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

      Gah the fact that it sucks (or lack there of) does not do the job quite well, it’s heavy and it smells lol

      It doesn’t really pick up as well as it should and it uses bags. Would love this one!!

      My current vacuum is heavy to push around and I wish it would do a better job at picking up all the cat hair.

      My frustration is that our current vacuum is literally falling apart. I keep having to tape things back together.

      My biggest frustration with my current vacuum is that it doesn’t suck up the dirt properly anymore. You have to go over the same spot about 5x to get it to pick up anything! We need a new vacuum!!

      Mine is very heavy.

      My vacuum is cumbersome and the suction isn’t all it should be.

      My biggest frustration with my current vacuum is that it is losing its suction, it does not pick up the dog hair and it is very noisy, should be expected -it is 10 years old.

      My biggest frustration with my current vacuum is that pieces seem to be breaking off of it, and its clear that I could use a new one!

      My current vacuum has lost it’s suction and it’s very frustrating as it makes cleaning harder

    11. Christine Murray says

      My biggest problem is it is too loud and it doesn’t have enough suction to get the carpets and floors completely clean. Thank you for the chance.

      my biggest problem is my current vacuum doesn’t seem to pickup hair off of area rugs

      May 15, 2017 at 1:31 pm

      My biggest frustration is my vacuum is as old as dirt and hate constantly plugging and unplugging to get the job done.

    14. Lucy says

      May 15, 2017 at 1:29 pm

      It doesn’t have enough suction power to it!

      I dont feel I can use it on anything BUT carpet – and my home is more than just that
