I Bought a Dyson

Well, after about two years of wanting a Dyson vacuum and having it on my checklist of big purchases that I want to buy some day... I finally coaxed Chris into letting me get one. (Somehow that usually ends up happening :)!)

I have wanted one after hearing rave reviews from people I work with and people online. My vacuum was OK, but the filter has to be replaced like every time I use it. I am always manually picking the dust and hair out of the filter to make it last just a little longer.

I found a great deal online at Macy's because I guess they are discontinuing this Dyson model:

It is a DC 18 Dyson Slim. When I first started looking at them I wanted this model because it is smaller and compact so it is easier to store in our limited condo storage area's. It also has a lifetime WASHABLE filter so I don't have to worry about buying lots of filters and making them last just a little longer. I was way excited when I found the deal and kept telling Chris about it until he finally said, "I'll be mad if you don't get one!" So I ordered it. It came in 2 days! (Even though I just ordered it under "regular" shipping.)

I have never been so excited to vacuum in my life! It was easy to assemble and after we put it together, I vacuumed just my front room (about 300 square feet). And I PROMISE I had vacuumed just the week before, but I still got these results:

Little did I know that we had a 3rd cat living in our carpet this whole time! (Sorry if you are totally grossed out!) It picked up so much hair that I had no idea was trapped in my carpet! There was dirt, but it was mostly hair!

Needless to say... I love my purchase! Totally worth it.

(You know your getting old when you get THIS excited about a vacuum!!)
