So today I did some vacuuming. I put down some deodorizing powder to try and make the house smell a little bit fresher. As I was trying to vacuum it up, the old canister vac that we had just didn't seem to be doing a very good job. Yah, it was picking the stuff up, but you had to go back and forth over the carpet over and over again to get everything.
So when we were at Meijer getting some necessities, we decided to check the vacuum cleaners out. Cathy had one in mind...a Bissell model called the "Pet Hair Eraser." It's got good reviews and was in her Health Magazine as the best vacuum on the market for picking up pet hair. She said that it goes on sale quite a bit at Sears...but while were at Meijer they actually had it...AND it was on sale for 15% off!!!!
So we bought it and brought it home. Just to try it out, I decided to vacuum the TV room just to see if it would pick up anything else...and let me just say, that "picking up anything else" was an understatement. In the TV room almost alone I was able to fill the dirt bucket on the vacuum. It was really kind of disgusting to see how much stuff had been getting missed by the old vacuums.
The vacuum has some nifty attachments on it as well. It's got one that's got a rubber pad type thing on it that bends around things, and it actually has an attachment that is powered by the suction of the vacuum that allows you to vacuum furniture and such.
Overall, it seems like a really awesome vacuum. Also, since it's not a canister vac, we'll probably be more willing to get it out and use it!!!!
