Trouble in Vacuum Cleaner Paradise
December 30, 2011 Leave a Comment
Ann spent most of Wednesday cleaning up after Christmas. Taking off the ornaments and tinsel to have a nice clean house before the New Year starts. I managed to do the heavy lifting putting the tree away until next year and packed up all the boxes in the garage.
She topped off the cleaning with a nice sweeping of the carpet to give it a nice fresh look. She’s been using the Oreck because it seems to do a good job at cleaning up after our dachshunds and her preferred Dyson 17 was full and I couldn’t empty the canister since our garbage cans were full of the usual after Christmas stuffing’s.
I told her I would give the Dyson a good overall and cleaning to bring it back to new, but I’ve been too busying at work to get to the chore. But a spider was spying on me in my home office and I needed the Dyson with the wand to suck up the little sucker.
The spider pretty big , but it just didn’t want to come out of the corner. The wand had no oomph to it. Eventually I got it and emptied the canister for my wife. The suction was really weak so I dislogded as much as possible to get the fluffy stuff out plus all the 1/8th inch wide paper shreds I vacuumed up last week when I cleaned the paper shredder.
I thought I got it all but when I extended the wand out to full length the motor on the dyson seized requiring me to take the stupid thing apart. After watching a few videos on how to unclog your dyson, I got the lower tube off and unclogged the remaining paper shreds along with a Sharpie I sucked up about a year ago.
The shapie still works btw.
My wife is nice and happy now since she likes the dyson over the oreck because it is easier to push. I liek the oreck over the dyson because, I think it cleans better.
