Vacuum Cleaner Series: Dyson - let's get it over with already

Since we all want to compare every vacuum out there to a Dyson, let's look at their uprights.

DC28 Animal ($600.00): 21 lbs. - 245 watts
DC25 Animal ($550.00): 16 lbs. - 220 watts
DC25 All Floors ($500.00): 16 lbs. - 220 watts
DC24 Animal ($450.00): 12 lbs. - 115 watts
DC33 MultiFloor ($400.00): 18 lbs.  - 240 watts
DC35 MultiFloor Cordless ($300.00 - looks like an
overgrown leaf blower): 5 lbs. - Bingo! - 65 watts but can only run for 15 minutes. Darn.

The uprights pretty much all have wonderful telescoping hoses that can clean a whole flight of stairs, but that comes with added weight as we can see. They are gorgeous, they have a great website, fantastic reviews, and expensive photography, but they're heavy.

21 pounds?  You sure are gorgeous but you'll need to get rid of that extra weight.
