Which Dyson vacuum?
I'm in need of a new vacuum and am considering purchasing a Dyson. I have a medium sized house with mainly worn carpet that will be replaced in the (hopefully) near future with a mixture of carpet and some sort of hard flooring (wood, laminate, ceramic, not sure yet...) . We do not have any pets. My wife hates lugging our current vacuum up and down the steps due to its weight and awkwardness and I'm tired of having a cheap vacuum break down every couple of years. I'm looking at the DC23, DC24, & DC25 models. I'm currently leaning toward the DC23. Any thoughts/suggestions?
I have no experience with Dyson except checking the price tag...ouch! I bought a Shark Navigator right here on WOOT two years ago for around $60 and it is amazing. Same technology as the Dyson but much cheaper. I have an Australian Shepherd that sheds like crazy and this vacuum works like a champ.
We have a DC24, works great for ~1000 sq. ft. home with carpets and hardwoods. The vacuum is pretty light, my wife doesn't have any difficultly picking it up and the ball makes it easy to maneuver. Definitely happy with it.
Here's a comparison chart:
Another vote for the DC24.
Thanks all for your advice. I did a bit of comparing and finally decided on the DC24. I picked one up on Wednesday morning's woot-off and had it at my house on Thursday. First impressions are pretty favorable. I'll have to run it through some paces though.
Thanks again!
