New vacuum

[Cami]

I got a new vacuum today and I just have to share in my joy. :lol: It's pathetic that I get so much happiness out of seeing my carpet all pretty and clean. :blush:

Btw, it's a Dyson, the sort of teal colored one. I got it on ebay for less than I paid for our piece of crap vacuum a year ago!

[Trish]

Ahhhh, I so want a Dyson! I'm jealous - I hate my freakin' vaccuum :complain:

Glad you have nice, pretty carpets, Cami :)

[Jayne]

I don't have a dyson but would love one. I bet it is so wonderful. I actually like to vacuum so a good vacuum is a must!

[AmyLynn]

I want one too!!! :tantrum:

[Shanna]

Oh - I *LOVE* my Dyson!! It's going on 4 years old and still sucks just as good as the day we brought it home :lol:

[Lyoshka]

Dysons rock!! We have had ours for over 2 years and it still works wonderfully :) you'll love it! COngrats, Cami!!!

[Nichole]

Ooooh, I have vacuum envy! I want a purty Dyson, too! :pant:

[gulp!]

You know you just gave Rudi a reason to buy another cheap Christmas tree. :lol2:

Congrats on the Dyson! I loooove mine. :)

[Brandi Jo]

Just what I wanted to hear! DH got a gift card to circuit city and I just ordered a Dyson! (Can't spend a gift card on bills, right...therefore...no guilt issues) I can't wait to go get it tonight!

Congrats on the vaccuum, Cami!

[Lyoshka]

Brandi Jo, that must have been some NICE gift card! :lol:

Welcome to the Dyson world Cami. I know you'll love it. I've had mine almost a year and it's the GREATEST!!! I had really high hopes for mine in that I would want to vacuum more.......ah, no.....doesn't make me want to vacuum more. :lol:

[Shanna]

John will actually vaccuum with the Dyson :lol: Of course, we have concrete floors in our house and only have a big rug to vacuum, but the hose attachment is nice :lol:

[Melissa]

I still love my dyson!!!! Shanna you are too funny!!!! I actually use attachments now with the easy hose detachment!

[Cami]

Dyson love fest. :lol: And I should point out, this is a used one but it seems to work great! Ok, maybe someone can help me.... it appears that part of the handle detaches to use on stairs and whatnot. I only know this because it was shipped detached and I somehow popped it onto the base to assemble it. But now I can't detach it. Is there a button that detaches it? Or did I attach it wrong and now it's stuck?

And I've already watched a demo on the dyson website to show how it works but I'm still stuck.

Did I break the freaking thing on day 1?

[Shanna]

squeeze the front part of the base of the handle, by where it connects into the bucket part (I dunno if that made any sense :lol: ) YOu should then be able to just pull up on the handle part and the hose attachment comes loose.

[Cami]

Ah, Shanna, thanks! Yes that made sense and it did work! I must have attached it wrong the first time. I sort of popped it straight in and I think it's supposed to slide down over the base. Thank you!!

[Shanna]

:aok: Good deal - glad to help :) I love that the vaccuum is easy enough even John can use it :giggle:

[Lyoshka]

Welcome to the Dyson world Cami. I know you'll love it. I've had mine almost a year and it's the GREATEST!!! I had really high hopes for mine in that I would want to vacuum more.......ah, no.....doesn't make me want to vacuum more. :lol: :nod: :lol2: My lazy nature was excited for a few days, but then went back to not wanting to clean...

[Brandi Jo]

Okay, I got my Dyson....can I just say I am disgusted with how filthy my carpets are?! I ran the old vaccuum and then went over it with the Dyson. ICK ICK and ICK! Who knew I lived in a pigsty (or a dog house!)

[Cami]

Brandi, that's what I thought too. There was so much dirty fuzzy stuff in our floors!

Oh and Stef, I'll cave on another cheapie Christmas tree if it's this easy to pick up the needles! :lol:
