Less time vacuuming means more time for blogging
It’s not so much that I don’t LIKE cleaning my house, although it certainly doesn’t rank as high as, say, watching a rerun of “Law and Order: SVU” or eating a pint of Ben & Jerry’s Chubby Hubby ice cream. I actually do get a degree of satisfaction from looking around and seeing a clean house, but it just takes SO MUCH ENERGY to get up off the couch where I do my blogging and, you know, CLEAN.
*sigh* First I have to pick everything up off the floor, and find a place to put it, which usually means balancing a stack of things on top of another stack of things because I am a hopeless piler-hello, my name is Elizabeth, and I can’t stop piling stuff up in higher and higher piles all over my house. Then, I have to drag my extremely heavy vacuum cleaner out from the coat closet, plug it in to a socket in the living room, vacuum, then unplug it, drag it to the playroom, plug it in again, vacuum that room, and repeat that two more times to do the two bedrooms with carpet. It’s just such a huge PAIN. What I really need is a CORDLESS vacuum!
Guess who is now making a cordless Accucharge Stick Vac and a Hand Vac that not only charges faster, but uses SEVENTY PERCENT less electricity AND has received Energy Star Approval? Watch this video to find out!
Of course, if I were to put a Dirt Devil Hand Vac in my kitchen to clean up crumbs around the table, it would mean my poor dog would lose his job as the official spilled food cleaner-upper. Because it’s so much easier to just call the dog than to expend energy leaning over to wipe up spilled food with a napkin! But, I think the dog would get over it, and I would sure LOVE a cordless Stick Vac that I could easily move from room to room. I bet my daughter would love to use the Hand Vac, too. Because the BEST way to use LESS energy while cleaning?
Get SOMEONE ELSE TO DO IT.

-grins- I so agree. I love the feeling of a clean home, knowing I did it.. don’t love the cleaning so much. Anything that makes that easier is a-okay in my book!

Hey, that seems like a cool vacuum. The one I have now was new as of last Christmas, yet hasn’t ever worked quite properly. The main head spits things back out, which means I have to use the wand for EVERYTHING. Ugh.

Liz-I know what you mean! The roller brush on my vacuum barely picks up anything, so I swear there are times when I’m on the floor vacuuming with just the hose attachment. It takes forever!

I’m already using one. Cordless Accucharge Stick Vac and a Hand Vac are really nice and I love it.

I am loving the cordless. That is probably the most annoying thing of life. Vacuuming one room then having to walk back across the room unplug the vacuum, then walk back to the vacuum just to roll it to another room…I could just be lazy!
