apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

January 9, 2008

I find myself, yet again, in the market for a small, powerful vacuum for our apartment. A few years back I purchased the Euro-Pro Shark, which was great until they stopped making the filters for our model. Total suck. Now the whole thing has become a disposable item. Insane. Now there's no way we're touching a Euro-Pro again.

The best vacuum I've ever used was a Dyson Ball, which is too big for our apartment, so we were super pleased when I found the Dyson Slim last weekend. The Slim is a thinner version of the Ball, with the same trademark powerful suction and NO BAG. It's perfect for putting away in a tight closet, and I appreciate that it's an upright, which means that I must be getting older...

I tried it last weekend and then promptly went online to buy one. They're expensive, but we found a few coupons which knocked down the price significantly. I pass all these along to you as they will save you almost $100. Enjoy.

Best, Maxwell
