A few years ago, I used to own a big, bulky, and very heavy vacuum. I didn’t mind how heavy it was when we had a small single story home. After we moved to a two story, slightly larger home– vacuuming became a chore I always put off. Having multiple dogs and kids– vacuuming had to be done every day. If you have kids and pets, you know that it doesn’t take much for your house to become a sea of crumbs and dog fur.
I dreamed of upgrading to a different vacuum–but there’s just so many types and brands. Where does one begin? Especially nowadays, a vacuum, a good vacuum, isn’t cheap. You have to spend $400- $800 for a really good vacuum– one that can pick up all the dog fur and gold fish crackers. I saw an ad for the cordless Dyson V8–it was on sale. So I thought–why not! Worst case– I’d just return it if it’s not cut out to do the job.
Right out of the box, I instantly fell in love with the design. It was super light weight. But most importantly, it actually sucked! The only product that you can proudly say: this thing really sucks. The biggest hurdle for me was vacuuming the stairs. It was so easy with the cordless Dyson. I vacuumed more often. I enjoyed vacuuming. So after having the Dyson V8 for a couple of years. I saw the Dyson V10 was on sale. Having as many dogs as we do, we easily could use two vacuums. The down side of vacuuming so much, is the battery life. The older version lasted a good 20-30 minutes on the highest suction setting. The newer version had a longer battery life and was more powerful. You wouldn’t even believe how much easier cleaning is with a high quality vacuum. Do yourself a favor and buy a cordless Dyson vacuum. I loved it so much– I gifted one to family.
