Dyson Love

Our house has been covered in animal hair. We've been using a shop vac to clean. It works, but not great. Especially on the carpet. Despite sweeping the stairs constantly and doing our best to stay on top of it, our house was disgusting. You couldn't sit on the floor without getting covered.

Ken apparently had enough and told me yesterday that he was going to get a vacuum cleaner. Here's our conversation:

L: "Um, wait. I think I'd like to splurge on a Dyson"
K: "That's what I was planning on getting"
L: "Oh yea! They have one that works for animal hair"
K: "Really? Great!"

That was how we picked our vacuum cleaner. No huss, no fuss. He checked it out online and then went to a big box store that has 20% off coupons all the time. It was already 10% off, so we ended up getting a total of 30% off and no sales tax (thanks Oregon). We saved $100 which is nice since those suckers are so expensive.

And it worked like nothing I'd seen before. I've never seen the rugs so clean. The vacuum also has a SEVENTEEN foot long extension so you can keep the vacuum at the bottom of the stairs and still reach all the way up. And you can see the nasty dust and hair collect in the see-through container. Gross, but effective in that it makes you want to clean more often.

Which is good since we'll probably need to re-clean in about two days. I recommend their vacuums to anybody.
