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

      Over 10 years now, it’s so heavy because it’s a central vac, it does not suckered anymore especially my hair plus our dogs pet hair I needed one like this that I an easily use without the long cord and work well, n more bags and so powerful. I badly needed this.

      Lack of suction and the fact it’s over 25 years old…enough said!!!

      Hate that it doesn’t pick up all of the cat hair, it’s older and needs to be replaced.
      Thanks,
      Karen

      Our current vacuum’s hose has so many cracks in it that is is more duct tape than hose. 🙁

      Biggest frustration (two): changing the bag and having dust fly everywhere, and loss of suction with age of the vacuum. Need a better cleaning tool, ASAP!!!!

      My current vacuum is just not tough enough on the dirt and dog fur.

      My current vaccum is bulky and gets clogged

      My biggest frustration with my current vacuum is it doesn’t suck up all of the hair and debris from the carpets and floors.

      I hate that my vacuum has no more suction left! I’ve got a toddler and a dog so I definitely need a new one!

    10. Leigh Evans says

      May 26, 2017 at 6:52 pm

      It’s heavy and cumbersome. And only works on carpet, and not even very well!

    11. Lee-Ann says

      May 26, 2017 at 6:12 pm

      My current frustration is that my vacuum has a really short tool attachment hose.

      Oh my goodness! We are the house of hair!! Everyone has long hair and it is everywhere and it keeps getting wrapped around the beater brush on our Shark and then it kind of kills it a little bit more every time I vacuum. Sooooo frustrating! If I wanted to get all handsy with ALL the hair i’d just get on my hands and knees and pick it up myself! GAH! Isn’t this what a vacuum is for?!? Apparently not.

      *pant pant pant*

      Sorry you asked? 😂

      My current vacuum keeps getting hair wrapped around the spinning brush and I have to take it all apart and use nail scissors to snip the hair out and then tweezers to pull it out. Takes me like an hour each time, drives me crazy!

    14. SweetPanda says

      May 25, 2017 at 12:42 pm

      My current vacuum is really big, bulky and heavy. Also, I have to change the vacuum bag from time to time.

    15. Rebecca Roberts says

      May 24, 2017 at 10:29 pm

      My current vacuum gets easily clogged and doesn’t suck up the fur balls (and my own hairballs) at all!

    Woo hoo - another amazing HomeExchange! This week Woo hoo - another amazing HomeExchange! 
This week we felt all kinds of spoiled in our cozy accommodations in gorgeous Scottsdale. We hiked local trails, snuck in a little golf, drove with the top down, ate all the food, and enjoyed a sweet sunset in our own backyard. All because #Homeexchange provided us with a unique - almost free- way to stay in Arizona and see all the things! 

We had such an amazing time we’re already planning our next adventure!
