This is my first Dyson. I borrowed a friend's DC24 and loved it. Thought I would go one better with the DC25 as I have a hairy cat but am disappointed. Not very easy to manoevre and heavy. Needs emptying frequently. Some reviewers state the hose will not reach many stairs; I am wondering if they are omitting to attach the tube to the hose? The machine is not steady when using attachments. I have not yet tried to clean walls or ceilings and am rather dreading this. Are these machines actually tested by women (who usually do the cleaning) or just by strong men? Would not recommend this model.

hi
I am reading reviews trying to decide. I read you comment, the DC24 (2.6m)has a shorter hose than that of the DC25(4.4) hence the 24 will not reach up a standard stair case.
good review though

THANKS FOR THE MENTION OF THE DIFFERENCE BETEEN THE DC24 AND THE DC 25. IN REACHING UP THE STAIRS. I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND AT FIRST, BUT NOW YOUR EXPLANATION IS 'STAIRING ME IN THE FACE"
