Is it time to #bringhomeaDyson?

Antiques are appealing in furniture and jewellery, but not so much when it comes to vacuums.

Here’s my vacuum. It used to belong to my mother in law, then it belonged to the family cottage, then a few years ago, my DH decided to replace our old worn out vacum with it because “they don’t make them like that anymore!” Well, there’s a reason!

Our old clunker is heavy, the cord keeps randomly recoiling when I’m using it, often pulling the cord from the electrical outlet, it smells when in use, and the handle has broken off, making it almost impossible to move it from room to room, floor to floor.

Enough. I need a new vacuum. But my house is all hardwood – with a few area carpets, so while my main focus is keeping the hardwood clean, but I do want to be able to clean my carpets.

I recently tried the Dyson V6 Absolute at the National Women’s Home Show, and I fell in love. Is it crazy to love a vacuum? No I don’t think so. I am not neat freak, but I like my house to be clean. That means sweeping my hardwood floors, and trying to dust in corners, ceilings, and walls. But I wasn’t even thinking of how nice it would be to be able to vacuum my floors and stairs with a cordless.

I never imagined a cordless could have so much power or versatility. And it comes with a host of other capabilities including a cleaner head for carpets and a mini motorized tool for furniture. I never thought about vacuuming my mattresses, but it is light enough to do that as well. Plus, no more shopping for vacuum bags – oddly enough we can still purchase vacuum bags for our antique model, but what a pain when we run out, or have to change the bag – all the dust that escapes when I change the bag…

Anyway, I’m really considering this unit. I love the flexibility a cordless unit offers. And it is light enough that I won’t need to wait a week to drag out my heavy ancient canister. I know, really. I’m excited because finding ways to make my house work more efficient is a goal. And it’s light and flexible enough that my whole family can easily use it as well!

What kind of vacuum do you have?
