How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Ready To Be #DysonClean ? ~ Giveaway ARV $599

in Lifestyle on 05/15/17

Ugh.  Does this sound familiar?  You’re expecting company in a an hour and the house is a disaster.  What you need to do is a quick “shuffle’.  Tidy the kitchen, wipe up the bathroom counters and give the floors a quick once over.  You run around, grabbing stray magazines and homework off the floor, get those dishes put away, finally get to the vacuum and FAILURE.  Why is the vacuum not SUCKING THIS TIME!  Every time with this vacuum it’s something different!  The bags full, the spinny thing won’t spin, it just won’t suck!  Why can’t I just plug in my vacuum and know it will work.

Enter the Dyson Big Ball Animal 2 into my life.

Every time I plug it in I know it will work!  Dog (or people) hair doesn’t slow it down.

It moves seamlessly from hardwood to rugs, and if the container that holds all that dirt fills up, I just press one button and empty it.  Easy Peasy.

Have you been a victim of vacuum frustration?  I want you to tell me all about it!  Take a moment to leave me a comment telling me your current frustration with your current vacuum and you could WIN your very own Dyson Ball Animal 2!

 

Yes you read that right!  This is your chance to WIN a Dyson Big Ball Animal 2.  ARV $599.99

      my mum needs one.
      She lost the charger for hers (not that the suction was ever good on it)

      I have 7 kids and a husband! I need a really good Vacuum! This would be it.

      My biggest frustration is that there is no where to attach (store) even one tool to the vacuum. Whenever I need it, I have to go looking for it. Most of the time, I can’t find it when I need it!

      So I have bought a new vacuum every 1 1/2 years now. Kind of silly on my part. All I can afford are the cheaper vacuums so this explains why this is happening. I now have a Dirt Devil vacuum. If you could hear this thing you would put ear plugs in. It is so loud. Honestly. I have to take the compressor and blow it out after every second use because it looser auction. Living with three boys, two dogs ( yellow lab and golden retriever ) and a cat, I need my vacuum to have suction . This Dyson would mean heaven for me on a cleaning note.

      I have a canister vacuum with a bag and the biggest issue is the bags wanting to explode! Not fun to clean up the vacuum and all the mess inside.

      My biggest issue is those nasty dirt trails my current vacuum leaves behind! I usually have to sweep the floor right after vacuuming. Its very frustrating and annoying because my bulky vacuum does not maneuver around the house easily making cleaning very difficult and tiresome.

      Biggest issue I have with my current Vacuum is that the Beater Bar just tosses the dirt around, instead of sucking it up! I have Carpet and Tile and it is no fun having to adjust the height all the time.
      Also, pet hair and the Collection Bin always clogging up.

      My biggest frustration with my vacuum is how it “spits” pieces of bebris out the back of the machine, at my feet. It’s ok on my area rugs (2) but not on my hardwood and ceramics. I have to sweep or swiffer the floor first and then pick it all up with the hose which is a pain and takes longer. I clean houses for a living (own a biz) the less stress on cleaning my own home the better.

      I have many pets and 4 kids my frustration is that our vacuums only last about 6 months bafore the smell of dog starts to take over the filtration system and it never goes away.

      My vacuum is over 10 years old . My frustration is that it doesn’t pick up as it used to, I hate changing bags and definitely don’t like how heavy it is

      I need this! Our dog has fine white hair (papillion) and it gets embedded in our living room rug. I get very frustrated cleaning it with our current vacuum, but it sounds like you have a great solution for me!

      I need a Dyson because all other vacuums don’t have the suction and are heavy and clunky #othervacuumsdontsuck

      My current vacuum is so heavy and I find it very difficult to turn!

      It is losing suction as it gets older and takes longer to do a decent job.
