I thought you were going to say “divorce”. Shows where my head’s at Confused

Though my husband is sucking the absolute life outta me so not that different an answer really.

Link please OP! I’m on the prowl for a new hoover!

boobirdblue · 29/05/2019 13:46

I hear you and I agree with you. 🦈 hoover

Vacuum a patch of carpet with your old vacuum, then go back over it with the shark and just see how much the shark picks up! It's amazing!!

4cheekymonkey · 29/05/2019 13:51

Shark lift away!! Even one of my kids said after watching the hoover fill up- "this is so satifying" Grin

I have 2 dysons. 1 cordless and one old corded! They will be going in the bin!

Did you get cordless OP ? I like the look of the lift away but have plenty of plugs not sure it’s worth an extra £150

HoneyBee03 · 29/05/2019 13:57

Yes! My Shark Hoover is absolutely wonderful. I had to empty it three times on the first use despite hoovering with my old hoover only two days before. It picks up everything! And I love how easy it is to clean the brushes and empty.

Firecarrier · 29/05/2019 13:59

I have the lift away. It is excellent It never ceases to amaze me the dust it pulls out. I've had it about 3 years and it is only item I would actually recommend.

4cheekymonkey · 29/05/2019 13:59

I haven't done enough research on the cordless but after how short battery life my Dyson cordless has, I went straight for corded one. Also not sure on the suction power on the cordless vs corded

I was going to get one of these - then my DH went and fixed the old dyson Sad

Springisallaround · 29/05/2019 14:01

Why is it so good? Now I want one...

Smolo · 29/05/2019 14:02

I love my Shark lift away (with the pet tool too) I've had Dysons since they first came out but will not go back to me now.

Smolo · 29/05/2019 14:02

*back to ONE

thefirstmrsdewinter · 29/05/2019 14:03

Ooh, watching thread with interest.

My dh had a Dyson and although I expected it to provide a peak hoover experience not only did I find it fiddly to empty, I always seemed to scratch, pinch or bruise myself on the attachments. Couldn't wait to get rid.

I quite like our Henry though I find it awkward to get the suction right when switching from hard flooring to rugs. Dh bought and uses a Neato robovac but I think it's useless.

Well sorry to say that I thought you were going to say..'after extremely elderly, completely dependent, surviving but not living, relative, passes away.' Blush Shows where my head's at too!

Why? Confused

WifOfBif · 29/05/2019 14:09

I completely understand how you’re feeling.

I love my Shark. I wouldn’t have anything else.

pepperpot99 · 29/05/2019 14:11

I like a bit of vacuum porn Grin. I currently have some kind of cordless thingie in the garage my DB gave me, plus two Mieles, one for upstairs one for down. My best ever present to myself was a parquet floor vacuum attachment which means I can glide my miele across my wooden floors and watch the dust being sucked up with no scratching. Honestly it is like being in heaven Grin.

4cheekymonkey · 29/05/2019 14:16

Zoobedoo because they are absolutely rubbish compare to the shark!

4cheekymonkey I think they mean why throw them instead of giving them away?
They could still be useful to someone.
