Weekend Update: Obsession
>> Sunday, January 18, 2009
Hello, gorgeous.
I never knew I could feel this much for a vacuum. But, I do. I really do.
I spent my Friday night prancing around the house screaming, "OH MY LORD, It's like it's practically vacuuming itself." Or, "OH MY LORD, look at how much it's picked up." I forced Ryan to look at the carpets before and after. It was really exciting for both of us (or at least me).
I vacuumed with the vacuum that will not be named on Thursday. When I got my new beauty, who I have named Nancy (the Navigator), I had to empty two cannisters of hair and soot on the dining room rug alone. Others would be disturbed or disgusted. I was on cloud nine. It was like taking on the dirty world and WINNING.
I spent Saturday testing out the cool attachments. I cleaned out the dust around the entertainment unit with the brush attachment. I used the extension handle on the couch. OH.MY.LORD.
If there is such a thing to a vacuum addiction, I have it.
Note: I was planning to purchase the Bissell. But, when I was scouting options at Bed Bath and Beyond, I saw Nancy. She was lighter and has similar technology to the Dyson. It also had all the pet hair attachments. And a five year warranty. The sweet sales associate also calmed my vacuum fears by telling me that if I don't like it, I can return it to them. They have a no-hassle return policy. Heaven.
And, with my 20% off coupon, I saved about $20. Totally worth it in my opinion. The honeymoon is definitely not over.
4 people have something to say:
I'm a new reader...well a couple months old. We got a new Bissell Pet hair Eraser a couple months ago...and i was IN.LOVE. I sounded like you! My friends would come over and I wanted to show off the vacum...at least I know I am not the only crazy in this world! Have fun cleaning!
Mom got me a new vacuum for Christmas a year ago. It has an easy pull-out vacuum hose feature. It's almost fun to use. It's amazing how little things can be so exciting.
Haha!! I love it!!! Happy Cleaning!!
You're not alone! We got a spiffy new vacuum last year and felt the same way. I thought I wanted a Dyson or the one for pet hair (who the heck keeps telling people that pugs don't shed much?!). We ended up with a nice Kenmore that rated high in the Consumer Reports. It has an Intelliclean function that shows a light scale of how much dirt is detected. If it's glowing red the second motor kicks in an until things calm down to the nice "all clean" green light. :-) We were obsessed when we got it...and a little disgusted that our house could be THAT dirty! lol. It was the first time in my life I was actually disappointed when someone else did the vacuuming!
