That's almost a Vac A Year. A new world's record. you do buy the extended warranties, right?!

Well I bet none of them cost 1,000 dollars. One day I got home from work and Giancarlo had just purchased a thousand dollar vacuum. WHAT???

And the real kicker is that it is too heavy to use so it just sits in the closet while everyone uses our old, lighter one.

ARGH.

What do you DO to the poor things...someone offered to sell me a $6,000 vacuum once. I figured if I couldn't fly it to work, it wasn't worth the price.

You must be using it too often! Mine last forever. :-)

Maybe you should get a riding model next time?

I have wanted to buy one of those vacuums that go all over hardwood floors. Has anyone ever had one of those? I hate hate hate the smell of a vacuum cleaner when you turn it on. Gag a maggot!

Ok I won't bring my vaccuum cleaner over! Can I bring any other appliances then? Or how about my dog? Can she come?

Its truly not YOU Hula! They just don't make 'em like they used to!

Janis said...

They dont make things the way they used too. Seems like now a days household appliances only last a few years. Happy Easter to you and yours.

The only vacuum I will ever have again, unless it's central vac, is a Miele.
