Vacuum

About a week ago I was about to vacuum (desperately needed). I started up the vacuum and out came a horrible sound, then horrible smell, then nothing. Ugh. Ryan and I sat at the computer, researched and found an affordable, highly rated vacuum at Kohl’s. And, lucky enough, we had 30% off and free shipping. Awesome…don’t even have to leave the house. Bought it…expected arrival June 4th. So yesterday when we got home, it had already arrived! One problem though…it had already been opened, then someone had taped it back up and shipped it…and it rattled. Sides were extremely dented. Ryan was convinced it had fallen off the truck somewhere along the line. As soon as dinner was done, we loaded it in the Nissan and headed to the Kohl’s by our house. They didn’t have one in their store, but the Southlake store did. Ryan had them call to make sure, then put it on hold for us. Carried the banged up one back out to the car, drove to Southlake, and carried it back in. Exchanged it for a perfectly rectangle box that had never been opened. Perfect! As soon as we got home, I got to work putting it together. It has some really cool attachments! Then I started to vacuum. One of the worst comments about it that it was loud and heavy. I don’t think whoever wrote that has ever used a vacuum because it was lighter and quieter than our old one…and even kinda propelled itself across the floor. When I was done, I even went over our couches, under the cushions, etc. Then I went and got Ryan out of the computer room. As he walked around, he turned and looked at me, and was like Dayna, the carpet even feels different…fluffier! Anywho, after it’s first use, we are big fans of the Eureka Boss vacuum cleaner. I’ll keep you posted as we use it more.
