Love hate relationship with my Dyson

I love how much it picks up.  I hate seeing it though.

I vacuumed under the furniture for the first time in a long time and ick, ick, ick.  Sadly all I could think was "I wonder what would get picked up in EmilyKate's house?"

I shudder to think of what a Dyson would p/u at EK's house.  They could probably use it as a testing ground.  See how far they can push the machine until it breaks.  Supposedly they're able to suck up any mess...That would definitely push its limits.  LOL

Oh, I'm fascinated by how quickly the canister fills up.  I love my Dyson.  But I will say this - I hate the flarking extension pole thing for the attachments.  I want something I can hold in my hand.  Not a 3 foot pole w/the brush at the end that makes me stand way back.  IDK.  Just seems like it could be better engineered.  Esp. for the price.

When I think about the last 2 vacuums I had that weren't picking anything up really, I love seeing what my Dyson grabs.

And I agree about the wand deal, for reaching down between the dog crates it is great, but other times it just feels odd.

I just stick the attachments to the end of the tube and it works fine. I hate having to disassemble the entire goddamn thing every time I want to use the attachments though, which is why I don't vacuum my stairs nearly as often as I should.

Well, sure.  Of course you stick the attachments at the end of the tube.  I'm just saying the tube is awkwardly long and inconvenient for those tight, small places.  Like my vag.

I meant the end of the hose. They're both tubes I guess, so what I originally wrote wasn't clear at all. I leave the long handle/tube off and it's less awkward.

You can completely remove the hard pole (dirty) from the collapsible outer shell.  Then put the attachment right on the collapsible tube.  I like not having to hold the vacuum and vacuum the steps at the same time.

I had no idea you could do that.  Wow.  Guess I'm going to go home and play around with my tube tonight.
