And I mean "I suck" in the best way possible. How is that good, exactly?
Well, yesterday, our old vacuum gave up the ghost. The poor thing is about 10 years old, and it just wasn't working any more at all. Let me add that I am really not at all domestic, so the idea of finding a vacuum - and picking up the mess that the old one made as it died - really didn't make me jump for joy. Vacuuming - yuck!
But one thing my non-domestic little heart has always wanted is a Dyson. These vacuums are supposed to remove a ton fo allergens and are supposedly great on pet hair. Since we have four cats and a dog... that always seemed pretty good to me.
Well. Lo and behold, Sears had a sale. This weekend. On Dysons.
So now, you're reading about the proud owner of a brand-new Dyson DC-14. The best testimonial I could give? I actually went around LOOKING for things to vacuum. I did my whole downstairs (laminate floor and ceramic tile), then went upstairs and tackled the carpets. I have to admit I was pretty grossed out by the seven or so canisters full of ick that it picked up, but WOW - my floors look better than they have since we moved in, pretty much.
I have to say, most of this post is NOT York County-centric other than that it's about me. That said, I do have a note for those of you who live locally. I want to say especially that the customer service I got at Sears was great; the woman who helped me was named Noel and she gave me her direct number to call back in case I had any questions. She walked us through how to use all the features, and most importantly, she DIDN'T try to talk us into the most expensive model. That, to me, is good customer service, and I would definitely say that you don't find that everywhere. That's what I like so much about York County!
