To want an upstairs and a downstairs hoover?

[MogTheForgetfulCat]

I'm not going to, obviously - have better things to spend £200 on than an upstairs Dyson (I do like a Dyson...), like food shopping, bills and shoes for the growing DCs.

But AIBU to want an upstairs hoover, rather than having to lug ours upstairs? Have half convinced myself that if I had one, I would do more cleaning. Bus suspect this is untrue.

Can I point out, in my defence, that I am 37 weeks pregnant, and therefore experiencing slightly more difficulty getting the hoover upstairs than usual. Does that make me any less of a lazy cow ?

YANBU. If I had any carpet upstairs I would get one.

Break the downstairs one and replace with a little Dyson ball, it's light enough to carry up and down stairs and small enough to sit on a step without falling off.

But what about hoovering the stairs - which one would you use?

What tidy bush said! you have to hoover the stairs anyway so whats the point?

We have 2 cheap ones. We have 4 floors though so dh we don't fancy that with a hoover

My MIL has a Dyson upstairs and one downstairs. But she is 76

We've just had a double extension done and our house is much bigger now, with an extra bedroom etc upstairs I'm goiing to get a little hoover to keep upstairs!
Makes sense to me!

Have hand-held Dyson for the stairs, though . Oh God, have realised we are already a 2-hoover family and now suggesting third.

I'd like this in the same way that I'd like two washing machines. Never going to happen but I daydream about it

I have actually thought about a
this too but the same problem always comes up and that is (what Tidybush said)which one would you use for the stairs? So i decided not to bother and just have the one.

Got the idea from my Mum, who is 63 and badly arthritic (?sp). This doesn't get any better, does it...

go to tesco £17 hoover - not a dyson but would work and small and light like this one but instore!!!!

But PorkChopSter what's the benefit of 2 washing machines?

We have 2 (cheap ones), but four floors just like nymphadora! (snap!)

YABU. move into a bungalow.

I do. . . .
But upstairs one is old general one.
I have a knackered back, and OH works away most of week so it became a remember to ask and be bother to ask him to carry it up/ hoover upstairs/ remind him to bring it back down.

I think at one point the upstairs didn't get done for 5-6 months

BUT I do think YABVVVVR hoovering at all woman!!!
Sit down, make one of the other DC's do it or OH

two washing machines [bliss emoticon] and whilst your at it 2 x tumble dryers would be good!

I have 2, we bought a dyson and then claimed it had broken so mil bought us 1 for xmas - I then discovered that if I cleaned it it would work better - it is tempramental though as the cord is a tad dodgy............

Ooh, maybe I could justify a cheapy one. We have 3 floors...

alternatively a miele washing machine with a 19 minute cycle would be well cool!

with 3 floors a cheapy is just what you need! £20 ain't bad, it is semi justifiable!

My DH bought our hoover and therefore it is a very masculine hoover - imagine the sort of hoover that Sigourney Weaver would have used to clean the Nostromo - and so it weighs a bloody ton. It tends to stay upstairs until needed again as by the time I've lugged it up there and hoovered I don't have the energy to lift it!

Loving the hand-held Dyson idea but have no money to spare...think DH might get one for his birthday, though...

Friend of mine raves about Miele washing machines- what is it about them? I looked when we bought a new w/m last year, and ran in jibbering terror at the prices - could not imagine what is so good about them that they cost that much! Possibly a bit rich coming from someone who spent £250 on a blardy hoover.

3 hoovers seems like more trouble than its worth op!

I've thought about this too (but stopped myself) and also have a dyson for the stairs. I heard about a robot hoover thing that goes about your house when you go out. I would also really like 2 dishwashers.
