Two models, one small, one large :-

DC25

Saw the DYSON DC25 at Bed Bath & Beyond last week, listed at $499 next to the DC17 and DC18.  I have to say, I like that particular model the best out of all three DYSON Ball models.  It's roughly the same size as the Slim, and uses an identical bin and cyclone assembly.  The brushroll appears different from that of the Slim and Absolute, with slightly wider bristles.  I very nearly picked one up, but then I remembered if I purchased one from a good friend and DYSON dealer I would not have to pay full retail for it.

One interesting thing I noticed is that along the lines of Best Buy et al, all three machines appeared to have been used by the amount of dirt in the bins unlike the other machines displayed.  Other than that, they looked brand new.  Small wonder they prefer the DYSONS to deal with that fine commercial dirt over anything else.

I wish we had this unit in Canada.  The DC24 is a good seller but it's not for every application due to it's size.  The DC25, assuming it handles the same would easily take the place of the DC18.  Hopefully they'll let us have it in the fall when the new models come out.

Hi Dusty,

Interesting the DC25 isn't in Canada, first time I've heard that.  I agree with you that the DC24, while a compact yet powerful machine good for apartments, condos, and such, is limited by its bin capacity in most applications.  I've also heard rumors about its brushroll not being aggressive enough either, but I inspected one at Target and didn't see (or feel) anything wrong there.

The DC25 to me would be much more practical out of the two; larger bin capacity and full-width nozzle yet still small enough to be considered a lightweight.  As I mentioned in my previous post, it's roughly the size of the DC18 Slim, yet the carrying handle is positioned much lower so it is less awkward to lift.

I have no problem with Dyson.  Product arrives on time and the company provides us with good co-op and support. Can't ask for more than that.

Yes you can ask for more.  The above is expected/required by dyson based on the contract that you sign with it.

Let me re-phrase.  Dyson does as much and in some cases more than any of our other suppliers. We have no complaints.

Hello Dusty:

Better.  I call it wordsmithing.  You're very good at it.  Like some else I use to know.

Carmine,

Back off.  I like hearing what Dusty has to say and saying it from Canada.  You and the countless of other bad-mouthing anti-Dyson dealers (and retired) have had you way on these types of forums, youtube and review sites for many years.  Disagree with the guy (Dusty), just don’t insult him.        DIB

 

P.S.  Please back off from calling Motorhead someone he is not, too.  Burning people out is not the object of this forum.  Spirited disagreement, yes.  Burning them out with insults, no.

Are you speaking to me on behalf of yourself?  Using others?

I like hearing what Dusty and Motor say!  As well as MOLE!  And others, including you.   

I'm the poster child for insults on this Forum.  I get them all the time and have for years from all the dyson fans.  Why?  Dyson fans outnumber the 2 lone dyson critics here [Mole and I].  Mole and I don't cry foul over it.  We're here.  We're not running and hiding.  

Maybe you're afraid that the dyson fans may leave you here by your lonesome to defend yourself and your dyson drivel.  Don't like those odds then?

Explain the reason that filtering has suffered on the latest dysons while the prices stay the same and go up?  Can the ball answer.  I ain't buying it.  Why should people spend $500 for a dyson and not get the best dyson filtering?  Have an answer to that question?  Afraid to answer?

You backed off, big time on the above challenge to answer.  By your silence and absence, you speak louder than your words.
