Bye Bye Hoover

We bought one of those Hoover stick vacuums several months ago off Amazon (when you live on a remote island in Alaska, a lot of stuff comes via Amazon). It broke after just a few uses. After an arduous warranty process we acquired a replacement. After just a few uses, you guessed it, it broke again. We were frustrated. Company was on the way and the floors were a mess. There was tension in the house. You know how those little things in life can turn you on your head sometimes. Amy made an off handed comment about just tossing the dang thing into the street. Well, it was going in the garbage anyway...

No more messing around with cheap vacuums. Thanks to Amazon (again) we got a screaming deal on a reconditioned Dyson.

What are you thinking?! Pull this post quick before Angie sees it. It will remind her that she wants a Dyson.

Sorry Wes. I'm not usually impressed by stuff like that, but the Dyson really is pretty sweet. Scotty has one too. May as well buy in and make it the sibling trifecta.

I don't have one.....I have 2

This is the one I want too. Been dreaming of one for like five years. I want the ball! I want my hoover windtunnel to die.

Try tossing it in the road.

Wesly Smith said...

Does this tossing in the road strategy work on TVs too?

Fullcurl said...

Tr it! At least you can get a blog post out of it.

Angie said...

Haha! Yes! Waiting for the 12+ yr old tv to die too. For a while there, I thought it was going to any day...
