The Dyson DC25 Multi Floor (formerly known as the DC25 All Floors) is a high-end bagless vacuum that receives generally strong ratings from professional and user reviewers. Owners praise it for its power and maneuverability, though some find the attachment hose and tools awkward to use. In professional tests, the Dyson DC25 receives good-to-excellent scores for cleaning performance on carpets and bare floors, but only fair-to-good scores for noise level. It does do well at controlling allergens and pet hair. Like all Dyson models, the DC25 comes with a five-year warranty. We found better reviews overall for the Dyson DC28 Animal (*Est. $530) , but this model is more expensive. If you're looking for a less expensive bagless vacuum, the Hoover WindTunnel T-Series Rewind Plus Bagless UH70120 (*Est. $120) offers good performance for less than one-quarter the price of either Dyson model.
The most thorough tests of the Dyson DC25 are conducted by ConsumerReports.org and its U.K equivalent, Which? magazine. We also found more than a thousand user reviews at Amazon.com, Viewpoints.com, BestBuy.com and Epinions.com, most of them extremely positive.
