So, I've wanted a Dyson vacuum cleaner for a very long time now. The things is that they're just rather expensive, and I haven't felt like we could spring for that sort of an investment. It's funny how your priorities change when you know there's going to be a little child crawling around on the floor with all the cat hair and only God knows what else. Add to this the fact that we had sorta killed our previous vacuum (more on this later) and well... we were due a new one.
With this in mind, we made the decision to finally purchase a Dyson. After quite a bit of research we went for the DC25. Model numbers are confusing at first, but the DC25 is essentially a lightweight vacuum with the same power as the larger Dysons. It has greater manueverability (it sits on a ball instead of wheels) and a smaller capacity (by half). We went with the "all floors" version which just means you don't get an extra attachement for the "wand" that helps with animal fur.
