DH was hoovering (sorry vacuuming) upstairs and saw first hand how shite the Vax I had was. I was out shopping so he popped out and bought one of those roller ball dysons....

OMG!!!! how fab is it! I have CREAM carpets upstairs not a dull grey and my house actually feels bigger due to the lack of dust!

I VACUUMED a whole 3 bed house in half an hour.....!

OK, I'm calm,.......no sorry i LOVE IT!!!!!

no idea, its silver and dark red....compared to my old Vax it is the dogs danglies. Its for all floors as I have wood floors downstairs. If you had a dyson before i can imagine not being that impressed with it, but I vacummed on friday with the vax and then again on Monday with the new dyson, I filled the cylindar! Been living in dust for months!

i use the ball one and i hate having to pull the stick bit out at the end to get in corners and put it all back together again.. i find it really difficult getting anywhere close to corners of rooms etc.

I know exactly where you're coming from Meeely.

I'm still in love with my animal ball Dyson (or whatever it's called) more than a year on.

My old hoover was so useless I used to be covered in sweat with the sheer physical effort of "scrubbing" the carpets with it in a vain attempt to get it to actually suck anything up - and it used to take me ages to get nowhere as well !

The Dyson works and works quickly with minimal effort - what more can you want ?

I now have a big crush on Meeely's husband. It would take my DH about a decade to work up to buying anything, let alone a fuck-off spensive, big sexy Dyson.

ive just got the slimline ball dyson and its also my new love lol!!!

My other HOOVER Vacume was terrible. When i used my dyson for the first time i filled it my carpets where so dusty!!

It is quite hard getting used to the way the ball works, even my husband uses it so thats a break through in its self

My DH got me a slimline ball dyson as a suprise to. I was so chuffed plus every female member of my family adore him even more.

Its a great machine I now want to pull up the wooden floors and get more carpet so I can use it more. LOL.

FIL has just bought one of these - he loves his gadgets . He is telling everybody how fantastic it is. I may have to steal it borrow it for a while.

Is the slimline one quite light? I have arthritis and could do with a decently powerful vac but it needs to be light

i don't think mine is light to carry, but to use it is, cos it's so easy to push - no more 15 point turns to get it round the edge of your bed, just rolls round....

Cod, agree, flex too short, it doesn't reach from a plug upstairs to the bottom step, so have to do my stairs in two stages, but at least it comes out at the right point of the dyson. On my Vax the flex came out the bottom so I was always running over it (prolly why it broke tbh, not that i was DELIBERATELY sabotaging it or anything!).

beautiful, the only reason he bought it cos he saw first hand how shit the vax was - i have been telling him for months and I just got the wave of the hand and a "you're not doing it properly" comment...then HE uses it and all of a sudden HE discovered it was shit so HE bought a dyson. (he is also a snob and likes labels - where's me armani dress then dude?!)

Meely, that's so annoying when males do that, isn't it?

Female: "Darling, the dishwasher is leaking."

Male: [Deep sigh] Sweetness. Cupcake. Angel. The dishwasher is fine. But you must remember to close the teeny-weeny ickle doory-woor on the fwont before you switch the button on. Look, like this...

[shuts door]

Male: Fark! This fucker is pissing dirty water on to my socks! Why didn't you tell me about this? Right, I'm buying a new one!
