Some men daydream of cars. I oggle vacuum cleaners. Anytime I stop by an appliance or electronic store, I tend to gravitate toward the cleaning appliance aisle to carefully eye the selection of robotic Roombas, inspect the newest testesterone-induced design from Dyson, or daydream of purchasing a Miele-made luxe instrument of cleaning. Unfortunately the true apple of my eye is a foreign born beauty unavailable stateside: the Electrolux Escargot.
Sigh…one day we’ll be together, my little snail shaped vacuum. One day.
Embrace your inner Felix Unger.
This may be a bit of a non sequitor, but last year I had a major flea infestation at my house. One of the tricks I learned about was to cut a strip of a new flea collar (several inches long) and put it in the new vacuum cleaner bag before vacuuming. This stops the evil fleas in their tracks inside the bag. You also have to change the bags regularly, duh. It really helped, in addition to the requisite baths and dips of course. Voila!
Missy, that's a great tip for those of us with pets. Our own feline famil members, Eames and Eero, are limited to short attended exploration outside, but they've come back with a flea or two in the past. This sounds like an effective way to combine cleaning with eradication. I like it!
i cant read the site how much do the vacs cost?
