My NEW Vacuum Cleaner

A couple of days ago when Angus was vacuuming his bedroom my vacuum cleaner bit the dust! Angus was so apologetic thinking that it was something he did to make it die. Personally I think the vacuum cleaner went into shock just because it was in the boys bedroom and the carpet was finally getting cleaned!

Although Mark did pull it apart to see if he could fix it. I love my super handy man!! I wasn't too upset really that Mark was unable to fix it considering that I bought it when Angus was little. It was at least 10 years old maybe more. For it to have survived this family for so long was a good thing and it had served its time. It could go to vacuum cleaner heaven as far as I was concerned.

Yesterday when I took the boys to the Pet shop I also went hunting for a new vacuum. I was going to go to Hardly Normal Harvey Norman but I couldn't get a car park near it and to be honest I didn't feel like walking all that far. I ended up at Retravision and bought this nifty little Electrolux. It was one of the last things I really needed to purchase right before Christmas but when your vacuum dies you don't really want to not have a working one in the house. There was NO way I was going to sweep the carpets clean over Christmas!

Anyway, I bought this nifty little Super Cyclone! OMGosh what suction this thing has. I thought my other vacuum cleaner was good but it has NOTHING on this new one! It held on to that carpet like there was no tomorrow, even lifting it off the floor. I'm not the best at cleaning. In fact I get down right lazy at times. My home is not filthy or overly dirty its just lived in. However that being said I {heart} my new vacuum. It is so easy to manoeuvre and it has 5 settings from super quiet to turbo (well it just sounds that way) It even has an adjustable hose so that even Mark will be able to use it without it hurting his back.
I'm thinking we are going to have some pretty clean carpets in our future :D

**no this is not a paid post I just love how clean my carpet looks

Sounds delightful - I'm thinking a new vaccum might be in my future!

Sheila, if I had known that a new vacuum would make me want to clean I would've bought one a long time ago :)

I'm sorry you had to make a big purchase like that, but boy oh boy! I love an Electrolux!! They're the best! They almost make you want to change professions...from lazy man {or woman ^_^} to house cleaning dynamo!! We almost had to do the same thing a while back, but my MacGuyver husband fixed ours with a rubber band! LOL

Wow Poetess, a rubber band? Your hubby is a genius! I'm glad that you have your own MacGyver because he rocks!

When Mark pulled our old vacuum apart the motor was a sealed unit that he was unable to open & that's where the rattling & other weird noises was coming from.

I totally agree with you about the Electrolux turning you into someone who cleans more. Angus has vacuumed his bedroom twice since we got it.

OR.... it could be like a new car... getting washed the week after purchase and again a week before sale.

Just jealous.
