Easy with good suction July 2, 2008

I got my new Dyson today, and like others have mentioned, I was hesitant to buy such an expensive vacuum. My mother got a Dyson DC 16 a few months ago, and has been raving about it ever since. I LOVE my new dyson! The DC 25 is so easy to use, I didn't even need the instructions! The compartment is also easy to empty, and you can tell exactly what you are picking up. There are two filters that you are supposed to clear every 3 months that I didn't know about, but it looks like all you have to do is run them under water and then let them dry. Definetly worth every penny!

Great suction - moves around corners and furniture great. Cord should be longer. Very lightweight, easy to carry up and down steps (unlike the Kirby).
Dyson or Miele June 29, 2008

I have a Miele that I bought over five years ago. A great vacuum but it has had two services in the past year and the power head is starting to fail. A new power head is several hundred dollars, so I decided to try the Dyson.
The Miele has run flawlessly for years. The only down side is the power head on my older machine has a beater bar that runs off of a pulley that does wear out. I have had it replaced three times and last year the motor on the power head failed.
The good news with Miele is that most vacuum stores provide service and can fix anything that breaks. The machine is not a throw away item. It can be repaired.
With respect to the Dyson, out of the box, assembly was easy.
It is light weight and handles well. The ball head suction is nice for pivoting on the carpet. I was able to do stairs by simply lifting the machine and doing each step with the power brush.
A few observations on the Dyson:
1.) The vacuum does fill up if there is a great deal of dirt. I have had to empty the canister several times when cleaning a particularly dirty area.
2.) The machine suction is perfect. Unlike the Miele which had a tendency to over suck certain areas, this seems to be the perfect amount.
3.) The beater bars have no height adjustment. I'm not certain if this is good or bad. The height appears to be OK.
Overall, it is a good machine. It is light, versatile, good suction and maneuverable.
The Miele is extremely durable and repairable. However, a new Miele costs over $1000.
The Dyson is a light weight plastic with unknown longevity. Repairs are not well documented or even simple. It may be a disposable system in five years, but that is an unknown.
In terms of price, try a 20%coupon from BB&B and price match an online cost of $449. Total cost about $369.00

The Dyson meets its claims. The power is outstanding, easily picking up lint from very difficult-to-clean, dense, old carpeting in a particular room of my house. The machine easily switches from carpet to tile floors, and the on-board wand with accessories is helpful once you get used to them. Be sure to watch the dust bin maximum fill level mark, especially when using for the first time, to avoid over-filling.
Almost Fantastic June 23, 2008

I read all the reviews raving about how easy this vacuum is to maneuver for people with bad backs so I bought it. It is no easier to push than my old one -- but it really cleans like crazy. I had vacuumed my living room twice - with 2 different vacuums - then filled the bin with one pass of the Dyson. The pictures-only directions made putting it together a bit of a challenge.
