Raise your hand if you love cleaning? I don’t see many hands up. OK, now raise your hand if you love vacuuming. I see hands! Yes, they are all in my imagination, but that’s OK, right? Vacuuming is satisfying. I love vacuuming so much that I have a vacuum on every level of my house.. of which there are three.. it’s split level not a castle, bummer. There’s something about sucking up goldfish snacks, leaves, and tiny pieces of cut up paper that makes me feel good. Unlike most things in life, I am in control when I vacuum, especially with my Dysons. They do their job and they are easy for me to push around. What’s not satisfying about that?
My newest vacuum is this beautiful white Dyson DC25 Blueprint, a limited edition, wonderfully satisfying, lightweight, skinny, sleek, upright Dyson Ball vacuum.
As you can see in the photograph to the right and the video below, the Dyson DC25 Blueprint is easy enough for a 3 year old to maneuver. You’d better watch out because once your 3 year old has her hand at your new Dyson DC25 Blueprint, she’s going to point a finger at you and tell you to “stay back Mommy!”. The vacuum sits on a ball which is what makes for excellent maneuverability and the ball’s low center of gravity makes steering the vacuum a cinch.. even Madelyn can do it!
I’ve had the opportunity to try out several Dyson vacuums (this is the 4th in our house.. maybe we need to add a 4th level?) and I am as ecstatic about this one as all of the others. The fact that the Blueprint is white adds a new level of “ooohhh” to the mix and the ball.. gosh, the ball makes the entire vacuuming experience easier. Out of the 4 Dysons I own, the Blueprint is my 2nd favorite because of it’s light weight and manuverability. My #1 favorite is my Pink Dyson DC16 Root 6 which I use several times a day (really) and have for over a year. I would love to have the Dyson 31 handheld Animal Vacuum
Here are a few of my favorite Dyson DC25 Blueprint features:
- The Blueprint is based on the Dyson Ball technology for smooth steering
- It has a HEPA filter and is certified asthma friendly
- I love the hygienic dust bin – crumbs, dust, and whatever else the kids squish into the floor are dumped from the bin with one click.
- On-board tools include a stair and crevice tool
- Incredible suction – don’t try to talk this vacuum out of sucking up your curtains if you get it too close!
I’m a busy mom and I don’t enjoy cleaning so I take all the shortcuts I can. My Dyson vacuums help me achieve supremely clean carpets and hardwood floors quickly and efficiently. And, like I’ve said in my previous Dyson reviews, my husband and son LOVE using the Dysons. So, moms, all you need to get the boys to help you around the house is a sexy shiny white Dyson, and maybe a beer (or a juice box) and I am confident that you’ll have help in no time!
Here is my review of the Dyson DC28 Animal which is kept on the middle level of our house because the carpets and hardwood on this level get the most use (i.e. nasty).

As you may know I am a total gadget geek. I love gadgets and vacuums are no exception. Over the last couple of years I have been given the opportunity to review a few Dyson vacuums including a canister vacuum and a hand held and have been extremely happy with both. The hand held gets used several times a day (no kidding) to pick up snack crumbs, scraps of paper from Madelyn’s cutting projects, and naturally.. cereal that falls on the floor when my 9 year old pours it himself. I know, pouring cereal is a tough job. Our Dyson Canister is used about 2 times a week and what’s really cool is that it’s my husband or Sebastian that uses it!
