| Vacuuming In My Dreams |
|
I am one sick puppy! All I want to do lately is vacuum. What is wrong with me? My friend called and I was playing with the vacuum. I kept trying to vacuum while talking. She’s a true friend and she understood my “need to vacuum” and told me she would talk to me later. I told my sister all about my new toy. I told her when she comes over for Thanksgiving, “WE CAN VACUUM!” LOL, she’s almost as excited as I am. Now everyone wants to “borrow” my vacuum. I went to take some neighbor girls home and was chatting with their dad. I told him I bought a new vacuum and how excited I was with it. He said he has a Dyson. I laughingly said, “Oh so you understand!” He laughed and said, “Yes, Have had it for 2 years and still love to vacuum with it.” I told my husband I was going to INVEST in a good vacuum. I came home with the vacuum of my dreams. I’ve been drooling over it for about 6 weeks now. Basically I’ve been sick since July when we bought a new kitten. I thought at first it was something blooming. It soon became obvious it was the kitten. As much as I don’t want to admit to it that’s my problem. I’m too attached now to give her up so began battling the allergins. Dust is as big or more of a culprit as the kitten. My old vacuum blew out half of what it sucked up and so I was more miserable after vacuuming than before I began. It got to the place where I wore a mask and goggles when I vacuumed and ran a big air filter too. It wasn’t doing the trick. Thus began my search. I looked and looked and began drooling over the Dyson Absolute Animal DC17. I had decided that was the vacuum to answer all of my problems. It had super suction to get the dirt and dander out of carpets and furniture. It has one of the highest ratings on emissions. The only issue was the cost. I checked with consumer reports and they basically rated another vacuum just as good but it was $200 less. Okay, I made up my mind to go and check that one out. It was a Kenmore. So I went to Sears with my mind pretty much set on the Kenmore. I found the model and told the sales woman about my search and decision. She listened intently and then said she had more info to add to what consumer reports shared. Yes, the Kenmore does just as well when it’s pulled out of the box. But when the bag fills, you lose suction. You have to buy bags and filters which add up over time. With the Dyson you do not have to buy ANYTHING else. The Dyson has a 5 year warranty and the service is rated highly as well. (Apparently Sears doesn’t have the same ratings in service.) Well, I went with what I originally wanted. DH had heart failure when I told him what I paid. But I am already feeling tons better. The air smells better and there’s less dust around. I am thrilled. I’m also amazed at what it sucks out of the carpeting. Incredible. I vacuumed my great room carpet and had to empty the cylinder three times. Not because the cylinder is small, but because the the amount of YUCK it took out of my carpets. I’m not coughing and congested. It’s WONDERFUL!  My New Toy! |
