Cheapest Dyson DC25 Ball All-Floors Upright Vacuum Cleaner

When we purchased our first Dyson about 4 1/2 years ago, we absolutely LOVED it. We couldn't find anything to complain about.....except that it was heavy and a little cumbersome. I recently noticed that we seemed to be losing suction, but blamed it on our new thick carpeting.

So we decided to try the DC25 ball vacuum. Immediately I discovered why our older Dyson was losing power. This new vacuum has a washable HEPA filter, in addition to the regular washable filter (which seems to be new and greatly improved). The suction on this new model is fantastic. It is lifting the fibers on our thick carpeting and I am picking up much more than I did with my older Dyson model. The carpet is a year old, and I am now picking up the new fibers that should have been vacuumed up long ago. It is easy to maneuver and cleans closer to the edges. I'm not needing to move as much furniture for regular vacuuming because I'm getting in and out of smaller spaces.

However, with the smaller, lighter weight, and easier to maneuver size, comes some real negatives. The dirt bin needs to be emptied after vacuuming one or two rooms. And, though I didn't think I would be bothered by the shorter cord, it is an inconvenience to have to move the plug from room to room. I was used to being able to vacuum more than 1/3 of my house without moving the cord. Of course, the longer cord did tend to get more tangled.

I can't quite decide if I am going to keep this vacuum because I haven't decided if the pros outweigh the cons. I'm also disappointed with Dyson and their claim all of these years about the lifetime HEPA filter. Now, they have realized it's not a lifetime filter, and have switched to a washable lifetime filter. I don't know if I trust the fact that this new vacuum is going to last longer than 4 1/2 years. And, I feel a bit ripped off considering what I spent for my first Dyson, under false advertising premises.

All in all, even with the cons, the Dyson vacuums I have owned have still been better than any of the other many vacuums I have owned in the past thirty years.
