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

      Our vacuum no longer has spin and so you have to drag it backwards along the carpet. It is a connection issue so fixing the belt will not help. It no longer picks up hair and it leaves our house dirty.

      My biggest frustration is that my vacuum doesn’t seem to have enough suction.

      Lack of suction.

      My vacuum isnt powerful anymore and way too old.

      Animal hair seems to be resistant to most vacuums, and mine isn’t up for the job, to get a thorough enough of an outcome as I’d like.

      I hate the hose. It is always getting caught on something or knocking things over.

      What is my biggest frustration with my current vacuum is that it doesn’t pick up hair well and I shed a lot!

      It doesn’t suck up everything because the cord was accidentally stepped on.

      My current vacuum is big and bulky and the suction hose has lost it’s suck so stairs are next to impossible now! I still use bags which are dirty and expensive! Thank you for the awesome review and giveaway! Good luck all!

      Basically dittoing everyone here when I say – the hair! My hair, the dogs hair all of the hair!

      Hair gets wrapped around and around the brush roller until I have to cut it off.

      My biggest frustration with my current vacuum is its weight and long hose. I also don’t like that it is hard to move it around especially on tight spaces.

    13. Piroska says

      May 17, 2017 at 5:37 pm

      My biggest frustration is that it doesn’t suck properly, especially all the dog hair. With 4 dogs, my vacuums get put through the wringer!

    14. Bernice says

      mine is that it broke and duct tape won’t fix it , its broken on the hose bending part , and it sucks , with a house full there is always crumbs and its easier to vacuum

      My current Vacuum doesn’t have a hose function. Also it is my partners’ vacuum and he has never had to deal with as much hair everywhere now that we live together. Please help 🙂
