I have published this before, but it has been quite a while ago...probably 10 yrs or longer. I had to hunt for something to post. Since fall is approaching I thought this fit. ******************
Ever since Karen at Life is Good got her cordless vacuum and liked it, I have been thinking about one. I finally did it. I got one...not just like hers but a Dyson. It came yesterday, and I LOVE it. I got mainly for the hardwood floors part of the downstairs, and also the study and the formal dining room. Both have carpet but have to vacuum around a lot of stuff. Not a lot of carpet area to vacuum.
I tell you it is a game changer for me. I love the thing. But, I did attempt to vacuum this living room...using the strongest vacuuming setting. The battery died right before I got done. But it is a really big living room so I am not too upset. I had did what amounted to all the other on one charge, and it did fine. I had wondered if the weight would bother me, it weighs almost 6 lb...but I think it is easier than the upright. And sure is easier to get into tighter spots.
I know it is early days, and I may change my mind. But it was quicker and easier to do it. With the other vacuum, I have to deal with moving the cord 3 times...and it is heavier to push. Though I will probably still use it on the living room.
