    Oh my sucking goodness!

    I just realised how utterly crappy my old vacuum cleaner was.
    My new one sucks so hard, I got a work out pushing it over the carpet.
    My floors are clean

    And with a good vacuum surely you can vacuum less often as it does such a good job?

    I had such fun with my new vac, doing a room, emptying the dust collector to see what it had picked up! Wore off pretty quickly that though

    Sucks to be you hey?!

    I am so jealous. If it ever wants to come East for a holiday, my carpet will oblige.

    GO THE STEAM MOP TOO! I feel like a new woman since my steam mop, it's easier than vacuuming!

    And can I just say you inspired me to google servicing my dyson... and I found I can do it myself

    And I'm soooo excited... I know people who've replaced their dyson for the suction issue... yet you can fix it yourself LOL

    LOL

    I'm liberated... that's why I refuse to take it to get service by an electrician when I can purchase a T15 Torx screwdriver and do it myself... and not ask my husband to do it

    lol! Areas in my house get done as the need arises.. It's more as in when I get cranky with the quantity of grit sticking to my feet!

    I agree Rouge.

    Ive always said, the secret to sexual equality lies in self adjustable suction.

    Behind every great woman is a really powerful vacuum sucker, preferably with a turbo head. (I think Germaine Greer said that last one.)

    Totally jealous.
    I avoid vaccuuming like the plague. Mine is a cheapie from kmart and is well and truly stuffed.
    DH too much of a scrooge to let me buy a good one!
