“dyson DC25 Animal Eater”
I just purchased a Dyson DC25 Animal. So far so good. I was not going to spend the money,but darn it, this thing was cool. I wanted a vacuum that was light,i have to carry it up and down stairs. This isnt exactly light, but it wasnt the heaviest, either. Its my understanding that all the vacuums with the cyclone system are going to be heavy. What sold me was the claim on not loosing suction(which is yet to be seen), the fact that ALL the filters are washable, so no buying replacement filters to clog up, and the fact that the wand/hose was so long, you could go all the way up stairs without the vacuum tipping over. Also, an added benefit was that you can shut the brushes off, and clean up stuff like kitty litter, without it scattering all over. i like that I can use it on my wood floor, and then follow up with the Shark Steam mop. Only two downfalls I notice already after day one, is that the cord isnt retractable, which isnt a huge deal, but for 500 bucks, seems like it oughtta have all the bells and whistles. It matters because if you just wanted to use the wand to reach something, you have to completely undo the whole length of cord, because it prevents the wand from coming out unless its unwound.The other is that I noticed the dirt cup sure doesnt hold much, but in a way thats good, forces you to keep it clean and empty. I imagine that as I get all the dirt the old vac left behind, that dirt cup wont fill as fast.
