Tis’ the season for a new vacuum!

by Jill December 4, 2009
December 4, 2009

Thank you to Mandy from JackandMandy.com for the button!

About a month ago, after another unsuccessful attempt to suck up all the dog hair and filth from my floors, I tweeted something like, “Vacuum, oh vacuum. Why don’t you suck?” because that’s what I do with random vents and frustrations about mindless things like household appliances when there’s no one to voice them to but the toddler, I tweet them. Later that day I got an email from Dyson’s PR folks. They wanted to send me a vacuum, promising I’d never complain about lack of suction again.

I mulled around my wishy washy stance on product reviews as of late and how I’d been thinking of giving them up altogether because I was sick of worrying about becoming “that mommy blogger”, then I tossed it aside with the quick reminder to myself that, “HELLO!! This is a DYSON!” and I promptly agreed to accept the offer.

The next week I came home to my husband, sitting in a pile of cardboard and Dyson D25 vacuum pieces, assembling it with a look of Christmas morning plastered on his face. “It came!” he exclaimed (and suddenly this blog of mine just got really serious for him). He put it together with lightening speed and proceeded to start vacuuming. I had to stop him, “Hey, wait! I’m the one who’s supposed to be reviewing it. Hang on!” “But I’m just going to do one room,” he replied. We were arguing over who got to vacuum. Cue Twilight Zone music.

After I managed to wrestle it away from him I got our old Hoover out to do a little experiment. I ran it over the living room floor and it pulled up a ton of stuff. We’d been gone over the weekend and hadn’t had a chance to vacuum, so there was a lot for it to suck up. Looking at the amount of hair and debris in the canister, it looked like the Hoover did a pretty decent job. Plus, it left such pretty track marks that always make me feel like my house is a whole extra level of clean.

Then I brought in the Dyson and ran it over the same area. O….M…..G…. gross. It pulled up just as much as the Hoover did on the first pass, and it somehow even managed to suck up a small feather. I don’t know where the feather came from, still haven’t been able to figure that one out.

I handed it back over to my husband since he was itching to put it to the test. He ran it in every room of the house, and it’s like our carpet changed colors, which was both exciting and made me want to gag. When he got to the hallway, I stopped him and asked what the attachment on the handle did. He pulled it up and showed me that it was the Quick-Draw Telescope Reach wand. I looked above us and noticed the vents that needed cleaning, like, 6 months ago. We put it to the test. That bad boy sucked every last speck of dust off that vent, and it was a beautiful thing.

Since then, we’ve used it several times, both on the carpet and on our kitchen and bathroom tile floors. You can turn the brush bar off and on, so I think it’s safe to use on hardwoods, but we didn’t test it on that surface since we don’t have any. It does a great job of quick cleanup on the kitchen floor, though, which makes it even more useful for me.

So here’s the official pros and cons list, let’s start with the cons because, yes, there are a few.

Cons:

1. Price- Yeah, that’s a big one. We’ve always wanted a Dyson, but that’s a hefty chunk of change that we haven’t been able to justify spending, especially since the Hoover wasn’t exactly dead yet. At full retail price, this model costs more than my washing machine does ($499.99). That being said, I saw them on sale during Black Friday, and I’ll bet they go on sale again. Also, I will say that if you have the $$ to spend and are in the market for a new vacuum, I would consider it a wise investment.

2. Noise- In comparison to our old vacuum, this seems to be louder. Not that that’s a huge issue for me, but just an observation.

3. Cord- The cord is shorter than my old vacuum, meaning I have to move the plug to three outlets to reach the whole house instead of two.

4. No cool looking tracks- Weird, I know. I think I’m just so trained to feel the house is “clean” when I see those vacuum tracks in the carpet. Oh well, I’ll get over it.

Soo… that’s pretty much it for the cons. On to the pros.

Pros:

1. It works!- Holy cow, it really works, tracks or not, this thing sucks everything up. Even better, the lazy homemaker in me loves that it seems that I can go even longer in between vacuuming. See, I’m not one of those vacuum every day type of people. I vacuum when it reaches a certain level of gross. It seems I can go longer before reaching that level.

2. It moves!- It’s really very easy to maneuver. So easy that I was able to vacuum all the way around my tantruming toddler as he laid on the floor, kicking and screaming.

