    Default My wife bought a new vacuum cleaner...

    Just check out the name of this monster...

    A Dyson 23 Motorhead Animal

    Wow, doesn't that just sound like it would fit a heavy rock guitarist!

    I think I will play "Ace of Spades" through my Marshall, next time the wife is cleaning...

    I don't feel so guilty buying gear, since this monster vacuum machine costs more than my last two guitars did... but it sure works great this thing. No filter, and you can see where all the dirt collects, a container made out of transparent plastic. Going over the rug for a few minutes filled up that container in no time! What a dirty rug we musta had!

    I gotta say, I'm impressed. This thing cleans like there's no tomorrow.

    And the visuals - just look at this baby - it's like something from the movie Aliens!

    We have a Dyson, the regular one that was selling a couple few years ago. It has been a good machine. What happened to that iRobot one you bought last year or so?

    Dysons rock, I caught one on sale a few years back and it has kicked some serious dust bunny butt. Good deal!

    Ya, the iRobot is whining and crying about it, but they take turns. Little robot gets to go automatically since it can be programmed. Then big mama Dyson takes over for the serious dirt.

    Team work!

    Looks kinda scary to me...

    BTW, last week I was walking down the hall at school with a vacuum I had borrowed for my classroom rug, and the woman who does our after-school child care saw me and said, "Ooh, how exciting, a man with a vacuum!" I told her I was going to try it at home as soon as I got there....

    She then added, "I've NEVER seen my husband with one."

    Hey Robert, we have been thinking about the same, we have hardwood floors. Does it exhaust up or out the back blowing the crap (pet fur) you have not yet picked up all over the place?
    A proper gear review is needed. Thanks

    I have wood floors as well and have found a good old Shop Vac is the best! Not only is it cheap but you can use the back-blow as leaf-blower-of-sorts to blow all those dust-bunnies from under the furniture and then swap the hose and suck'em up. Shop vacs are awesome and cheap! Spend all that saved money on guitar stuff instead.

    I bet that thing plays guitar too.
    Better be careful. It'll start putting up gear demo videos and take over Dolphin Street.
    You can't take it back to the store either because it already bonded with it's "host".

    So are we going to show pics of a vacuum cleaners?

    How many people name their vacuum cleaners?

    What belts do you think are best on a vacuum cleaner?

    Has anyone done a mod on their vacuum cleaner?

    Where do you set your vacuum level (action) on average carpeting?


    Just some questions you would find on VACNET.NET
