I am in love with three vacuum cleaners, and I have to make up my mind which one is the one I'll take to live with me. All three are wonderful, helpful, quiet, easy to be around. Which one will I choose to be the light in my cleaning cupboard?
My affairs started a month ago, when I was given three of the best vacuum cleaners to review. I was excited, I had seen their form in pictures, their vital statistics were thrilling, and I could hardly wait to be with each of them and experience their special kind of thrill. Little did I know that I would not be able to let go - I just had to have one.
They replayed an old Monkees song from my youth, the words were:
"Look out, here comes tomorrow, that's when I've got choose……..
I see all kinds of sorrow, Oh how I wish tomorrow will never come."
That's me and my three guys - tomorrow is coming and I have to choose.
My best friend just laughed, and said they all great, but only one is what you need. All three are too much even for you to handle!
My sister remarked that I'd always given her my good leftovers when we were young, could I do that again please, when I had chosen. Really no help at all either of them, we discussed the boys' attributes at length, yet neither would give me an opinion as to which should be the one.
I have a big furry family which include a dog and two cats, and the odd four-legged neighbors that seem to arrive at supper time or check for leftovers in the night. My husband and son don't shed, so they are not a worry.
My sister is allergic to cat hair, and is forever sneezing when she comes to visit. For the last month she has not sneezed once. What bliss not to punctuate every sentence with a 'bless you'.
My nocturnal visitors know exactly where the flap is and the kitchen has traces of fur in weird places, one took to sleeping on the sofa at night and left traces of long black fur that went with us everywhere.
The fur situation was becoming quite ridiculous, my old vacuum's exhaust blew out the front, so all it did was shuffle the stuff around. Please, I begged, we need a pet hair vacuum. I was at my wits end to find some way to control the little demon bits of fur floating in our home .. until my three loves arrived.
I am in a bidding war with my boys, as they jealously vyed for my attention. Even their names gave me butterflies.
Dyson, the only upright bagless vacuum cleaner, gave me a Warranty saying he'll stay for at least five years, and as he is bagless, I don't have to attend to those needs. All three are so maneuvrable, so easy to dance with and move with a flick of the wrist.
Miele, a top rated upright vacuum cleaner promptly said he would be with me for a minimum seven years, but not to worry about his bags because they were self-sealing and that's why my sister stopped sneezing. He could also go so low and get right under the furniture. So well engineered, he is a German boy and so well made. I love the accent, "Ve vill go to verk now bitte" Ahh Danke schön!
(I didn't correct him by saying, not true it is because you all have great suction and life time Hepa filters. None of you blow the dirt in front of you nor back at me.)
Sebo, probably the best upright vacuum cleaner, quietly handed me a 'I'll be with you at least five years' letter. He is also bagged, but again I would not have to attend to those needs too often. He, too, could flatten himself to get right under things. He is so automated, with lovely buttons to touch. Sigh .....
My husband was getting desperate, he said I must choose, this too and fro was getting to much. Obviously one had to live permanently with us - and besides he didn't like all the attention the boys were getting.
As he left for work he said quite firmly, "These affairs have got to stop - make a choice - I'll buy one for you so we can all live in peace again. Admittedly clean peace, but tomorrow is 'D' day."
On the phone to best friend and sister, who both said they would be round for morning coffee. Sister said I'll take one, and best friend promptly said I will definitely take the other.
So that should make my choice easier, shouldn't it. After all they both now have good homes to go to and my sister said I could visit him anytime, while my best friend said I could come over and take him for a spin whenever I missed him.
Oh well, I must just decide which one is staying: I'll show you their pictures (click on their bodies to go to Amazon and see them for yourself) and let you peek at my dilemma - please don't drool when you see my boys, computers don't like it much.
