Amazon Gold Box Deal of the Day: Dyson DC25 Ball All-Floors Upright Vacuum Cleaner for $299 shipped

Today's Amazon Gold Box Deal of the Day is this  Dyson DC25 Ball All-Floors Upright Vacuum Cleaner for $299.00 with free shipping.

You might recall that Amazon had the identical Gold Box Deal of the Day on 3/7/12, only for $319.99.  I do recall it, because we bought our Dyson DC25 vaccum through that deal and we couldn't be happier.  (No regrets about the $20 difference; you can't time deals, and we've had 8 months of glossy clean hardwood floors.)

I'll tell you what I told you back in March:  this Dyson vacuum has every feature we'd been looking for:  it's lightweight (23 lbs), easy to maneuver because of the ball,  bagless, has that incredibly efficient "cyclone" technology, has a HEPA filter, comes with a 5-year p&l warranty, and has got excellent reviews, especially for homes with pets.  Current owners consistently say that a Dyson is basically the best vacuum you can buy, period.

In January, we got a new, beautiful white-haired Labrador-mix dog.  We love him, but he sheds like nobody's business. Pre-Dyson, we had been living with copious amounts of dog hair all over the house.   I used to vacuum with our little $85 Bissell, but it just didn't do the trick.  Each night I was been sweeping up enough hair to make up another dog, and I never seem to get all of it.  This Dyson has completely changed the way we clean.  I had been salivating after this model for a while, but I never thought we could afford it.

Sears has it for $754.95 (ridiculous), Walmart has it for $399, Home Depot has it for $499, and back then, I told myself that there was no way we were spending that kind of money on a vacuum.  When it came up as an Amazon Gold Deal for $319.99, I swooped like a falcon.

And now, it's even cheaper.  $299 is pretty much the lowest price you'll see for this Dyson model.

If you've been hankering after a top-of-the-line vacuum for a reasonable price, snag this deal now.  It disappears at the close of the day (after 11/27/12, the price will revert back up to $379).
