Now I realize YAY doesn't ordinarily accompany the thought of vacuuming (unless you're Shawna ...wink..), but ours was lousy, and finally gave up the ghost a few weeks ago. The floors have been driving us CRAZY!

So today I bit the bullet, went to the store, and lo and behold- SALES! YAY! I promised myself I wouldn't spend more than a hundred dollars. I got a pretty blue Dirt Devil bagless breeze vac for a little over 60 dollars! I ALSO bought a small rechargeable handvac on clearance for 20 dollars, and guess what it's called? A SHARKVAC. I told Rob we're gonna call it Amy. :-)

So, I'm a happy camper. My floors look good, Rob wasn't mad, and I got to shop!

Hugs,

Mel

Lol,good for you Mel =) I personally like my bagless vacuum.We've gone through the bagged ones like crazy and I finally had enough...never could find the right bags after buying the darned things and they never picked up like my bagless does.So Yay for you!!!

I've always wanted to see a vacuum store somewhere called It Sucks.

Thanks, Mel ! That cracked me up something fierce! Not going to make a comment on the suction power or the words 'hand held'....Might get GothRatty all riled up! ROFL!!!

Hope I suck real good, and never let you down.

OMG, I just got a new vacuum yesterday too LOL. Johns parents gave us some old one and when I tried to use it the power kept going out on it so I got a new Bissel Cleanview Power Trak Bagless (thats a mouthfull) and then today I broke down and finally bought a steam cleaner too. It really is sad that we all get so excited about vacuums. I guess it must be the female equivalent to power tools :) ???

I'll be getting a shampooer in the next few weeks- I'll probably have to take a pill to calm down after that one!

Rob got a lawn mower for his bday and I'm not allowed to touch it...you're right, Susan- it's like an estrogenated power tool. After he inspected my vacuum (as if I couldn't assemble it properly! HA! I READ the directions!) he declared it a good buy and I doubt he'll even remember we have one til the first time he dumps an ash tray.
