At the tender age of 48 (GASP!), I have, at long last, fallen deeply and truly in love. This is surely a love that will last forever... or at least until the warranty expires!
That's right, my friends, the new love of my life is my Dirt Devil Reaction vaccuum cleaner. It's the first "cyclonic" vaccuum that i can actually afford. It was only $149 U.S., as opposed to the Dyson line of cyclonics, which start at about $400.
I am here to report, the cyclonic vacs DO hold suction much longer than their traditional counterparts. It is not true that they never lose suction, but it takes a great deal longer, several empties of the dirt cup, before you have to shake out the foam rubber piece of the filter to get rid of the dust.
They have also redesigned the dirt cup and made emptying it a breeze. I bought my first bagless vac in 2000, and the only thing I never liked about it was the clunky way you had to empty the cup. All better now, just lift the huge dirt container off, hold it over the trash can, push one button, done!
Must go now, surely there's something that needs vaccuuming.....!

I'm happy for you. Maybe I'll try one of those. I actually have been wanting one of the robotic vacuums but they cost too much right now. Maybe if the price comes down one day I'll buy one.

I want one of those too! That and the Scooba for my HArd wood. You wouldn't believe how dirty they get.

Hahahaha! You are too cute!
i have heard a lot of great things about the Dyson, but my family sure cannot afford it. We DO have a bagless vaccuum, though. It's not horribly hard to empty, but it is a task i am glad i do not perform! It would suffocate me (i only have 30% lung function) and make my allergies go haywire!

When you get done with all your vaccuming there at your house will you come do mine??? {had to ask,lolol]
My great love is of sewing machines, I own several. Funny thing is------I have a top of the line, embroidery/sewing machine which cost several thousand dollars and the machine I am using most is one my hubby paid $10 for at a yard sale.

I love it~ LOL! I just recently got myself a dyson and am so in love! It took me years of dreaming about it, and then one day my old vaccuum decided to go to vaccuum heaven. I first purchased a cheapy replacement and it blew up on me the 2nd time using it. I decided to splurge and get what my heart has always wanted and am so glad that I did.
