Buy Dyson DC25 Ball All-Floors Upright Vacuum Cleaner

My husband and I bought this vacuum after our cheap Bissell just wasn't getting the job done. I read a lot of reviews and carefully chose this vacuum and I'm very happy with our purchase. Our Bissell hardly did anything, I never felt like my floors were ever clean when I was done vacuuming, I felt like I was just wasting my time. This vaccuum made me very happy, though, the first few times I vacuumed! I had to empty the cannister several times the first time vacuuming our house, and I had just used the Bissell the day before. After the first few times, you won't have the empty the cannister nearly as often, I only empty it every few times now. It's the initial vacuuming that fills it up!

What I love about this vacuum:
- It is sooo easy to manuever! I can hold my toddler son on one hip and vaccum with my other hand if I have to! It's really effortless and honestly, fun! I love the ball technology on this vacuum, I don't think I can ever go back to a "normal" vacuum again!
- It REALLY gets your floors clean! I never find anything in my carpet after vaccuming, and my floors look and smell better.
- You can use it on hard floors, too. There's a button to turn off the rotating brush action so that you can vaccum hard floors as well. I LOVE this function, and I use the vacuum to clean my laminate floors often. It saves pushing dirt around with a broom!
- It has edge cleaning, which is wonderful, and eliminates having to pull out the extension tools often. With my Bissell, I was continually pulling out my extension tools to clean the edges of my room and around my couch, etc. With the ball and the edge cleaning combined, I rarely pull out my tools, as the vaccuum gets right up against the wall and gets all my carpet clean.
- The cannister is super easy to empty, just pop off the cannister, hold it into a trash can, and push the release button and shake. I have had to take a paper towel and wipe the inside of the cannister a few times, as dust sometimes builds up inside and the cannister and won't shake out easily.
- It's so much quieter than my other vaccum! My Bissell sounded like a plane coming in for landing, and my toddler son was terrified of it! It took him just a few times to get used to this vaccum and now he "pushes it around the house," pretending to vacuum :0)
- It really feels sturdy. I was nervous paying this much for a vaccum and was terrified it would break, but it's surprisingly solid! It feels like it will last a long time.

What I don't like:
- You can't vacuum up fine powder, like flour or floor cleaning powders. This is frustrating for me, as I was using a deep clean powder on my floors before purchasing this vacuum. Dyson told me, though, that fine powder can clog up the filters, causing problems with sunction and/or shortening the life of the vacuum. So no more deep clean powders for me. I bought a deep cleaner instead, and it works great. Dyson does sell a product called Zorb that you sprinkle on your powder and then vaccum up, but I wasn't happy with the reviews I read of the product.
- Dyson doesn't explain how to take the cannister apart to occasionally clean it. I had a lot of dust build up inside the cannister walls and hate seeing it in there. I figured out how to easily take the cannister apart, it's actually made to come apart, but Dyson doesn't tell you how to do it. You have to figure that out on your own.
- For me, the directions on how to assemble the vaccuum were a little frustrating. They don't really explain anything, they only have pictures. I'm a person who puts things together by reading instructions, not looking at pictures, but thankfully, my husband is a picture guy, and we got it together fine.

Bottom line: This vaccum is amazing and I would recommend it to anyone. We've told all our family and friends about it and I'm so glad we spent the extra bucks to get a really quality vacuum. Our house is a lot cleaner now that we've made this purchase!
