Let's talk vacuums

[catastrophe]

If you are re-carpeting anyway, I would strongly consider going carpet-less if that's an option. After owning hardwoods I've realized how much gross stuff just collects on the floor that you'd never even notice on carpets.

That is kind of why we want carpets.  I am being realistic about the time I can commit to cleaning.  I would rather not be confronted with that choice hourly.  We have a cleaning person that comes 2x a month and vacuuming is more of a once or twice weekly thing.

I ordered this today.  It was one of Best Buy's "Deals of the Day."

that is great price, I think I paid more for my first one one of these 8 years ago.  My biggest bitch is the crevice tool is stored in the bracket so you have to go take the whole stick off even tho you only want to use the wand & crevice tool.

I had to google "crevice tool" and was happy that it wasn't the same thing as the little detachable hand vacuum.  My biggest bitch before even getting it is that it's turquoise polka-dot'd but someone in the reviews took a picture of it that showed it wasn't quite as goofy as best buy's picture showed.

I want a polka dot vacuum now.

I can't even decide if polka dots go into the "pros" or "cons" column

[Trim]

Polka-dot'd was the only of the $150-level that were on sale for $80.  When I was looking to see if there were other options, I saw there was a camo one.

A camo vacuum. Wow. What a time to be alive

I bought this because my wife wanted a camo vacuum cleaner. So I bought it for her and she likes it.

Highly Recommended! This is an awesome vacuum. camouflage makes everything better!

camo vacuums would be very hard to find

Look at the 4th pic.  The "crevice tool" is attached to the stick and is in safety blaze orange, so that helps one find the whole unit and also casts doubt on skipper's bitch.

I noticed though when I was trying to figure out how to get the picture off their weird zoom-in site onto here that the features still listed the tool as being "in" the crevice.  Guess we'll crack this mystery tomorrow when I receive mine, or days/weeks later when I get around to opening it.

The house we are trying to purchase has a central vacuum system.  Anybody have experience with those?

I think my grandparents had one of those but like a ball or something got sucked up into it and it was never used again.

[star seed 7]

They suck in the bad way

[nicname]

I thought Kirby was the best vacuum.
