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 vacuums not sucking up all the cat hair! It’s spring and they’re shedding.

      Well my vacuum is two years older than I am. It barely has any suction left. They don’t sell the bags anymore so I have to empty it myself. And the cord is tangled beyond repair.

      My biggest frustration is that sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. It can get really aggravating at times.

      My biggest frustration is it doesn’t move a around very well! It’s big and clunky and awkward.

      My biggest frustration with my vacuum is the suction which it really lacks. It just does not get my floors clean.

      My biggest problem with my current vacuum is it doesn’t vacuum everything off the floor. After vacuuming, I still end up stepping on crumbs my kid left around.

      My current vacuum leaves fuzz on carpets. Boo

      My biggest frustration right now is that our vacuum doesn’t do a good job with vacuuming up hair!

      I have a dog that sheds in black and white. No surface is safe!

      My biggest frustration is that my current vacuum does not have enough suction powwer

      I need a new vacuum as I’m just using a crappy one that has ZERO suction power. That defeats the purpose of a vacuum!
