In our previous house, the floors all looked like wood but were actually vinyl slats. We bought a robotic vacuum cleaner which worked well. However, in our new house, the bedrooms are carpeted and Roberta, as we call the vacuum, doesn’t pick up the specks of fluff so well.
The other alternative is to use the big vacuum cleaner but I was getting tired of having to get it out most days just to spot clean. So now we’ve bought a battery-operated stick vacuum cleaner and it’s working out well.
I said it could be my Christmas present but Vince has never been one to buy appliances for birthdays and Christmas. He’s too romantic for that.

Your Vince is like my Vince so I’m gonna get my own vacuum too and never expect such present from him. I have been wanting a Dyson one but he finds it too expensive for a vacuum cleaner.

@CarolDM Yes, I believe it's worth the investment.

We had two vacuums. One is a Hoover that I bought several years ago. It does a decent job. Four years ago I was doing a survey that asked me questions about various vacuums I've had over the years. I gave it detailed answers. The survey company contacted me and offered me a free vacuum if I'd do surveys they sent me specifically for whichever vacuum I chose from the ones they offered. I agreed and received a Shark battery operated vacuum. It did very well and I gave it high marks on the surveys they sent me.
When we moved three years ago we found out the Shark stick doesn't perform well on carpet that has any length to it. The carpet in this house is a shag type. (We don't like it but this is a rental, so we don't have a choice.) The Shark just stopped working a few months after we moved here so it is in the garage now. The older Hoover we have works fine here.

@JudyEv We loved that Shark. It had a lot more suction than the Hoover did.

Our vacuum cleaner too is bulky and so I have kept it inside its box.

@JudyEv That's right. Assembling it is more tedious than the cleaning.

@DocAndersen I liked the wood look-alike floors that we had in the previous house but the bedrooms here have carpet.

@JudyEv the one we have is perfect, it is hanging right next to the only carpet that remains in the house!

We need appliances that can help us easily esp. to save our time.
I am planning also to buy even a small vacuum.cleaner but to save money for that project hehe

Congratulations on your new vacuum cleaner! I consider the stick type of vacuum cleaner a very effective one, our friends have one and they are very pleased with it: it is easy to use, easy to store, easy to clean