3. It’s lightweight- It’s easy for me to lift up and over baby gates.

4. Cleanup- It’s easy to empty the container, and the debris doesn’t seem to start oozing out before you open it up. That happened with our old vacuum.

5. Filters- No need to replace a filter, just wash the filter that’s in there every three months. Comes with very clear instruction on how to do this.

6. The Quick-Draw Telescope Reach wand- It’s really so much easier to just pop this thing up and use it than what I had to do with my old vacuum, which meant disconnecting a dirty hose.

7. All floors!- I love, love, love that it cleans up my kitchen tile floor better than I ever could with a broom and a dustpan.

8. Style- Hey, it’s a good looking piece of machinery.

So this is the part that I’m most excited to write about. They not only were kind enough to send me a new vacuum, but they agreed to giveaway a brand new D25 to one of my readers, too! So exciting! So I’m going to run this more like a traditional giveaway to give everyone a few chances to enter. Here’s what you need to do (do any or all of these things, your choice, just leave one comment for each thing you do):

1. Comment below telling me why you want a Dyson D25
2. Subscribe to my feed
3. Follow me on Twitter (@BabyRabies)
4. Tweet about this contest
5. Blog about this contest and link back to this page
6. Make a donation to your local food bank

(To answer some questions, if you’re already following me on Twitter or already subscribe to my feed, that’s cool! Still eligible to enter, just leave me a comment saying so. Also, any donation to any organization giving food to the hungry this season counts.)

That’s it! I’ll use Random.org to draw a winner on Friday, December 18th sometime early-ish in the day, just in time for the holidays!

(Only open to residents of the US and Canada due to shipping.)

And in case it’s not already clear, I received the Dyson D25 for free to review.

Comments are now closed. The winner was drawn on December 18th.

Why do I want a Dyson? 2 words… THREE BOYS. I live in a rental property will light brown rugs and have three boys. I vacuum at least 7 times a week. Our current vacuum is only 5 months old but its already losing suction.

OMG, we seriously just got rid of the SAME vacuum cleaner you had! That thing was ancient. I went on a massive search for a new vacuum, and was just about to hand my credit card over for that whoppingly expensive Dyson when I read all the bad reviews. Couldn’t bring myself to swallow $400 if the reviews weren’t great – then I called my aunt who had one and she said she wished she hadn’t bought hers. Blah. So we went with a $160 Shark that got excellent reviews, and it was also advertised that also doesn’t lose suction. I’m unbelievably in love with it (read: don’t enter me in the contest, I’m just commenting.)

This is a really great contest thought! The most expensive thing I’ve ever gotten to give away on my reviews blog was a swim suit. Most of my prizes are >$20. I gotta get on a better gravy train!

With two lovely felines and a super hairy dog, i feel and look like i live in a zoo. There is hair EVERYWHERE and my vacuum does not pick up the hair. I have been coveting a dyson for a few years now! If Brad Pit were a vacuum.. he would be a Dyson, so sexy!!

Mama in the City December 4, 2009 - 7:48 pm

Yeah! A contest for our us Canadians too. I would love a new sweet vac to suck up all the junk my baby seems to leave around our apartment carpet. Like ground up animal crackers and the smattering of smashed rice krispies that I can see right now.

I actually own a Dyson, its a purple DC14 Animal and I cherish it like I do my 5 children. I’d actually love to win the Dyson D25 for my neighbor, a sweet young lady (all of her 84 years) who resides with her 7 cats and a limited income. She’d be tickled! I visit her about 2-3 times a week for some decaf, chit chat and of course, I run my beloved Dyson along her shag carpet. Its weird because I get a gleeful glimmer in my eye when I can see all of that cat hair spinning around in the canister. Its a true sense of accomplishment. I only wish it could suck up the mountain of a mess in my kids’ rooms!

In all honesty, I would like one to give to my inlaws. We have a Dyson ourselves and LOVE it – ok, I’m lying. I’d love it so we could keep it and give the inlaws ours. But they’d still be getting Dyson 😉 We have 3 cats and we need something with major sucking power. Inlaws have a dog who sheds year-round, and 7 people living in the house, so they need something strong.

I have a dog, a cat, and a kid on the way…and we live on a very muddy gross park. I vacuum literally daily.

