What timing. My 10-year-old Kenmore upright vacuum cleaner is just about on its way to vaccuum heaven (or hell, given how much of a pain in the arce it has been.)  What luck when I was asked to review this fancy bride-white Dyson DC25 Limited Edition Blueprint Vacuum on my blog.

What I like:

• It picks up a ton more stuff than the tired old clunker it’s replacing.
• It maneuvers like a charm when doing carpet and running it over floors.  That articulating ball thingy works great.
• No bags! Whohoo! I can see when it’s getting full, and boy can I see a lot! With our family of 4 plus 2 cats and 2 dogs, it fills up fast with all kinds
  of dust bunnies, animal hair, and kid’s trinkets that have fallen behind dressers and under beds and into every nook and cranny imaginable.
• It’s lighter (about 16 lbs) than the old clunker (about 19 lbs) and I notice it hauling it up and down stairs.
• Once you get used to the techie whiz-bang attachment thingy, it’s pretty easy to go from vacuuming floors to vacuuming couches and using the dust tool.
• The simple attachment for vacuuming the couches and getting at the stairs is quite good, and the suction is great. Does a much better job on my couches than my old vacuum.
