Oh man, you'd have a stroke if you saw my place. No insects or vermin (feral cats are wonderful for deterring the latter) but any given step could be your last. I do find that it helps with keeping my "balance recovery" algos sharp and frosty.

Then squirt a little Raid into the air and slurp that up with the vacuum. Alternatively, just watch it bounce around inside the transparent dust trap for a few days.

More seriously tho, WTF is that? A Japanese killer hornet?

Ha. Well I was not always the neatest or cleanest but had my cleaning moments. Now I just like it quite neat and uncluttered all the time. It really has improved my mood dramatically when getting home or being at home. It puts an instant bump in mood at all times. Plus I don't have to do much on the occasion a female companion comes over. Which needs to start happening more often.

Oh shit. I definitely remember that. I want to see it again tho.

MIB (men in black) came out the following year and I'd bet some cash money that's where they got the idea for the interstellar roaches.

That's practically what I was doing when I vacuumed up all the spiders and egg sacs lol, any time I planned to stop the vacuum I'd spray a little raid in there first.

What make and model do you have?
I got this on sale for $105. It's $140 now with the coupon. Quite happy. The normal setting is good for most jobs. I do put it on turbo sometimes. Even fully on turbo, 20 min is enough to do my whole 725sq ft 2br.

Of course I wanted a shark or Dyson but did not want to spend that much. My place is all hardwood and tile plus a couple dog beds. But reviews say it does well on most carpet. As you see in my photo it comes with a charging wall mount

I like the "headlight" feature .... comes in really handy in dark corners!

Crazy how expensive Dyson's have gotten these days! (although Shark still has some great sales) When I got my Dyson roughly 10 years ago it cost me around half what they go for now!
