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

      I currently have a Dyson but my biggest frustration is moving it up and down the stairs since we live in a backsplit.

      I hate that I have to switch the attachment on my vacuum in the middle of my cleaning to do area rugs, tile and hardwood. It’s annoying and would be much quicker and efficient if I can do it all in one shot

      the bag seems to fill up too fast

      My biggest frustrating problem with my vacuum cleanser is I only own a shop Vac and it is super heavey

      It’s small so it fills up quickly, not cordless, i could go on

      My biggest problem with my vacuum is I do not have the suction it takes to pick up all the dog hair and my accessories for the vacuum are all missing so there is no way I can clean under anything or do the furniture really good

      My biggest problem with vacuuming is it takes me so long because mine isn’t powerful enough to suck up dog hair from my 80 pound golden doodle and 3 girls all with long hair. I have to go over the same spot so many times, I end up going on my knees to rub it with my hands and help it make its way up the vacuum. By the time I’m done my arms and neck are tender and sore. It turns out to be a big chore every time I vacuum.
      I wish I could post a picture here of my dog to show you all her hair.
      I’d love to win this. Thank you.

      My biggest frustration with my vacuum is that it is big and bulky. It is hard to maneuver and to lug up and down the stairs.

      I’ve got a pet that sheds a great deal and a wife who is desperate to own a Dyson.

      I could finally have a vacuum that truly “sucks” and win some points with the wife!!

      Please please please think of my sanity when making your draw!!

      My vacuum cleaner does not pick up all the dust. I have to go over the carpet a few times to get it looking clean. who knows how much hidden dirt there is!

      My vacuum is over 15 years old and it just doesn’t pick up everything so I have to go over the same spot a few times. Very time consuming!

      My biggest frustration with my current vacuum is that it does not pick all the dog in my house. I still have dog hair after vacuuming.

    13. Melinda Jana says

      May 15, 2017 at 7:02 pm

      it cannot handle all the fur that my dog sheds on a daily basis. I feel like it’s always clogged

      My biggest frustration with my vacuum is that it does not pick up pet hair very well.

    15. Shelley N says

      May 15, 2017 at 6:55 pm

      My current vacuum is an upright with very poor suction and the thing that drives me crazy is that when I use it on bare floors it spits the crumbs, small stones, and bits back at my feet and legs so it takes forever to clean the bare floors. I usually have to use the hose to avoid it.
