The Dyson DC 25 vacuum cleaner, a personal review

A Dyson Vacuum cleaner costs a lot - is it worth it?

Here's my personal experience.

I unpacked the Dyson DC 25 ball cleaner, plugged the Dyson in,vacuumed my living room floor and was amazed. I'd thought my floor was clean- the Dyson DC 25 knew otherwise. This incredible Dyson ball vacuum with root cyclone technology picked up a full container of dust and dirt from my carpet! You have to buy a Dyson for your next vacuum cleaner! (IMO!) I have now had my Dyson for four years - it still works brilliantly.

I have the all floors version of the Dyson DC 25, as I have a combination of carpets and hard floors.

It's worth remembering that the Dyson is a bagless vacuum cleaner- save on bags! Plus, it comes with a five year guarantee. If you need a new hose - the Dyson team deal with it and replace it quickly and free of charge ( just remember to register your purchase)

I'm normally resistant to buying accessories, but this Dyson soft dusting brush is brilliant, and I would recommend that if you buy any Dyson vacuum cleaner you also buy this Dyson soft dusting brush.

There is the number 1 obvious reason- the Dyson vacuum cleaner works brilliantly.

An important part of my review of the Dyson DC 25 though, is the little things that I love about the Dyson Ball as well as the bigger things.

Here are the reasons why I love my Dyson.

• The Dyson DC 25 picks up dirt better than any other cleaner.
• The Dyson DC 25 has a really long flex, so you can clean a huge area without plugging and unplugging. This is important to me!
• You can see how much you've picked up in the clear dust canister. This makes me feel so happy and very virtuous.
• You can easily see when the Dyson DC 25 needs emptying.
• The Dyson DC 25 is very, very easy to empty.
• You don't need to buy bags for the Dyson DC 25
• The Dyson DC 25 filters are very easy to reach and clean.
• If you register your Dyson DC 25 online with the official Dyson website, Mr James Dyson sends you an email after a few weeks to remind you to wash your filters. How cool is that?!
• The Dyson DC 25 attachments are easy to reach, easy to fix, and very effective.
• The Dyson DC 25 has a very long reach. I have high ceilings which I can easily dust with the long Dyson arm and the Dyson soft brush attachment.
• I just love the ball on the DC 25. The Dyson ball rolls around the room and turns corners like a Formula 1 racing car. The Dyson DC 25 is the most easy to push vacuum cleaner I've ever owned. If you think the roller ball is just a gimmick you're wrong. The Dyson Ball is just fantastic. It gets into corners and round bends better than any other cleaner I've owned.( and I've owned a lot!)
• The Dyson DC 25 looks great. I love it.
• The Dyson DC 25 works equally well on carpeted floors or hard floors. It does a great job on the kitchen and bathroom floors.

I've tried to be fair. It's difficult when you're in love, and I love my Dyson DC 25. I never thought I'd ever say that about a household gadget- I hate housework with a passion, but this Dyson vacuum has improved my life hugely.

However, in the interests of a fair review, here's what I don't like about the Dyson DC 25.

• The Dyson DC 25 is a little heavier than other vacuum cleaners I've used, and so is a little harder to carry upstairs.

  That's all folks! That's the only slightly bad thing I can say about my Dyson DC 25.

There are some women who apparently like to get household tools as a Christmas gift.

Not Me!

If something is needed by the family and household to make it run more smoothly ( a Dyson certainly does that) then it should come out of the general family budget. ...........unless the woman of the household really , really does think this would be a great treat.

I have a friend who really wanted a new food processor. She does a lot of home cooking, and her old one had broken.On Christmas day she unwrapped her present wondering what treat it could be..... and there was a kitchen tool- a food processor. Boy was she unhappy! Her husband had made a bad call!

Dyson, the very best vacuum cleaner, sometimes appears on ebay.You can also find Dyson vacuum accesories.
