Bravo - Finally a vacuum Cleaner that Works November 17, 2008
It been a month since i purchased this vacuum and its here to stay for a long time. The design and ergonomics is outstanding. Easy to use and every part of the vacuum is well thought out and designed.

5 out of 5 stars

Exactly what i was looking for! November 12, 2008
I was a little skeptical about it because it is a very expensive vaccum, but i'm glad i bought it! very good build quality, amazing power and will gross you out what you see in the filter that came out of your "clean" carpet!!!

It gets every single bit of dirt out of the carpet. The attachements work great in small areas.

I would reccommend it to anyone looking for a great vaccum cleaner.

LOVE it November 9, 2008
After going through 2 "economical" vacuum cleaners in 2 years, I decided that maybe economical was not the route to take. With a handy dandy 20% off coupon for Bed Bath & Beyond, we saved $100 off this baby! It's super easy to use, everything is pretty intuitive. It sucks up everything, easy to clean the container, fairly lightweight (compared to the regular dyson), and easy to store. I LOVE it. Totally worth the money.

*BEWARE* No Customer Service November 8, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful

I purchased my Dyson from Amazon. Unfortunately when it arrived it had a manufacturing defect. The button that turns the brushbar on and off did not work. The button was jammed so that it could not be pushed. I called Dyson customer support. After a *long* wait I explained that the vacuum that I just purchased was inoperable. They explained that "policy" was that my only option was to return it to the point of purchase - i.e. ship it back to Amazon or I could take it to a repair center and have my brand new / never used vacuum serviced. Sorry but spending this kind of money on a new vacuum I did not want to have it repaired before I even used it. I asked to speak to a supervisor and was put on *eternal* hold. I called back and asked for a supervisor and was connected this time. He explained the policy over and over. They were uninterested in helping me out. What did I expect? Just the type of service I have received from other manufactures. In other words they ship me a new vacuum with a return shipping label for the defective unit. But they were not willing to stand by their product since I did not buy it directly from them. So beware if you buy this vacuum. Dyson will not stand by its product simply because of where you buy it from.

Physical disabilities and Dyson C25 November 5, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

After reading the very positive reviews on this site, I selected a Dyson C25 for my new vacuum. I decided to post for evaluation purposes for others who may have aches and pains like me and need a lightweight vacuum.

First, let me acknowledge that my new Dyson works extremely well, is easy to empty, not uncomfortably loud and assembles with no problem at all. It took me 10 minutes, however, to get it out of the box. I was trying to keep from destroying the box so I pulled, twisted and yanked all of the litte pieces of cardboard from around the vacuum. No styrofoam packing, which I appreciated but also no easy way to get it out of the box. It was SECURELY packed! I opened both ends and no amount of pushing or prodding would allow it to slip out. I simply took the packing out one little tear of cardboard at a time.
In hindsight, I would have simply slit the sides and retaped them if I needed to ship back. Assembly took about a 30 seconds after I looked at the pictures and found I was trying to put the handle on backwards.

The Dyson uses a unique wrist action to guide the sweeper across the floor. This is similar to Swiffer mopping with a 16 lb. mop. This is easy on my hardwoods but on my carpet it takes a bit of wrist strength. I also had to retrain myself to use a vacuum in this way. If you have arthritis in your wrists, you may want to try one a C25 in the store before purchase. My wrists were extremely sore at first but have strengthed so I can vacuum about 10 minutes before resting.

I also have a lower back problem which only bothers me when standing for long periods fo time or using a sweeping/mopping action. It bothered me with my old sweeper...it bothers me with this one. I didn't expect miracles but on the carpet and hardwoods, this vacuum doesn't feel featherlight. You may want to try one in the store if you have back problems. The telescoping tool wand is a little clumsy to handle, the hose tries to retract slightly when you turn it on and I haven't yet decided if I like using it. I have to use a bit of muscle to get it up high. I may find that with a little practice, it is a very efficient tool for baseboards. I love the way it stores in the handle. I'll post later with my verdict. For now, I'm not subtracting stars.

The things I like best about my C25 are:
1. Makes my rooms smell noticeably clean.
2. Cleans all the dust out of the cracks of my hardwoods with little effort.
3. Has a power switch and beater brush off/on switch that can be used without bending.
4. 'Love the see-through bagless canister and look forward to emptying it
5. No apparent leaks.
6. Swivel head glides easily around objects. Compact head fits in nooks and crannies.
7. Folds flat enough to vacuum all the way under my coffee table!

8. Clean floors! Clean floors!

9. Makes my area rugs look wonderful! Cleans up cat hair out of carpet!

What I like less about my C25:

Swiveling head sits very close to the floor so cobwebs/dust only 1 inch above floor goes untouched without getting out the want and tools.

Makes my wrist hurt.

Starts each time with the beater brush turned on

Short power cord (only a slight drawback)

Must pick up vacuum with hand grip and move 3 inches to get above smaller area rugs.

Wand is heavy to lift overhead and seems awkward (at least at first) when cleaning hard to reach places.

All in all, a four-star vacuum leaning to 5 stars for superb cleaning ability leaving an incredible fresh smell. I would buy again. I recommend trying it out in a store if you have physical disabilities.
