Mother Nature is stuck somewhere between fall and winter and this is not making my life any easier. I have never pretended to be a Domestic Goddess, but I do “try” and keep my house in order. With this ridiculous weather vacillating between cold and crisp, and wet and wild, there is all kinds of nonsense blowing through my front door. Dry dead leaves, caked on dirt, bugs? Was that a bug? The pets are shedding and the house, well quite frankly it’s suffering. This is why I was more than happy to give the Samsung Motion Sync Vacuum a whirl. I’m always on the lookout for fabulous shiny new appliances that will make my life easier, and get the household chores done a little faster.
I unboxed this little beauty and found it was quite simple to put together. True confession; I didn’t even have to read the instructions, a quick glance at the pictures told me all I needed to know. This for me was a victory worthy of a small cheer. I was up and had the brand new vacuum running in no time. Here’s what I found: This stylishly designed Motion Sync Vacuum had great mobility and even better suction. I live in a house with every kind of flooring imaginable. I found the Samsung Vacuum moved from my hardwood floor, to my plush area rugs, and back to ceramic tile with ease, and never lost suction. It picked up cat hair, elastics, crunchy leaves and all manners of dust bunnies without losing a beat. All of this with one of the longest cords of any vacuum I’ve ever tried. I loved being able to clean my entire top floor without having to unplug!
My favourite part of this little wonder machine?
This fully detachable hand held attachment! No hose required! All of the power of the vacuum without having to drag the entire weight of the full machine around.
The detachable component quickly and easily releases from the back of the vacuum so you can get at those baseboards, tight corners or cobwebs you just couldn’t reach before.
This Upright Vacuum offers superior reach and cleaning. How does it do it?
*Motion sync design: Allows for swift, stable and smooth motion.

So apparently vacuums have changed in the last 30 years (last time I needed one-hardwood floors) and I was totally unaware that there was a correct direction to go..life is sure interesting

Tip #5 “Vacuum in the right direction! …” Seems like common sense but often overlooked.
Joey B says
I never seem to remember the back of the dryer. And don’t forget the dryer lint trap. I vacuum that regularly.

Guess it is common sense, but I never though about tip 5. Vacuum in the right direction! (Did you know you should vacuum parallel to your baseboard instead of perpendicular to it in order to catch all the dust and dirt?) Now I will be doing this, thanks!
