Little red Corvette?
Saturday Hubs brings me home a new toy – shiny metallic red with oh, so many special attachments. I wasn’t feeling well last that night so I didn’t get a good look at this marvel of modern technology. Really I was just ticked off at the Hubs for being a jerk about something, so I didn’t want to try out my new play thing. In fact, I basically ignored his thoughtful gesture. But yesterday, I got took it out for a spin.
Hubs couldn’t wait to show off all the special features. How it had both a detachable and telescoping handle, multi-tasking attachments, and he was epecially careful to point out how quiet it was. Quiet is good.
I have to admit, it is very sleek. Easily maneuverable, and the fancy extras can get into little cracks and crevasses that my old clunker could never reach. There are variable speeds, and other interesting options. It even has a light so I can use it in the dark.
I thought I would share… here are some pix of my new toy…
What did you think I was talking about?
wow…it’s breathtaking!! quite a looker. so, how does it work?
hope you’re having a great day, so far!!
I was just thinking as I was doing my chores this weekend that I need a new one of those so I want details … does it work as good as it was promised, is it heavy, etc. Even though its supposed to be one of her weekly chores, my pre-teen whines and won’t use the current one that was my birthday present/house warming gift (from my other half – don’t you love it?) a year and a half ago because it’s too heavy and really doesn’t do the job. Basically, I HATE IT but can’t say anything because my family looked so proud when they presented it to me. Any suggestions?? BTW, must be nice having such a thoughtful hubbie (HA) – give him my regards.
Mel: It really does work great. Has three hepa filters and a bag that I can just throw out instead of trying to clean a canister.
Dina: It is very lightweight… even WK got excited about it and cleaned the blades on our ceiling fan in the living room. It was worth it just for that.
It is sad though that I have reached an age that a new vacuum cleaner is a reason for celebration. Blah!
Oh how I need a new vacuum. Mine has been on its last legs for, oh say a year now.
I officially have vacuum envy. Is that sad? Yeah, I think I”m starting to border on frumpy. lol
Please tell me the gift was not his way of making up for being a jerk. Vacuum cleaners as peace offerings are not romantic at all.
But it is a nice one!
Groovy Mom: No, the vacuum was something he would have brought home anyway. I think he was actually in the process of gettng it, when we had the phone conversation where he was being the jerk.
Man, used to be a time where I would have shot my husband if he brought me home a new appliance. Now I have to beg!!
Why does a pic of a new vaccuum make me smile.. Oh yeah, because I am getting old and actually like things like this now..
It is beautiful T!! I wish you many long years together..
As vacuums go, yours is far out!
Scary how we can all relate to the excitement of this gift, isn’t it? I got my new one 2 Xmases ago. Still love it. *sigh*
it’s kinda sexy. but i like cleaning stuff, so am a deviant
It’s a beauty, Tara. I’m even a little jealous. Something like that could really get me in the mood.
To clean, you dirty birdies.
Awesome. When I was a little girl, my mom had a cannister vac that was (of course) much bulkier. I named it R2D2. Yeah, I was a dork…but it was right after the movie came out.
I added you to my blogroll….hope that’s ok!
Cheers.
Am I the only one who thought it was the only thing? Laughing so hard~
It’s the red that would have attracted me
As for vacuuming…that is my husband’s job 
Your post reminded me of an episode of Everybody Loves Raymond.

If you run out of things to vacuum, our house could use some help!
Okay, how dorky am I for drolling over your new vacuum cleaner.. hehe! It’s absolutely lovely!!!
Umm. Good thing you posted a pic. My mind went somewhere, er, more private
She’s a beaut!!
I remember when I got a new vacuum last year and how excited I was. It was the saddest thing when I realized how domestic I had become!
Wow!That’s one hot looking toy
I likey!
My DH is the vacuum connoisseur of the house. He is obsessed with vacumming – he would appreciate your new toy! I, on the other hand, am not sure how to even turn our vacuum on – he never lets me use it. I guess I am lucky that my DH is so vacuum obsessed! LOL
I’m jealous. My vaccum is forest green and not super shiny red like yours.
Boo.
So jealous it burns.
hey…you don’t have to share! make some noodles or chicken nuggets for the kids!
xoxo
you sooo got me tara!! and that is quite a long one
LOL… isn’t it sooooo sad that we get that excited about a new vacuum? AND I’m actually a little jealous?
Ooooooooo… That could pick up all kinds of Labrador hair in my house!!
