Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / June 2006So much for the Sucky Monster
I was vacuuming last night, which is a rare occurrence. Yeah, as much as I love my Dyson, it's lucky to get used twice a month. I am *not* a housekeeper by any stretch of the imagination. But I digress.... Rita climbed on the couch and watched the Sucky Monster with great interest. Whenever it got close to her, she just reached out to touch it with her paw. And that's it. No running, no hiding, no misery. She is the most fearless cat I've ever seen. She even sits in the window to watch thunder and lightening, looking over her shoulder once in awhile as if to say, 'Did you see that? Cool!'

I got a demo at a store and I thought it looked like it had an inordinant amount of gagdgets. All I ever use is a couple of basic hand attachments. Just for my info., what is it you're not impressed about? And what is it that makes it an "animal" vaccum? Does it vacuum hair better, or is it just because of all those extra gadgets? Is it heavy to push? I paid big bucks many years ago for a Kirby and hated it. It was heavy, like pushing a tank, hard to convert to hand tools, and so highly over-rated. I swore I'd never buy another high-dollar vacuum unless I was sure I would like it. Thanks Sherry > Just for my info., what is it you're not impressed about? And what is It doesn't seem to vaccum as much stuff as our previous one. > it that makes it an "animal" vaccum? Does it vacuum hair better, or is > it just because of all those extra gadgets? Is it heavy to push? I think the difference (besides color and price) is the attachments. As far as I know, they all have the same motor. It is very light, that's the thing Tom likes best about it.

Our Animal is the "suckiest" vacuum I've ever seen. Although we do have to empty the canister pretty frequently. We love ours. And we don't use most of the attachments very often either (but it's kinda convenient to always have them right in/by/on the vacuum when you want one). The little flat head one works wonders on Missy's chair. SignatureSam, closely supervised by Mistletoe >> Just for my info., what is it you're not impressed about? And what is > >It doesn't seem to vaccum as much stuff as our previous one. The canister isn't as big as the average bag? I have to admit that's true. I have to empty the canister many more times then I ever had to change a bag. But they're working on that 'problem'. Otherwise, I love the extreme suction.B >> it that makes it an "animal" vaccum?

As >far as I know, they all have the same motor. It is very light, that's >the thing Tom likes best about it. I've used lighter, but not better. The 'animal' vacuum comes with gadgets that make it easier to pick up animal hair everywhere, so they say. Quite frankly, I've never used them yet. If I had a low couch, I might have, but I don't.

But don't put out the big bux for a new one, they last forever, you should be able to find a good used or rebuilt one in the paper or at a shop. Also, if you get an Electrolux, don't buy the "official" Electrolux bags. There are other bags that will fit it and are just as good and much cheaper. > > I paid big bucks many years ago for a Kirby and hated it.

I wonder if Electrolux makes an upright now. Cannister vacs are so awkwaqrd to drag around and to store. You can just pop an upright into the closet to store it, but with the cannisters, you've got that long hose, wand, and tank to deal with. The best vac I've had so far is the Hoover Wind Tunnel WRT suction and simplicity of changing to hand tools. DH over-hauled it a couple days ago and it seems good as new for now.

Yes they do make an upright. But stick with the tank, it sucks much better! You stand the tank on end for storage, it takes less space than any upright, and hang the hose up. The wand breaks down into small sections. Hose pops on and off business end of tank. Wand pops on and off end of hose. Tools pop on and off end of wand. Couldn't be simpler. >> I was vacuuming last night, which is a rare occurrence. Yeah, as much >> as I love my Dyson, it's lucky to get used twice a month.

Mine went together nicely, and nothing is loose, so it's working okay for me. Is yours not sucking well enough? Check your paperwork, there's got to be a phone number somewhere. Or take it back to where you bought it. The Dyson cost enough $$$ that they'd BETTER guarantee it works! I got mine at Bed, Bath & Beyond (at 20% off!), and BBB guarantees it.

They're not pretty, but they do pick up what is on the floor. >> I was vacuuming last night, which is a rare occurrence. Yeah, as much >> as I love my Dyson, it's lucky to get used twice a month.

Maybe is faulty in some way? My Dyson is absolutely brilliant. I have the cylinder one, so I can't help if you have an upright. Mine would suck *me* up if I stood in its way :-) It's years old now but providing I get new filter every couple of years (and brush or rinse them in between) it cleans my house like no other vac I've ever had. And it's so satisfying to see the dust and cat hairs spin around in the cylinder as you go along.. Tweed > I was vacuuming last night, which is a rare occurrence.

He doesn't mind the vacuum. He is definitely fascinated by it though. He follows me around from a distance of maybe 2 meters and watches. But I can easily grab him and vacuum him too. It removes quite a bit of loose hair. SignatureBritta Purring is an automatic safety valve device for dealing with happiness overflow.

But the Purple Snake (vacuum) is a whole 'nother story. We did have a crazy Tomcat when I was young, who loved to be vacuumed. :) |
