After spending $350 on my Dyson DC25 I raced home to put it together (very easy to do) and waited to be blown away by this "revolutionary" vacuum. I'm still waiting. It is an okay vacuum but for the money, I want great. Here's my quick pros and cons:
Pros: Very easy to maneuver, light weight, cleaner than other bagless vacuums to empty (but still messy), secure onboard tool storage, integrated hose tube (this is important to me because my toddlers loved grabbing the tubes from the side of my Hoover then running around the house using them as weapons), washable filters.
Cons: The short cord...don't underestimate how annoying this can be. I constantly have to stop and reposition the plug. The small canister...granted I have 2 labs and 3 toddlers, but even vacuuming every other day I typically empty the bin 4-5 times while cleaning my 3000 sq ft. house. The lack of hand tools. For the money it needs to include the upholstery tool and a dusting tool (btw they are $70 and $30 each to buy!) The hose wand is heavy when you are trying to clean ceiling fans, etc. The small wheels in the back are tiny plastic things and easily get caught and cords, thresholds, etc when you are just moving the vacuum around. The vacuum does seem to put off a lot of heat, too.
When I bought the Dyson, I compared it with my 5 year old Hoover Windtunnel and my friends Kenmore Progressive (consumer reports best buy). The Dyson and the Kenmore cleaned about the same but the Kenmore did a much better job of picking up the matted down carpet. The carpet "looked freshly vacuumed" after the Kenmore.
In conclusion...the DC25 is an okay vacuum but I don't believe it is worth the money. If I could do it over I would most likely but the Kenmore progressive...much cheaper and works just as well.
