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 biggest frustration is how big and heavy it is. Its probably 15 years old and is massive. It has lost almost all of its suction and it really heard to get corners and under stuff real good bc of the size of it. This would make my life so much easier. Thanks for the fun giveaway

      My biggest frustration is the poor suction and lack of mobility of the vacuum.

      My biggest frustration is that it is a pain to carry around the house with all the attachments. It does not have enough suction to do the jov.

      OK where do I start? lol My biggest frustration is our vacuum is over 20 years old and it worked fine until the kids broke the handle and duck tape over that and now we cannot get any bags for it anymore..no longer available 🙁 so now we empty the bag so we can use again ..it doesn’t suck up like it used to many many years ago .Now we need to face it a new vacuum is in need here … pretty sad when the kids wont even vacuum anymore they hate that thing like you have no idea ..our kids help with a lot of cleaning at home but they all fight who will vacuum and it ends up being mom with that thing…we would surely welcome this beauty to our family and I would be excited to be an owner of a Dyson and my family will fight to use this guaranteed ..thanks for the chance ..your blog and love for this vacuum explains it all …ty for such a great chance I think I would faint if chosen muaaaaaaaaa

      My biggest frustration with my current vacuum is the hose, it’s too short to reach my tall ceiling corners and there are no good stair/couch attachments to use.

      My vacuum is ancient and starting to fail, please save me, need a new one! Thanks for the chance, love your blog!

      My biggest frustration with my vacuum is that is sucks because its DOES NOT suck! Its a central system and I think its clogged somewhere in the internal piping and I need to have it thoroughly cleaned, plus the rotars are completely shot.

      My biggest frustration is that the Vacuum cannot hold the amount of dust and dirt that we pick up with all the rooms that we clean. We have to empty the vacuum continuously after cleaning and would rather be able to just vacuum and keep going. it’s unfortunately because of all the dog hair and also the gas that we have staying with us. It would be nice to have a vacuum that cleans quickly easily and is light.

      It is heavy. It is difficult to carry up and down stairs.

      My issue is. It doesn’t seem to suck good enough to pick everything up.

      It just doesn’t pick up anything, and I spend several hundred. It will only last the most is two years.

      Our old Dyson is starting to wear out. It’s 10 years old and it’s time for an upgrade
