Way OT... vacuum cleaners

[jeannierides]

There are many different reasons to buy a device- but this is my favorite thus far!

I would have to agree, but since that isn't an option in my house (I live alone!), I have to count on being able to use it myself!

I don't think, at this time, I'm willing to spend in excess of $400 on a vacuum! A canister seems to be the ticket, now to just figure out which one! I have no pets (other than my grand-cat, Junior, who visits sometimes), just the carpet and stairs.

The best thing about the Dyson is that DH thinks the engineering is soooo nifty and has soooo many well thought out details, that HE is doing the vacuuming!!!

Yep, I had the same thing happen. Of course there are now all these rules about when it needs to be cleaned, the proper way to use it, etc., so I mostly stay out of the vacuuming.

But if I had stairs and did not have 42 pets and a pile of dust in my basement, I would buy a Kenmore canister. And I never trust Consumer Reports anymore, I'm sorry to say.