Oh gosh, where do I start! I’d love to have a vacuum that picks up all the hair that my dogs leave all over. I swear we have little “puppies” running around constantly. And I need a vacuum that picks up all the dirt and sand that said dogs keep tracking in to the house. It’s a never ending battle!

Michelle December 4, 2009 - 10:55 pm

I would LOVE to get my hands on this vacuum and finally get rid of all the cat hair around this house. Our current one just isn’t making the cut! I really, really hope I win!

I NEED this vacuum! I have lots of critters and have been eyeballing Dysons for a while but they are SO out of my price range. The vacuum we have now is junk. It only works half the time and it has this eerie screeching noise from time to time.

Amy Brown December 4, 2009 - 10:59 pm

I’d love a Dyson because I have 2 cats and my current vacuum does a really poor job of collecting the cat hair! I’m constantly vacuuming and if I had a Dyson I could spend less time vacuuming and more time playing with my daughter!
thanks for the chance!

I NEED that Dyson! My husband is super cheap (frugal?), so we ended up getting the cheapest vacuum we could find. Unfortunately, this means that it shoots stuff out the back that hits my shins. Ouch! I have to make sure the kids are all out of the way when vacuuming, so that they don’t get shot, also. With 3 kids (the 4th due in just a few weeks!) and a dog a quality vacuum is a necessity and a Dyson is just that! 🙂

I am in dire need of a new dyson. I have been asking Santa for a new one every.single.year for 5 years. I mean, why should a woman have to sacrifice jewels, perfume and sexy clothes for a vacuum? Santa has been telling me that my old, non-sucking, dusty, vacuum with no handle works just fine. My 15 month old has learned how to eat dog hair and dirt like she is starving and lives in a dirty cave! I think she believes eating crap off the floors is normal and tries to feed dirt to her friends. I NEED this dyson. Santa will not bring me one and I fear what my home will look like in another month or year.

He can spot any kind of stain or speck of dirt on carpet a mile away. Also would help with all the puffs and cheerios he loves to throw on the ground thinking the cat would love to eat them (obviously not).

Why do I NEED a Dyson? After the miracle of IVF we are expecting a baby girl in March. Her nursery, as well as the rest of our home, needs a good vaccum before she arrives. Our old vacuum just isn’t doing the job anymore. We’ve always wanted to buy a Dyson but they are too expensive!

Kim December 5, 2009 - 10:11 am

OMG I would LOVE a dyson. I have wanted one since we got married but have not been able to afford one. Now I have a 3 year old and he spills everything on the carpet.

Amber06 December 5, 2009 - 11:19 am

Ok, so I don’t know if you will read this or not, but I can think of a HUGE reason why I need this Dyson.
About 2 months ago my dog brought flees home from the groomer. We have had our house exterminated 3 times, each time the exterminator tells us VACUUM, VACUUM, VACUUM. And I do, up to 3 times a day. However we have never gotten rid of the flees. It’s up to the point my child is getting bit by flees. The only thing I can think of is my vacuum (does not) suck and is not getting up the flee eggs (yes I am grossed out by that too) I am desperate here to get rid of these things, and I NEED a better vacuum! Please! :o)

Jessica December 5, 2009 - 11:20 am

I would love a vacuum like this. We have two cats and it seems that whenever the floors are just clean they like to roll and get all their fur on it again. It’s tiring to keep up…

My dogs think it’s loads of fun to tear any and everything they can get their drooly mouths on to teeny tiny pieces. I also live on a dirt road where apparently no one thinks it’s a good idea to wipe their feet when they come into the house, thus leaving a nice layer of dust and small rocks across my floor.
So there ya go!

I have the vacuum my husband bought before we got married over 20 years ago. Plus I hear Dyson rocks!

Gala December 5, 2009 - 12:20 pm

What a great and awesome give-a-way!!

🙂

Why would I want a Dyson.
Oh’ how I would love a Dyson. I have 3 chillin’s 2 bios/ 1 – foster-adopt. The foster daughter has a severe seizure disorder and in return we “try” to keep our home (that has a pug who looses more hair in 1 day than I have on my head in a year)…the less dust, dirt, ect ect…the better for her.

I also have a daughter w/significan allergies. We’ve been looking at these for some time.

