My very reliable DC07 eventually experienced total electrical burn out. So, off to my local retail park for a replacemnt. I chose the DC25 - and have regretted that decision ever since.
The hose is far too tightly coiled. It will not reach to the top of my stairs (3 risers short), where the 07 managed to get to the top with no difficulty. When using the hose on the level the main unit chases you as soon as you get past 50% of the coiled length. Then it tips over and that cleverly designed spear where the handle used to be pierces your wallpaper. The wheels when raised must have been designed to knock lumps of of your woodwork and door frames. Those rearward-facing arrow heads on the cleaning head catch the cable, getting tangled up too easily and cause many manoevering difficulties.
I can never recommend this terrible item to anyone else. I should have the Vax, and saved a pocketful of money at the same time!
Did the designer of this disaster ever used it in a real home?
