DC25 Animal

Summary

Thought long and hard about which Dyson was to be my next as my old one still did a decent job (after 10years) but liked the look of the new ball technology. I was not dissapointed. Takes a while to get out of the habit of moving forward & back but bearing in mind I have been hoovering like that for many years its not surprising. I'm sure i made the right choice, very pleased with it.

What are the strengths?
Cleans all types of floors (even though its not an 'All floors' model). Easy to switch from carpet to hardfloor. If you have pets this is the best on the market. Much lighter than my earlier model. Very manoeverable. Easy to empty.
What are the weaknesses?
Smaller dust capacity but its so easy to empty its not a problem. No onboard storage for mini turbine brush.

I love my animal

Summary

Having planned to buy this vacuum cleaner for months I was concerned on collecting it that it might not live up to my exceedingly high expectations - I was not disappointed - the DC25 Animal got so much dirt from my carpet I'd have been embarrassed if I wasn't so chuffed. If you have a pet it is definitely worth paying the small amount extra for the animal rather than the allfloors (which I haven't tried).

I'm sure the novelty will wear off but if you can get a bit more enjoyment when you get your dyson out to do the chores - it can never be a bad thing ey?

How long have you used the product?

What are the strengths?
Picks up a hell of a lot of cat hair and dust that other vacuum cleaners don't.
Simple to assemble and use out of the box.
Almost impossible to think of ways to improve on the design.
The ball concept takes getting used to but ultimately seems like the way forward because you can cover one area more quickly.
5 year warranty.
Well packaged.
What are the weaknesses?
The capacity for holding dirt isn't huge - but having said that, it's easy to empty and surely better not to store dirt indefinitely.
Not a cheap household appliance (but think of the warranty...
Does seem a little heavy but I think that's probably an illusion due to the different weight load of the ball - it's not like you have to pick it up, unless you're taking it upstairs (I live in a bungalow so no problems there).
