Dyson Dc25
I was skeptical about Dyson vacs in general because of the price, but I have to
say this is probably one of the best purchases I've ever made for several
reasons. The main reasin is that I have nerve damage and less than normal
cartilage in my lower vertebrae, which made vacuuming very painful and laborous.
On top of that, I have two dogs so I vacuum all the time. This vacuum is
literally a miracle for me. It is so lightweight and so easy to maneuver that I
don't have any pain after doing the whole house. That is really saying
something, since things as small as leaning over for 10 minutes to wash the
dishes causes me pain. It practically glides effortlessly across my floors
(which are half carpet and half hardwood). Seriously, I almost cried tears of
joy the first time I used it.
In addition, it works spectacular, and
just snapped together out of the box. The first time you use it you'll see that
so much thought went into the design specifcially for functionality. It's pretty
and modern, but more importantly, it's functional. I love that it can move along
flush with a wall, so I rarely need to use the attachments (except to get behind
stuff). And it's relatively small. I expected it to be much larger, but it's
small and so very, very light. You'll really notice the difference between it's
16lb and the normal 25-30lb for other 11 amp vacs. And it's relatively quiet.
Another thing I really like is that it doesn't seem to be a dust magnet.
My last vacuum cleaner seemed to attract most of the dirt to itself, rather than
sucking it into the canister. I stored it outside in our laundry room because it
was a stinky mess (and I'm talking about a high end Dirt Devil model that was
less than a year old). The Dyson is clean enough to stay in the house after
several months.
Vacuuming is not the most glamorous thing in the world,
but this vac has surely revolutionized house cleaning for me. I know, silly, but
it's true. It's a good Dyson Dc25 Ball Vacuum.