Gala December 5, 2009 - 12:24 pm

I have been clipping coupons for months now to get as many non-perishable food items for cheap or free, so that I can make a huge donation this holiday season. So far, I’ve got a few boxes ready to go to the food pantry, so I’ll be dropping those off this week or next. I hope everyone can do the same this season. When you combine your coupons with the sales already going on, it’s so easy to get items for little or no money. And it makes a HUGE difference to those in need!

milka December 5, 2009 - 2:36 pm

I just donated canned soup and beans to the food bank. 🙂

Jenny December 5, 2009 - 2:36 pm

I had a Dyson (not the rolly ball kind) and loved it…then in a fit of post partum induced shopping, let my husband trade it in on a Kirby. The Kirby is okay, but I miss the pull out wand of the Dyson and the lightness, the kirby is so heavy!

Dawn December 5, 2009 - 2:45 pm

I have to say, I must have a defunked Dyson because I believe I have the same model as yours, but mine works great on hardwoods, but I does not work on carpets really at all after the first time. I am VERY disappointed and when I called the Dyson guy he said I would have to pay for it to be looked at even though it is under warranty! Not cool.

Jenn C. December 5, 2009 - 3:11 pm

O M G….I totally want this Dyson! Apparently my husband is allergic to vacuuming (and every other household chore) a great vacuum like this would make vacuuming a less hassle. Not to mention I’m a wee bit ocd and it frightens me to think about how dirty our floors are now. ::shivers::

Stephanie December 5, 2009 - 3:18 pm

I read this, seriously, right after I finished vacuuming downstairs and lamenting it’s non-suckability, particularly with all the cat hair and a baby scooting around. Would love to win a Dyson, already subscribe to your feed.

marti seegmiller December 5, 2009 - 3:25 pm

I really do vacuum every day (not because I want to but because we have two large dogs). I use my dirt devil but once a month I have been driving 30 miles to borrow my daughter’s Dyson. Unfortunatly, she just moved 800 miles away and didn’t leave her Dyson with me.

Jan December 5, 2009 - 3:29 pm

I would pass it on to my daughter so she could vacuum up all the pet hair and hopefully reduce allergens for my dear (highly allergic to everything) grandson!

Carrie December 5, 2009 - 3:47 pm

Um, I have a labrador, 2 cats, and I have long hair. Between the 4 of us, that’s a LOT of hair. And my kid isn’t walking yet, so the sooner I get a Dyson, the better I’ll feel as a parent while my baby rolls around on the hair infested carpets 🙂

Thanks so much for reaching out to your readers!

I have been wanting, no NEEDING, one of these for forever. We have two cats, one of which is long haired. I have been through 4 vacuums in 5 years. I often wonder why everything seems to suck except the vacuum. My husband is highly allergic to dust and my mother is only able to be in our house for a couple hours which sucks because she really can’t babysit…ever.

Carrie December 5, 2009 - 3:57 pm

And I posted about the contest on our family blog! 🙂

Liz Jenkins December 5, 2009 - 3:58 pm

I would adore one of these as my 12 year old Oreck is about to bite the dust, no pun intended. With a 90 lb. lab, 3 cats, me with my out of control hair, plus the regular family debris means we vacuum daily.

Dyson makes an awesome product. Anyone who wins this will be lucky to do so.

Linda December 5, 2009 - 5:05 pm

Why do I want a Dyson? Let me count the ways. 1. I have multiple kids. 2. I have multiple dogs. 3. I live in a 100 yr old house and entropy seems to be working overtime, allowing my home to turn to dust around me and fall to the floor. (or that may just be the kids bringing it all in). 5. I don’t have a good vacuum, just a cheapo.

Yep. I want that vaccuum!

We NEED a new vacuum so bad!! I told my husband I wanted a dyson, and of course, he thinks I’m crazy. We haven’t had one for several months now, so I’m really crossing my fingers for this one.

Allison December 5, 2009 - 5:15 pm

I will be donating food next weekend. (It’s part of a birthday party we’re going to – instead of bringing a gift.)

