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!

        As well my frustration with my current vacuum is that it doesn’t sick up anything all that well. I’ve had a few different ones and the same issue. You pay for what you get I guess.

      I go through vacuums way too fast. It seems that most are just not able to keep up with my household. I’m lucky if a vacuum lasts me 6 months before it loses it’s suction. Between the filth my family tracks in and the fur my 2 dogs lose it’s a losing battle. I’d love to have a vacuum cleaner that still works well after 6 months and Dyson sounds like the one for me!

      I hate how my current vACUMN does not do the job

      I hate how it takes more then one pass with the vacuum to pick up everything

      my biggest frustration with my current vacuum is the hair accumulation. My hair sheds a lot and even though i sweep and or swiffer prior to vacuuming it just doesn’t seem to be enough and the hair constantly gets trapped in the vacuum head rolling whee which is very difficult to clean and also makes the vacuum suction very poorly. I find i use my vacuum much less now for that reason and i wish that it would perform better for me.

      My biggest problem with my current vacuum is that it is old, smelly, uses bags and is sooooo heavy.All of these things rolled into one makes it one very big problem! I’m not a spring chicken anymore more and lugging this thing around though all my carpeted rooms is a pain not a work out! I’d rather walk my rescued dog for exercise! Thanks for the chance to win and make cleaning a little easier and more pleasant!

      It’s super loud and you have to pass several times cause it doesnt pick up everything

      Dog hair is always our frustration with any vacuum so far. They just can’t handle what our dogs shed.

      My vacuum is heavy and doesn’t suck very well anymore
