This Sucks!

We have had the same vacuum cleaner since we were married, actually we received our old Hoover as a wedding gift.  The old bag cleaner has served us well, but the thing is now a hunk of junk. 

With that being said, The Lady had a birthday a few weeks ago and cashed in with a few gift cards.  For her birthday gift, she went out and purchased a Dyson vacuum cleaner.  I didn't know what to think of her purchase, did she agree with me that we desperately needed a new cleaner or was this some sort of comment as to my lack of quality housework recently?

Whatever the case my be, we now never have to wonder if the other will vacuum anytime soon.  The thing sucks incredible!  One of us is always wanting to dance around the house with the red Dyson.  We joke with one another sometimes by looking right at the other person and dropping crumbs, then stating, "It's Dyson time."  Of course this is a double edged sword, because in the same breath you can exclaim, "Wow, look at that amazing cyclone of sucking power!" and "Holy moly, that is a tornado of filth that we create!"

Sure the Dyson is pricey and we most likely would not drop that kind of money on a vacuum if there were not gift cards involved, but this thing is well worth the price.  I think you already get a handle on the sucking power, and it's handle is one of the coolest features.  It comes apart to turn into quite a nice cleaning tool with a really long hose.  We are very happy with the Dyson, however it is pretty disgusting to see all the stuff that the old Hoover wasn't taking care off.

On another note about The Lady's birthday, I will never know what to get her anymore.  I used to always fall back to the spa massage.  I would go buy her a gift card so she could go get someone else to rub on her.  Now that we have been in the area for a while, she has found a place that she can get a massage for a lot cheaper than what she was paying in the Chicago area.  So now it's nothing for her to schedule a massage on a regular Thursday, instead of it being my fall back, go to gift for those type of occassions.  Darn you cheap massage ladies!

We've got the Animal. You're right it sucks!

We have a 4-year-old Dyson, and it still sucks.

It's amazing, and kinda scary, how much dirt and cat hair this thing picks up, and I vacuum at least once a week.

Dyson.

you suck.

I've admired them from afar for years...

We're in the market for a new vacuum as well. I always talk myself out the Dyson, but maybe I should just suck it up, no pun intended, and buy one.

Oh yes, we have been having a relationship with our dyson animal for quite sometime. It is amazing and disgusting all at the same time when you realize what you have been living in.
You will get over the whole fighting to run the sweeper thing eventually...

We have a Dyson, and you're right, it's frightening. We don't have any animals, and yet we bought the animal hair Dyson because I shed like bald is coming back in style. Which it is.
