Dyson DC25 Ball All-Floors Upright Vacuum Cleaner Order Now

We just purchased a Dyson DC 25 all floors vacuum from Lowe's for $381 and it is living up to all of the high reviews. It is the most maneuverable and easiest vacuum to operate that we have ever used, and we have tried all that are on the market over the past twenty years. Six people and two 150 pound dogs provide a great test environment and on first use, this vacuum is proving to be up to the task.

As to the price, Sears has a 15% off on all appliances through May 02, 2009. Lowe's has a price match policy that adds another ten percent providing both the local Sears and Lowes have the item in stock. The total 25% discount from the $499 list put it at $381.

I shopped all the competitor products and was amazed at the amount of mis-information. For example, an Oreck dealer advised me that the belt change for the DC 25 was a $90 task and very difficult, that belts would last only about six months,and the cleaning needed tobe done by a professional about twice a year at great expense. There is no belt! Others had talked about clogged cones, but based on the experience of friends who own older Dyson models, this only happens if you pick up a lot of fine particles like drywall dust. As it turns out, cleaning the cones with air and an old paint brush is not a difficult task. If however you use it as a wet-dry vac and pickup some water,the cleaning may be a bit more difficult, but is still well within the capability of my technically challenged neighbor who has only found it necessary to clean his Dyson twice in five years. He was jealous that I was getting a ball, but his older machines are working too well to justify replacing them.

Bottom line -- everything from the packaging to the design and quality of construction has been of the highest quality higher than the Kirby's, Oreck's, and myriad of other brands I have purchased in the past. It doesn't appear that any of the mythical problems are systemic in nature, so if the features fit your needs and the price fits your budget, go for it!Get more detail about Dyson DC25 Ball All-Floors Upright Vacuum Cleaner.
