It was absolutely the HIT of the party. We realized, rather quickly, that children's favorite toys are often sound nightmares for the parents. Up until this gift, we had managed to avoid the most offensive playthings. I'm not so much bothered by toys that have "Twinkle Twinkle" available to a toddler at the push of a button. ( until the batteries start to die and it becomes twwiinnkkllee twwwwwwwiiiiiinnnnnkkkkkkkllllllleeee, then that toy gets put on a very high shelf in the off position.) this vacuum, however, was a 1.5v sound nightmare. Eeeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeeeeee eeeeeeeeee at a high pitch all over the darn place. Needless to say, that thing was hidden when I ran out of patience for the sound. I'd bring it back out, and two days later I was hiding it again. I was so happy when the batteries finally died. Ahhhhhh, they still love to push it around, but not it doesnt push their sweet (ahem) mother to the edge of her sanity. Bliss
That all changed today. Today is the day that I fell in love with this miniature home appliance.
I'm somewhat "challenged" when it comes to home upkeep. I'm clean, but I'm rarely Tidy. My husband, is very clean and very tidy. I have great intentions everyday, but then, you know, the couch happens to me. One of my husbands FAVORITE things is to come home daily to a freshly vacuumed living room. We have a dog, do I have to vacuum at least 3 times a week anyway. But again, the couch. So it's been rough. Today I noticed that this mini vacuum ACTUALLY picks crap up! Like a good amount of crap!
Aaaaannnnndddddd...... It makes those really super cool ijustvacuumedcuzimanexcellenthousewife marks. Win.
Now accepting donations for C batteries.
