Dyson DC25 Ball All-Floors Upright Vacuum Cleaner

This is by far the best vacuum I have ever used. I am even comparing it to a $2000 vacuum my mother once owned. The DC25 is amazingly maneuverable and is very lightweight. We are currently renting a small 1-bedroom apartment and this vacuum has been wonderful. I can actually get around all of the tight spaces and its thin design also allows access under parts of the couch and other furniture. The vacuum is also very easy to use, with limited knobs/buttons that are located in easily viewable locations...how many times have you used a new vacuum and couldnt even find the power switch? The extra tools are also easy to detach and use. I love that the handle turns into an extendable cleaning wand. The filter is also easily removable and after removal from the main unit (by a simple push button), another button pops up on the filter holder to drop open its bottom so you can easily empty with no mess. Many of the other bagless units Ive used required manual removal of the lids, etc. before you could empty them and you just end up with dirty hands. Besides the vacuums ease of use, its cyclone technology is unbelievable. It works much better than other vacuums. On its first use, it picked up so much junk from our carpet that I had to empty the filter holder three times! I also have a friend who owns one of these and they experienced the same thing even after having their carpets professionally steam cleaned. Overall, I couldnt have been happier when I threw my old vacuum away for this one. I would definitely recommend it to anyone, its worth the money!
