Dyson DC25 Ball All-Floors Upright Vacuum Cleaner Immediately

I bought this vacuum after falling for the TV ad. I have owned many vacuum cleaners from the cheapest Kenmore to a true Electrolux. The least I have ever paid for a vacuum was $39 back in the '60's. This vacuum looked interesting to me and I was ready for an easier to maneuver machine. I got it home, assembled it (no problems there) and began to put it through it's paces. I have one large room with wood floors and area rugs. To vacuum wood floors or other hard floor, you turn off the brush to avoid scratches and scattering dust. I did this and proceeded to vacuum the wood floor. This thing wouldn't even pick up a light layer of dust, but if there was a dust bunny or dog hair it blew it around the floor until I got it cornered and then I had to have the vacuum directly over the offending piece of dust. It wouldn't pick up anything directly in front of it or next to it. It did an OK job on the area rugs with the brush on, but I had to empty the container 3 times, because it is so small. I could do this room at least 15 times before I have to change a bag with my Electrolux. My advice: buy a cheap vacuum for now and save for an authentic Electrolux (now selling under the brand name of Aerus) Get more detail about Dyson DC25 Ball All-Floors Upright Vacuum Cleaner.
