Well that sucked

SmallTown

Football season!
Had the vacuum out and doing the floors, when suddenly I went to push forward and it just stopped moving. Then smoke started to pour out of the base. :yikes:
Quickly turn it off and unplug it, but by then my bedroom was already full of an electrical fire smell. Ughh. So to the dumpster goes the Hoover, and I set out to Target for a new one. The new vac fits better in my place anyways, it is maroon :biggrin:

Looked at getting a Dyson, but all they had was the Animal (which would actually be good for my place) but it only comes in a pastel purple color :ohwell:

I got the Dyson Animal. Works great! A little too great sometimes. It takes so much power that it flipped a circuit breaker once (granted, lots of other things were running on that circuit). It also has so much suction that area rugs can be a bit tricky to keep on the floor.

Oh, and the purple color hasn't turned me gay yet. I don't think it is fruitier than the yella, red, or green models. :shrug:

We had a Dyson (the purple one) on our wedding registry. Someone bought us a Hoover. :lmao: I love it though. And this crappy carpet doesn't deserve a Dyson.

That "sucked." Huh huh huh huh huh huh


:killingme A vacuum cleaner is the one thing we WANT to suck. *ahem*

A Dyson will take years off your carpet. It sucks it so good that it makes your old matted down carpet, fluffy again.

I don't have one, but my girlfrend does. She has 3 boys. I don't visit her that often. :whistle: Those boys are just bad.

Perhaps she should turn the Dyson on the 3 boys.

Now I understand why folks create MPDs...
