How Do You Feel About Housework?

Great ideas, Hoot!

But it has a cord

What's the big problem with a cord? Just plug it in and throw the cord over your shoulder. I've got one of those long, outside-type orange heavy-duty extension cords so I don't have to keep plugging it in and unplugging it. I've always found the cordless ones don't have nearly as much power.

Butterfly....I was wondering the same thing. We had a cordless before and it was worthless. I'll still rely on good old wall power.

We picked this up the other day. Weights 12 pounds and is replacing the old clunker. Much quieter and a whole lot lighter.

Pappy, that's the same vacuum cleaner I just bought a few weeks ago. So far I'm really happy with it! :eagerness:

So are we, Davey. Lot of power for a smaller machine.

Something for which I have little enthusiasm. I do it when it becomes absolutely necessary (like wading ankle-deep in tracked cat litter). Of course, I live alone in a 2500 sq ft Victorian house, most of which is unused as a living space.

We bought a lightweight pricey Oreck years ago, not only did it not pick up dirt very well, but it burned through belts for the light use it got, like crazy. A free hand held came with it that I use to do the stairs and corners, and any cat litter that's tracked around. I had a Dustbuster once that was pretty useless, rechargeable, didn't pick up much of anything.

Housework? What's that?
