Yippee!
My old vacuum cleaner was a whole different story -- I think I could have gotten more suction if I'd put the hose in my mouth and sucked. An hour of vacuuming, and it still looked as though I never vacuumed at all. The only way to make any real difference was to use a scrub brush to "brush" the carpeting, and then vacuum and hope it got the dust. Go ahead -- ask me how often I did that?
The new Dyson? Whole 'nother story -- I am always skeptical, but it actually lives up to its hype. Not only can you *really* tell that I've vacuumed, but if I vacuum the same area the next day, it's getting even more out of the carpet -- dust and cat hair that's been there for years, thanks to the old vacuum. My carpeting looks better -- still needs to be replaced, but looks so much better than it did.
And, I must say, it improved my mood.
That's over now, by the way. I'm now pretty profoundly depressed. But at least I'm depressed with a great vacuum cleaner.

I laughed so hard when I read your post, I have tears in my eyes. You might be depressed but at least you can sweep! How much are those suckers? I am still laughing, thanks, great post.
YOu could give yourself a big hickey like we (or some of us did) in middle school who pretended to have a boyfriend. Haha!

I always wondered if I was the only one who had that problem. None of my vacuums seem to suck enough!

I wish mine did.
My Dyson stands around because it needs a service. All those little holes get filled up with lint and dust and the humidity makes it into a kind of goo that I can't remove, not that I have tried very hard. Moreover, I cannot change the bottom filter. I don't know how to get it out. So I thought (4 months ago) that I would get it serviced, and I still think the same. Meanwhile I am using a different vacuum cleaner. And I'm not even depressed. How do people do stuff? Oh, I know, they're not lazy and supercilious, not that I lack self-esteem or anything. Time to go.

Don't vacuum much as back pain and running around on the wierd schedule we keep up late bed late. Phillipa mine doesn't suck well either oh well. As a lady when I was young told me one when your're dead the dirt will still be there. Made sense so clean a lot less. Phillipa

LOL, I so get it. I'm still fascinated by and even dare I say uplifted when I see how much more my Bissel sucks compared to my old Hoover. Sucks is MBP good!

After many fruitless months of procrastination, I am driving my Dyson to the nearest capital city for a service.
Maybe I could strap it in with the front seat belt and it could wear a beanie and sunglasses?
You know anything about Bill Hicks?
They have his sayings on the station website. Things like
'Your denial is beneath you, and thanks to my intensive intake of hallucinogens, I can see through you'.