Monica December 5, 2009 - 5:16 pm

We are in desperate need for a new vaccuum. We’ve been using a fairly inexpensive Dirt Devil for years and while it still runs, it started smoking and smelling. We have hardwoods, tile and carpet and would love a wonderful, versitile machine to cover it all. I also have foster children who come into out home with all sorts of illnesses and allergies. I would really love to have a vaccuum that helped to make our home a safer, cleanre place for them to be!

Thanks to you and thanks to Dyson for the chance to win!!!

Mike December 5, 2009 - 6:25 pm

Here are some good reasons!
#1-7 month old boy ( Dakota ) is learning to crawl and putting anything he finds on the floor in his mouth. A dog named Rufus who’s nickname this last month has been “Rasta Butt” because of the dred-lock clumps of hair failing out of his rump 24-7. I vacuum the house and within a few hours there are at least a dozen clumps of floating around. He also rolls in coyote poop then looses hair with coyote poop on it!!
#2My current vacuum is a Dirt Devil and it sucks at sucking! Let’s call it the “Crap-ume”
#3The cat dissects about 3 animals a week on the carpet and at any given time you could probably find a piece of rat tail, mouse toes, or bird beaks that the DD missed. Look at reason #1 again and factor this it too.
#4 We have a dirt driveway and me, the dad, am inclined to walk in to the house without checking my feet. The carpet thus changes color about every three weeks. When I steam clean in its cream. The next month tan, then brown and get our the steamer again!
#4If I win the Dyson some lucky Thrift Store shopper is going to get a Dirt Devil!
#5 Come over to my house wearing a pair of black pants or sweats and walk ten feet on the carpet. You will now have black pants with white bottoms (dog hair) that looks like you got dipped in shredded coconut like a SnowBall from Hostess.
#6 Spiders…. I’m counting now….Yep 17 webs in various corners of the rooms and I sucked them all out about two weeks ago with “Crap-ume”

I’m excited to try this and see if it picks up all the dirt dragged into the house from living on a farm.

Kathy December 5, 2009 - 6:49 pm

Two words: apartment carpet. I’m not sure that dirt has ever been thouroughly removed from this much-used carpet. I’m sure a new Dyson could help remedy that 🙂

Lindsey December 5, 2009 - 6:56 pm

I would love to have a Dyson D25 because I’m in law school and have an indoor 45 pound dog. I also have a messy husband. That means I don’t have much time to clean and pulling out a broom for the floors, the vacuum for the rug, then hauling it upstairs for the rest of the carpeted area is a lot of wasted time. Plus, we bought our current vacuum as a store sample and it’s starting to fall apart so not only would a new vacuum save me time, but also is very needed since ours loses screwed every time I use it.

On an unrelated note, I love your blog and have been following since shortly after you started it. Kids are a few years off for us (the law school thing), but I recommend your blog to all my friends who are pregnant or anyone who needs a laugh about the “joys” of pregnancy and childbirth.

ERINN December 5, 2009 - 7:06 pm

My husband and I were married October 10th (of this year) and we registered for a Dyson. We didn’t receive one as a wedding gift and we can’t afford to buy one right now. I’d love to have one since we have a lot of carpet and my husband has terrible allergies.

(We donate to the food bank each Christmas…I usually just empty my whole pantry) 🙂

Lindsay December 5, 2009 - 7:10 pm

I would DIE to have one of these bad boys right about now! I’m expecting my first baby any day now and have given up on our cheap-o vacuum to get things clean before his arrival. I borrow my neighbors Dyson on a regular basis so having my own would be oh-so-sweet!!

P.S. I already follow you on Twitter and subscribe to your feed 🙂

Paola December 5, 2009 - 7:16 pm

It’s not that I simply *want* a new vacuum, I really really *need* one. And it has to have all the good features you described in your post. I hope this Dyson will be mine!

My husband has started eyeing them too. Not b/c he will ever touch a vacuum but b/c he is interested in the engineering! 🙂

Amy December 5, 2009 - 8:11 pm

love th blog. Would like a dyson becuase I am the only female in an all male house….ew. No one else will vaccuum. I should be able to vaccuum in style!

Meredith December 5, 2009 - 8:18 pm

I love your blog but have honestly never bothered to leave a comment. HOWEVER, my daughter is 6 months old now and I am still in the “losing all of my hair I’m surprised I have any left” stage. Our vaccum is no match for all of the hair embedded in our carpet. Thus, I’m hoping my comment brings me beginner’s luck, and a new Dyson!

