Comments
Good points: Good selection of functions, including pyrolytic cleaning, for the price. Coped well with baking fairy cakes and vol au vents and produced an acceptable roast chicken. Shows the temperature the oven is building up to what you have set and beeps when set temperature is reached.
Drawbacks: Tricky to fit whole roast dinner in the oven at once, however, and potatoes were a bit soggy. Crumble was pale after the recommended cooking time. Grilling times were slow. Small viewing window makes it hard to check what’s happening inside.

Dyson DC25 All Floors is an upright Dyson Ball™ vacuum for every floor type. Rides on a ball for greater maneuverability.
Ball™ technology – Steers smoothly with a turn of the wrist. Root Cyclone™ technology – Patented Dyson technology that doesn’t lose suction power as you vacuum. Quick-draw Telescope Reach™ wand – Single-action wand with instant reach for stair and high-reach cleaning. Lifetime washable HEPA filter – Designed to trap microscopic allergens.
The DC25 includes all of Dyson’s best features, from the Root Cyclone technology that drives the powerful suction motor to the large rubberized ball that is exclusive only to Dyson.
It doesn’t require belts or bags, and it is equipped with a washable HEPA filter that lasts the life of the vacuum cleaner.
The DC25 rolls easily on all surfaces, and the high-speed brush roll can be switched off for effortless transition from carpeted surfaces to floors.
The extra-long onboard attachments and telescopic hose are always handy for reaching into those hard to reach spaces.
Some of the shared features of the DC25 Animal and All Floors models include:
-
Powerful motor featuring Root Cyclone technology
-
Exclusive Dyson ball design
-
High speed controllable brush roll
-
Washable HEPA filter
-
Onboard attachments and telescopic hose
-
1/3 gallon transparent dust container empties with touch of a button
The cyclonic action of the Dyson DC25 vacuum separates dirt from air using centrifugal force instead of filters, trapping dirt and fine dust particles in an easily emptied collection bin. The bin is transparent, so you can clearly see when it is time to empty it.
The HEPA filter prevents fine dust and allergens from escaping through the machine’s exhaust and being blown back into the air to be inhaled. The exhaust of a Dyson vacuum cleaner has been shown to contain considerably lower levels of mold and bacteria than other vacuum cleaners, earning Dyson asthma friendly certification from the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America.
Dyson’s claim that its vacuum cleaners are the only ones not to lose suction even when full is true in this case. The Dyson DC25 vacuum delivers powerful and consistent suction that does not diminish as the collection bin becomes full. The high-speed rotating brush roll deeply cleans carpets and furniture, even homes with pets.
The Dyson DC25 is the latest version of the unique Dyson ball vacuum cleaner. The large rubber ball serves more than one purpose, functioning as a wheel that gives the vacuum mobility unlike a conventional 4-wheeled upright vacuum.
The ball also houses the motor, supporting its weight so that it does not have to be carried by the user’s hand. This gives the impression that this vacuum cleaner is much lighter than it looks; so light, in fact, that it can be easily steered with one hand.
The mini turbine tool is an add-on that attaches to any Dyson vacuum cleaner and is designed to get into hard-to-reach areas and for better removal of dirt and pet hair.
