Would you buy a vacuum from this dog? I did.

This holiday season, I treated myself to a new vacuum and resolved to remove and conquer pet hair in the year 2008. We have gone through three vacuums in less than a year and half. I kept on buying the under a hundred bucks jobs, and clearly they couldn't handle my life and the subsequent fur that went along with it.

I vowed to get a better model this time.

In a marketing move that clearly targeted me, Bissell now makes a pet hair eraser with Stella the 5 year old Border Collie on the box. Can you say sucker? Yep I bought it, and to be fair it was 20 dollars less than the one with the Golden Retriever mix on the box .

When I asked the sales guy at Best Buy the difference in the two models, he went on about beater bars on the more expensive one being easier on my hard wood floors. As if someone whose dog's toenails dance across the hard wood floor all day is really going to care about a beater bar. There was also a stairs feature that just didn't apply to me, so Stella was rehomed right then and there.
Yes of course we named the vacuum Stella. Did you really have to ask?

So as if my new vacuum is not the most incredible earth shattering news story of the day, this blog has been direct marketed by Dyson vacuums to test their new hand held rechargable Animal Vacuum designed for pet hair that sells for $199. and is due to come out next month.
And it came today! My new baby is upstairs charging right now.

This blog is so happy to receive said rechargeable Dyson hand held vacuum to review, that this blog is throwing a gleeful cyber hat high up in the air ala Mary Tyler Moore.

Longtime readers of this blog have already read about my battle with dog hair and couches.
If these two vacuums work as well as I hope they will, my search for a new couch may be not nearly as covert as the last outings.

The dog hair drama will be continued as will reviews of both products in the near future.

Hey folks at Roomba---drop me a line. Lets talk.