Lynda December 5, 2009 - 8:27 pm

Poeia December 5, 2009 - 8:46 pm

We are on our second Eureka in two years (Eff of consumer reports), and she is on her last leg. Which would be reasonable if I was still rocking long hair and if we had 1/2 a dozen dogs, but we don’t.

laurie K December 5, 2009 - 8:46 pm

I need one because mine which is about 4 years old does not work well and my 9 month old just started crawling around and will not stay on the blanket i put down which makes me stress out everytime i see him crawling on the carpet! I have been dreaming about a Dyson for years now but my hubby would just die if i spent that kind of money on a vacuum.

Kim December 5, 2009 - 11:26 pm

Although I can’t imagine being done vacuuming and not having those track marks, I’d love a Dyson just for the sheer satisfaction of knowing that’s the cleanest my carpet is going to get! I”ve always wanted one but can’t justify the price even though cat hair seems to be winning versus my current Bissel.

I want a Dyson because our Kenmore died recently, and I hate the hoover we’re borrowing from my mom. We have two dogs and a toddler, and a variety of floor types in our house, and I want a Dyson so badly! We’re already saving for one, but I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to win one!

Tena December 5, 2009 - 11:55 pm

I also made a donation to a local food bank at our work holiday party this week, and plan to donate more tomorrow after grocery shopping.

Rochelle December 6, 2009 - 12:01 am

I’ve had the rare opportunity to use a friend’s Dyson and I’ve asked for one every holiday and birthday since then – still no luck. Either my husband or I is in school and we’re permanently living the starving student (aka po folk) life. Every time I vacuum with my crappy yellow Kenmore (that my aunt bought me because it’s yellow and she knew how much I wanted the Dyson) – my heart and my apartment carpet continue to plead for the Dyson. Come on Random.org. Pick me! Pick me!

Yes. I know I spelled specifically wrong in the last post. I was in a hurry. But I tweeted about the giveaway!

Siobhan Mulligan December 6, 2009 - 12:12 am

I have, at last count, THREE vacuum cleaners….one of which is a shopvac. Yup – SHOPVAC, because it seems to be the only thing that can get dog hair out of baseboards. One vacuum is a small canister (used for quick cleanups in the kitchen), one is an upright that….well, it’s still upright, but that’s about all I can say.

I REALLY REALLY want a Dyson! I have (at last count) three dogs, three birds, nine fish (ok, so they don’t add to the need for a vacuum, but still!), two recently adopted foster children (13yo, 2yo), two current foster children (14mo, 4yo) and two more (2yo, 5yo) coming for respite the two weeks of Christmas…

Oh! And have I mentioned I am single and MANAGE a major BOOKSTORE?? And it’s CHRISTMAS……do you have any idea how little time I have for vacuuming right now? And don’t even bother asking why my 13yo doesn’t do it…..YOU try overcoming 12 years of someone else’s parenting. I have only just gotten her to stop spitting food onto the floor when she doesn’t like the taste. Honestly, she is a sweet, bright child and is a joy. Cleanliness is just not something I have gotten through to her yet.

I am tired. I HATE the dog hair, the feathers, the crumbs, the hair my 14yo daughter seems to shed just by being present, the seed shells the birds fling about with passionate abandon…..

Just to show how truly shameless I am about wanting a FREE DYSON, can I also invite you to check out an early entry in my blog that tells about my battle with a rare autoimmune disease?? LOL!

Seriously, that Dyson would get a GREAT home here!

Heidi Blaue December 6, 2009 - 12:39 am

Totally need this as I do not currently have a vacuum that works on my hardwoods- imagine sweeping or swiffering a whole house- stinks!

Siobhan December 6, 2009 - 12:40 am

I just realized, I aged my daughter by a year LOL! She is 13yo going on 30…..but she just turned 13. Not sure where the 14 came from….

In any event, I don’t tweet (don’t know how) and I don’t know how to twitter or link or…..and, I don’t donate to food banks BUT I help with a christmas drive for 700 foster children in my county! Does that count?

Erin December 6, 2009 - 12:52 am

I NEED one of these because my current vacuum does NOT suck. AT ALL. My son has asthma so a vacuum that actually WORKED would be awesome!

