So, I broke down and bought my wife a Dyson vacuum...

Every since we got together she bitches and whines about my Kirby G3 every time she uses it. It looks like the classic shiney metal Kirby vacuums of yesteryear, but has lots of attachments and micron filtration. Anyway, it's too heavy for my wife even though it's self propelled.

I just bought her a Dyson DC14 full kit (a bunch of attachments included) vacuum via Amazon and UPS is dropping it off tomorrow. I'm going to surprise her as I've always said they'd have to pry my Kirby from my cold dead hands. The Kirby cleans with pure horsepower and doesn't rely on all this cyclonic crap out these days. I use it as a blower in my garage it's so damned powerful.

Anyway, anyone else have a Dyson? Anything I should know to look out for?

Welcome to vacuuming bliss. Be prepared to be blown away by it's awesomeness. And look at it this way, she'll actually WANT to vacuum now and that is certainly win/win.
 
A Kirby is what, $1000-1500? And the Dyson is $500? :Q And my wife is happy with her $300 Kenmore... no complaints here. 😉
 
No, I have a Kirby and you'll have to pry it out of my cold dead hands! A couple months ago the impeller broke on me and I about gave up hope on it. But my dad being the resourceful type (and owner of a Kirby as well) offered to fix it. I figured what the heck, and let him go at it. $20 later I have a brand-spankin new Kirby. He polished the metal, cleaned up all the dust, replaced the impeller, greased up the transmission, and gave it back to me in pristine condition. Works a whole lot better too. My brother and his wife have a Dyson Animal, and while it's pretty, I doubt I'd buy one to replace my Kirby.
 
The Dyson is a good vac at least the ones I have messed with. Vacuum choice really depends on what you are vacuuming.

I went with this: http://www.amazon.com/Bissell-...Canister/dp/B0000638TI

At the time I had only mexican tile and a few throw rugs in a 500 sq ft apartment. It's great....cleans well, is lightweight and very quiet. It was really a re-branded Samsung as they were pulling out of the market. Paid $54.99 new for it (which was actually only $4.99 since I was given a $50 amazon GC).

In my house now which is almost 3x the size but still has tile except my office which is berber (will eventually be wood) it's still a great vac. It would suck on any type of plush carpet as it has no power head.

I can even vacuum my cats with it, they actually enjoy it.

The problem with Kirby, Rainbow, Filter Queen, et al is most have only one experience with a good vacuum.

They are all great machines, but at a very high price point. Almost all can be negotiated down dramatically if they know you are a serious buyer. I sold Filter Queens for 3 months. It worked great to detail my car at the time and I did a couple details with it for others. A good way to market them would be to do a low cost detail / house cleaning and at least make that as some coin and go for a sale of the unit on the side angle. The company didn't like that idea and I was out to make money not walk my ass around putting fliers on doors and doing demos for mostly ghetto rats looking for the freebies promised.

I have used actually used Kirbys and Rainbows (owned one from my parents). I didn't want any of them when offered to me and told them they'd do much better selling them, which they did.

Actually (I didn't see it though) some lady told me my Filter Queen was more than her's. I can't remember the exact words, but something about if she dropped that much cash on anything it had damn well make her cum using it.

I was pretty nervous being in her house alone with her.

My wife let a couple of you fuckers into our house on the promise of a free carpet cleaning. They wouldn't fucking leave after...took her like 2 hours to get those fuckers out of our house. I was ready to break out the firearms.

But then I realized I would get laid less....

It puts her in the perfect position to give head.
 
i dont even let my wife touch the vacuum. i think she purposely doesn't do a good job because she doesn't like to do it. so i just do it myself. i dont mind vacuuming, tho.

we only have a Eureka Altima but it does a fine job, especially with the pet hair from 2 cats and a dog. the pet hair attachment for furniture is really nice...sucks cat hair off the couch with ease.

And how much would anyone else care? Not much. 😛

Buy a Roomba + good webcam + Sybian. Everyone's happy.

Now theres an idea....

I would just be worried she would get too excited from the sybian and not get me off...

Or just forget about my dick in her mouth because the sybian has her distracted...

BTW NS1, whats the status on that swinging party thread? Any updates?
 
I bought my wife a sybian and she loves it. It didn't decrease the amount I got laid. It actually increased honestly.
