Cleaning

I *HATE* cleaning but when you visit my home, I hope you never notice.  Just like the kids this time of year enjoy their new school supplies, a house needs some new cleaning supplies to get you excited again.  My 8 year old Dyson bit the dust, or rather, stopped sucking it up.  We'd tried servicing it ourselves by blowing it out with an air compressor among other things, and I gave up.  Back to the older cheap vacuums I went.  After a quick poll of my Facebook friends, I found the Shark brand to be very popular.



This bad boy has changed my life. I can't even begin to explain how much I enjoy vacuuming again. My friend bought it the same weekend that I did and we compare notes on how much we love it.  She has nicknamed hers "Robin" as it is her trusty sidekick.  I'm not sure I could go back to another vacuum.  And at a fraction of the cost of the Dyson, even if this lasts 2 years I feel like it's well worth the investment.

Here are some of the features that I love most.  First, it swivels to go anywhere.  The "navigation" aspect is its best feature.  I see where it got the name from!  Second, the suction is incredible.  After going over where I had just vaccumed with my old Dyson and my Miele light duty vacuum, this picked up even more dust, dog hair and glitter (Did I mention I have a dog and 2 elementary aged crafting kids?)...  It is so easy to dump the cup, rinse out the filters and maintenance is very simple.  One more thing, though I could honestly go on forever...the attachments are useful.  There aren't a million little things to lose, but it provides exactly what you need to do stairs, edges, main floors, curtains, etc.

I hope this helps you if your current vacuum isn't doing so well and you're looking for an inexpensive replacement!
