included
"Not impressed"2009-08-07
By A. Saunders (California)
I was convinced that my 7 year old Hoover had seen better days and I really wanted a Dyson. Did the research and found that my want seemed to be a wise choice. The DC25 was highly rated on every website I visited. Got the vacuum home, put it together and I am very disappointed in the amount of suction. My old vacuum still gets up more dirt than the Dyson. One of the main reasons for this purchase was for more suction. I do like how it handles and the conversion from carpet to hard floor is easy, but other than that.....not impressed. If the box hadn't been thrown out, I would return it.
"Disapointed in Dyson!"2009-07-29
By Victor A. Ilnicki (Pittsburgh, Pa.)
I recently purchased a Dyson DC25 All Floors and a Hoover Platinum Bagged vacuum. I am not satisfied with the Dyson. It picked up dirt, but didn't fluff the carpet. I like the carpet to look like it has been swept, which the Dyson didn't do. The Dyson suction didn't seem very good, compared to the Hoover Platinum, which fluffed the carpet beautifully. I still have both sweepers, but I am going to return the Dyson. The Consumer Reports reliability rating for Hoover products is lower than Dyson, but the Hoover Platinum has a 6 year warranty, and the Dyson only has a five year warranty. I am going to take a chance on the Hoover Platinum. I bought the Hoover Platinum Bagged vacuum for $299.00 at Target this week. That is $100.00 off their regular price. Just to see if the Target price was legitimate, I checked Walmart, and their price is $389.99. The Hoover Platinum comes with a separate conister vacuum with attachments which works fine. No attachments for the upright though. Another thing I like about the Hoover is that it weighs under 12 lbs., which is about 4 lbs. lighter that the Dyson.
"You'll be amazed!!!"2009-07-29
By sweetpea (Washington State)
At first I was reluctant to spend $500 in a vacuum cleaner, but I am so glad that I finally took the plunge. Like many others, I purchased mine at BBY with 20% off coupon to save $100. The coupon says you can't use it for dyson, but they will let you.
Old vac vs. dyson: I vacuumed with my old vac first before the initial use of my new dyson to test its effectiveness. I was amazed at how much crud & pet hair this wonderful vacuum sucked up on its maiden voyage. dyson was the clear winner. The suction, as advertised, continues to be strong after six months of use in a home of approximately 2400 square feet in size.
Features: The canister is easy to empty. The brushes are easy to turn off (push of a button) for going from carpeting to wood floors. The built in cleaning wand is very handy to use. The lifetime washable HEPA filter is convenient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly.
The dyson is much lighter and way more efficient than my old upright. I don't smell dust in the air when I vacuum like I did with my old vac--I don't have allergies, but if you do, this vac will please you. I don't find the cord overly short as some have written--it is just over 24.5 feet in length, so unless you have a room longer than 25 feet with only one outlet on one end, the cord length should be just fine. I have tendonitis in my right hand & wrist and I don't find the ball functionality to be hard on my wrist at all--the vacuum moves easily around obstacles and is easy to direct without a lot of effort.
I continue to be amazed at the great performance of this vac and I think you will be amazed, too.
