I never thought I could love a vacuum again
In my younger days, I cleaned houses for a living. I loved my Eureka upright and no one could tell me anything different. Hoover - forget it! The 200 pound Kirby - not a chance! My love for Eureka knew no bounds. I could even repair it myself, changing bags, or belts, no worries! Until one sad day, it broke and I couldn't fix it. Time to go to Amazon and see what is out there. First I went to Kohl's, Best Buy, Bed, Bath & Beyond, Costco, looking, taking notes, seeing prices, sizes, what options, what is good bad or ugly. I kind of liked the Shark. Came home, read all the reviews on Amazon (I am in love with Amazon and Prime, just saying.) Picked this one. Waited for it to arrive. Put it together, not hard, didn't even need help from hubby, Norman. Shazam! I vacuumed my house, up down, all over. Each room, I emptied the easy-to-remove basket of dirt and dog hair and took it to the trash. There is a satisfaction that is indescribable in dumping that puppy out. Like the hunter gather women of old, to feel accomplishment of "I DID IT!" I sucked that dirt from my carpet and wood floor in INCREDIBLE amounts and neatly disposed it in the trash can. Oh my. Empty it for each room. That way you can proudly say, "Hunny - in JUST your office - I got THIS MUCH!!" it's amazing. Then, for a thrill, after emptying the canister, for a fresh start - I put on the pet hair attachment and conquered the SOFA. Oh - My - goodness! JUST the sofa alone, with this amazing attachment, I sucked up enough cat hair to make two new cats!!! I can't tell you how truly satisfying that was. (Yes, gross to think I was sitting on that sofa every day!) Light weight to carry. Use the magic wand to do stairs. And the crevice tool for dead flies in the window sills. One suggestion, take the cord up and hold it in the same hand as you hold the handle, so it doesn’t wrap around your leg or furniture. Oh, and when using the wand, the body wants to fall over, just hold it. Magical. Thank you, Sally
