I have been drooling over the Dyson Animal Dc25 vacuum cleaner for a while now and have been toying with the idea of buying one for myself. These are not cheap vacuums, so this was a decision that I really needed to spend some time thinking over.The heavy duty vacuum cleaner that we have been using for the last couple of years is one that doesn’t really work anymore. I have to go over the same spot several times to suck up anything… and even then my vacuum doesn’t get it all. There is no real suction and I can do a better job cleaning my carpets on my hands and knees than with my current vacuum. Talk about frustrating housework!
I got on my computer and started researching vacuum cleaners. I wanted the Best vacuum cleaner of 2012. I looked at consumer reports and I read blog reviews of vacuum cleaners as well as Amazon reviews. I knew that whatever vacuum I bought needed to be a top ten vacuum cleaner that would get the job done.
I finally gave in and bought my Dyson after visiting my sister-in-law’s home and seeing her brand new Dyson fresh out of the box. I really wanted to take it for a spin to see how well it handled before I made the leap to buy one of my own. After all the Dyson Animal Dc25 vacuum retails for $499.99 {as of the date of this post}. There is no way I was going to drop $500 on a vacuum I had never tried.
I test drove my sister-in-laws {SIL} Dyson and was hooked. Then she told me what she paid for it and I knew that I was going to be getting my very own Dyson vacuum very soon. Want to know how much she paid? My SIL paid around $250 for her vacuum! She paid half price for her Dyson from Woot (a daily deal website).
I looked on Woot and came to the realization that I had missed my window of opportunity. So I scoured the World Wide Web looking for a similarly great deal and I came across a Dyson vacuum for $279. I called my husband and discussed this purchase and then I went ahead and I bought it myself a Dyson Animal Dc25 vacuum cleaner.
With my home up for sale it is very important that my home be clean. I want my house to sparkle like the top of the Chrysler building! I also value my time and do not want to spend hours vacuuming the same carpets over and over again hoping that the vacuum will finally suck up that stray fuzzie. I want to vacuum a room once and move onto the next area of my home. I hope the Dyson will live up to my expectations {don’t worry I will post my review}!
What vacuum do you use in your home and how do you like it?