Jennifer December 6, 2009 - 1:28 am

I desperately need a new vacuum. I have been looking at them online and have settled on the Dyson just today. Then I saw your post. I have pets and allergies…not a good combination. The Dyson is definitely what I need!!

Jamie December 6, 2009 - 1:48 am

I have 3 kids who manage to leave crumbs every where they go. Plus, I’m pretty sure my baby son is tired of finding my hair everywhere he tries to crawl. I swear I’m still losing hair!!!

johannaknip December 6, 2009 - 10:27 am

We joke around with another couple we hang out with about the Dyson. We actually talk about the Dyson like it is a sexual favor because the husbands each want one SO bad. “oh, baby you gonna give me a lil bit of that Dyson for my birthday?’ Gross, but we find it pretty darn funny.
In addition I have 2 large dogs and a long haired cat. New carpet is not in our budget this year. We keep shampooing the carpet and we are afraid it’s going to fall apart!

Kristy December 6, 2009 - 10:40 am

Oh how I covet your Dyson!

Meg December 6, 2009 - 10:54 am

I would love the Dyson 25 because my family had bad allergies and our house is carpeted. It would be wonderful to be able to get up all of the dander from the pets and all of the dust bunnies in one easy sweep.

Amy Mayberry December 6, 2009 - 1:17 pm

Why I’d love a Dyson? Five reasons…two dogs, two cats, and one toddler. The only thing better than owning a Dyson would be someone else operating it for me!

Oh, and I just made a donation to the food bank. I plan on doing at least 1 more big shopping spree for the food bank before Christmas.

I would love a Dyson! …and would definitely get some good use out of it! We have 3 cats, 2 dogs, one 9 month old, and one on the way. Needless to say – lots of hair and lots of dirt and dust. I’m almost afraid to know what our current vacuum isn’t picking up, but would love to know we’re really getting the house clean with a good vacuum cleaner with two little ones in the mix. 🙂

Well I have started cleaning houses for some extra money and one of my clients just got one on black Friday. I was able to use it OMG this vaccum
really works. I actually stayed at her he and cleaned for an extra hour just to use the vaccum. I
totally sold.

There are many reasons one would want a Dyson vacuum. The reason I’d like a Dyson? I’ve always wanted one since moving out of my mom’s house (she has a Dyson) and I have one of the crappiest vacuums ever. The difference between a Dyson and any other vacuum is astounding. Anyway, my vacuum will die soon and I don’t want to buy anything but a Dyson to replace it, but we really can’t justify spending $500 on a vacuum right now. Thanks!

You have no idea how much I would appreciate this! I have a black lab (enough said)a miniture pinscher (we got him after I learned my lesson with the lab hair) and a
cat.

I also have a 9 year old, 18 month old and baby on the way. Let me just say…Dog hair is EVIL! My daughter just got one of those flip out toddler couches – you would be amazed at the way the hair can weave into it! It now looks like a third dog laying there that my daughter rolls around on.

Please help the anti-fleece house..we’re desperate!

I’ve been asking for a Dyson for every birthday, anniversary and Christmas for the past two years (ie since I got pregnant) No one in my family seems to be able to get past the price tag. But hello, my kid licks the carpet. Daily. Which I think would gross me out a lot less if I knew the carpet was *dyson* clean. Right?

Gina December 7, 2009 - 11:39 am

I would love a Dyson D5 because we have two cats that shed on everything and have a 7 month old baby that is crawling around and putting everything in his mouth! My husband and I both work long hours and our current vacuum is too heavy for me to maneuver so I would love something that I could use easily every day. I am subscribed to your RSS and I follow you on facebook.

Liz December 7, 2009 - 12:01 pm

OMG! I have wanted a Dyson for so long but with a new baby on the way the price is what has held me back from making this purchase. I currently still have the vacuum cleaner my parents gave me for my first apartment and it still sounds like a jet plane leaving the runway. Thank god for the high pile carpets in the house to “hide” the dirt but i know that will only last for so long especially if the hubby gets his wish of a new dog for christmas. Please help me manage the chaos that will be my life in January. I subscribe via email.

I have been wanting a Dyson forever because we have three cats – all of which shed. It’s hell trying to keep on top of the cat hair and our vaccum is substandard at best.

