Dyson Vacume

I am not a cleaning freak. "Clean enough to healthy, dirty enough to be happy" is probably the most accurate philosophy. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats so the house stays clean for about 30 minutes after any given cleaning spree.



That being said, I love a clean house! No dust on anything, the carpets look good, the bathrooms are tidy - and heaven be praised - I can see the kitchen counters! We have a great vacume that filters through water. It also works as a hot water extractor and does a marvelous job. Unfortunalty, it's a pain to assemble, and totally gross to clean out when you're done. I found a great coupon for our local "warehouse shop" for a dyson vacume. I had heard about it and given the astronomical price tag, figured I'd never know from first hand experience. I mentioned it to my hubby, who truthfully does more cleaning than I do. He did some research online and agreed we should give it a try.



We brought the beast home, assembled it, and gave it a whirl. The only word to descrive the experience is "WOW!!!!" And truthfully, I'm not all that into vacumes, but this thing was incredible. It actually pulled the area rugs off the floor while cleaning them. We have tile floors and it was remarkable how clean they felt just from being vacumed. (It also got all the dust that settles into the grout.) The amount of hair, dirt, and sand collected in the bin (we live in FL) never fails to amaze me. We usually empty it twice for the entire house. The air actually feels better when we are done since the exhaust goes through a filter so it's not pumping dirt back into the air.



The extension house still frustrates me. I find it hard to get out of the holster but it's the first "wand" I've used that actually has the power to do a good job.

You should have seen the look on my husband's face when I told him I was posting a new blog about the vacume :) Priceless.
