Over the weekend I borrowed a friend's
Dyson vacuum cleaner and WOW. I'm a believer. That thing is amazing. Those of you who have met our dog Zeke have probably come away with a few pieces of dog hair as a souvenir. Contrary to what we originally thought we were getting, we definitely have a dog who sheds A LOT. Unfortunately, our Hoover or Bissell middle-of-the-road vacuum cleaner is absolutely worthless for getting the hair off the carpet. We've had to purchase this
rubber carpet "rake" thing that works well but takes a really long time. I was lamenting about this situation to a friend who owns two huge dogs, and he told me that he bought a Dyson awhile ago and that it picks up everything. He encouraged me to borrow it, and after putting him off for a few weeks, I finally borrowed it yesterday.
I was so blown away by what that thing picked up that I had to take some photos:
Note: This is after vacuuming a very small area (i.e., 12' x 12')
I'm not sure whether the purchase of a Dyson is in the
budget right at this very moment, but I will definitely be acquiring one of these amazing machines at some point in the future.
I LOVE my dyson! They have them at Costco but I am not sure if they have the one that is specifically for pet hair. Ask for gift certs for Christmas to put towards the purchase, you won't regret it.
ReplyDeleteI guess I'm not crazy. Kim and I got a Dyson for a wedding present, and I love the thing. She gets so annoyed with me because I have to show everyone how good it works. Just ask Griffy, he fell victim to one of my "demonstrations." I tell everyone it isn't a vacuum. It's an essential power tool.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see things are going well for you guys. You have a very handsome family. Looks like Drew is going through the army stage. I think mine lasted about 5 years. I wonder where my old bomber jacket is?
Happy Holidays man. Keep in touch.
