I'm In Love Again!

I think I'm in love again! Really!

Last weekend, my trusty old Hoover Wind Tunnel vacuum literally fell apart. Despite Frank's best attempts, he could not getting working again - especially after he kicked it down the stairs and out into the garage, yelling obscenities along the way. I really liked that Hoover - it was lighweight, it seemed to do a good job & it was inexpensive (under $100).

Anyway, after a lot of research, and talking to some friends & coworkers - I decided on the Bissell Lift Off Revolution Turbo upright vacuum cleaner. The big dilemma was where exactly to buy the vacuum from. I went to several stores & either they were out or no one seemed to want to wait on me. In fact, I stood in the vacuum section at Sears waiting for 15 minutes for someone to offer to help me - they had the vacuum in stock, it's just that the box was too heavy for me to carry to my SUV by myself. So, after 15 mintues of waiting, some jack-ass male employee approached me and said in a real shitty tone - "do you need anything?". I almost said "No - I'm fucking standing here for my health dumbass", but being the nice, considerate (i.e. chickenshit) person that I am, I said "No actually I don't need anything, I've waited 15 minutes for someone to come over, and I'm on my way out"....I think it was more his tone of voice, than anything. Sorry that I was such an inconvenience, shithead!

I left Sears, and went straight to Kohl's. Luckily they have shopping carts there (otherwise I would have had to hurt someone), and I was able to load up the vacuum cleaner myself into the car and the cashier there, was actually nice to me!

After I got home, I was very eager to use the vacuum & in fact I vacuumed my entire house, Let me tell you - this vacuum rocks! It sucked up so much animal hair, dirt & dust, that it was unbelievable. It almost makes me think that maybe my Hoover wasn't as good as what I thought it was! The vacuum is very powerful suction & is very easy to use. It required very little assembly out of the box - all I did was attach the handle, attach the tools & I was ready to go. Althought it was a bit more expensive (around $160 on sale), it's well worth the extra $ spent, at least for now.
