it sucks.
okay, my (early) birthday present from matt totally sucks. why? because he bought me a dyson ball vacuum! oh yeah baby! i haven't even used it yet because i wanted to read the manual. i know - lame. i just want to make sure i know what i'm doing before i turn it on...for the first time! hahaha! i still can't believe i own a dyson. i can't wait to see what this sucker picks up today. do any of you have a dyson?
tucker has been wanting me to vacuum ever since matt took it out of the box. :)
My dyson is my secret lover. Seriously.
My only advice-
clean out the filter occasionally, and then if your hubby has an air compressor (even if its a little one) have him clean out the dirt "compartment" occasionally as well. Even though these things suck like crazy, they can get backed up which is hard on the motor. Since they suck so well, you will just want to increase their life expectancy to forever!
Enjoy cleaning! I know I do!

I have the Dyson Animal. I love it! You will be surprised at how much the Dyson picks up everytime you vacuum. Happy vacuuming!

I got one a couple years ago, before the Ball came out...it is fabulous...my husband's agreement for spending that much on a vacuum was contingent on him never having to use it...deal! I love to vacuum now! I also got the hand-held version for Christmas...great for pets and toddler messes!

I am soooo jealous that you got a Dyson. I would love one! Isn't it funny what we get excited over as we get older?!
Have fun cleaning!!!!

Now this is one time when a suck-y birthday present is completely appropriate.
