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 current vacuum sometimes seems to spit out more than it takes in and I recently returned home to a family room covered in dust. I had asked hubby to vacuum and it seems that once again, the vacuum was clogged…he didn’t notice (shakes head). I’d love to win a vacuum we can rely on, one that is hubby friendly, easy to use and has the fabulous Dyson name on it! Thank you!

      My biggest frustration with my current vacuum is that I only have the one, and there are 3 levels in my house.

      My current vacuum is super bulky.

      My biggest frustration is how it SUCKS at picking up dog hair – and not in a good way! We will vacuum, think we’ve got it all, and then crawl around on the floor with the baby only to find dog hair ALL OVER our clothes!!

      We have a central vac but it was badly installed and does not suck, which sucks!

      My biggest frustration with my current vacuum is it doesn’t suck up the dirt that well.

      I wish I had another vacuum so I didn’t have to go up and down stairs with it.

      I have a central vac and I absolutely hate having to drag around that long hose. I find it so bulky.

      My biggest frustration is that I have to go over the carpet multiple times before it picks fuzz up.

      It has tape on the cord from when I ran over it.
