Have been using my very design PC K. Rashid Cone Dustbuster, but it just doesn't get under the couch. The power to vacumn surfaces with more than a bunnies breath would be welcome, to pull off the dusty veneer, long accustomed to its home would be a delight and thus to shed light on a new, brighter age.
Worth a try. thanks

We have an upright Kenmore - the cord on it split some time ago so my husband scraped the old rubber off and cut the wires and put an extension cord in its place (scared me initially, but it works...) It is super heavy to carry up and down the stairs and we have these really great and pretty old wide pine floor boards with 1/4" gaps between them so with three kids, we vacuum a lot (sweeping only pushed the crumbs into the gaps - whole bunch of silly stories about our floorboard gaps...) Anyway, I would be SO grateful to be the recipient in this giveaway since Dyson vacuums are, for us, expensive!
Anyway, how cool is this? AT is my favorite thing to look up other than my email online so with a giveaway it's like a good glass of wine presented with cheesecake.

NO ONE has more hair than my two giant rescued dogs (180 pounds total). And every color in the fur spectrum is represented, so you can see it on EVERYTHING. Each "harvest" with the broom nets about enough fur for some mittens--at least once a day.