I’ve been wanting a Dyson for years since I just don’t feel like my old Hoover has enough suction…plus I want to be ready for my first baby due in May. Babies just aren’t as cute with hairballs in their mouths…

We are still using some upright vacuum I’ve had for years (I’m so not in love with it, I don’t even bother to remember what kind it is!) The suckage sucks on it– and it doesn’t even leave those cool track marks!

Sarah December 7, 2009 - 1:18 pm

I have been DYING for a new vacuum cleaner that can actually pick up all the dog hair around my house. My current one might get 1/2 the hair so I spend 10 minutes vacumming one area! Obviously I have a suckage problem. Plus with an 8 week old baby at home, who has that much time to vacuum one area!

Kim December 7, 2009 - 1:37 pm

Let me count the ways…I have one husband, one 16-month old, two hairy cats, 4 nice rugs that need a lot of love and take a lot of abuse, hardwood floors that can only take so much toddler food/cat hair/winter schmutz, and kitchen rugs that never, ever seems to be clean. Please, oh random.com, take pity!

Ummm, well let’s see…Where do I begin? To start, I have 3 kiddos and one on the way…I vacuum EVERY day, and not just because of my OCD. My youngest, who is 4, has cerebral palsy and wants to be independently mobile, which requires her to be on said floor. My floor. Did I mention that I have two other kiddos? Or my darling husband? He proudly serves his country every day and then likes to bring it home and treck it across said floor. DO I want a Dyson D25? Yes please! Thank you!

Ashley December 7, 2009 - 8:48 pm

Why I want a Dyson? 1) New baby (9weeks) at home. 2) Tiny indoor dog- LOTS of hair!

I have had the same vacuum for 10 years (since my 1st year of college) and it’s not a good one. How sad am I? I sweep then vacuum then usually end up having to go over most surfaces with a lint brush, my husband thinks I’m crazy but we’re saving up for our honey moon and a new vacuum just isn’t in the budget. I keep asking for a Dyson for Christmas or Birthday but it hasn’t happened yet. This would make my year, a honeymoon and a GREAT vac all at once. WOW. Thanks and happy choosing.

Tim December 7, 2009 - 11:37 pm

We need one because we have a baby who makes a mess. Also because Dyson’s don’t loose their suction.

Renee December 8, 2009 - 8:02 am

I would like a Dyson because I like to vacuum even less then you do. If I had a vacuum that would actually be easy to push across the floor, instead of making me sweat like a teenage boy on his first date, I would do it more then once in a blue moon. Also, if my husband got half as excited over vacuuming as yours did, well then that would be even better.

Why do we need a Dyson?
Because our 20 pound doxie mix (who is fed a high quality food) sheds more than any dog that I’ve ever had or been around. He walks through the kitchen? Poof! There’s a pile of fur around the baseboards where I just got done vacuuming. I have no idea how this guy sheds so much!

Shawna Culp December 8, 2009 - 11:16 am

Are you kidding? What an awesome idea! I have a 6 month old, and I’m terrified (TERRIFIED I tell you!) about my floors when she becomes mobile. Our current vacuum needs the “wire hanger” treatment every other time we vacuum- mostly because we have 2 black cats, who would say (if they lowered themselves to our level) that they have decided to shed even more now since we brought the little alien into THEIR house. Would LOVE the vacuum, but love your site regardless!

At least twice a year I have to get down on my hands and knees and scrub 1200 sq ft of carpet! It would be the dream of a lifetime to have a Dyson.

Beth Larson December 8, 2009 - 10:05 pm

oh, hooooooow can I even begin to explain how having a 115 lb. Chesapeake Bay Retriever living with us in a pretty small suburban home challenges me. My Hubbie (bless his heart) is the biggest dog lover of all time, and we will ALWAYS have a dog living with us. When we got this cute little brown furry Dude, Hubbie promised to help with/do most of the cleaning up after him….fast forward to 9 years later. It didn’t happen. I fight -what looks like squirrels-but is dog hair- on the hard surface floors and don’t even want to know what is living in our carpet! My vacuume is old and although it tries it’s hardest, it just doesn’t cut it anymore. Please, please make my Christmas wish come true and pick me. Thank you for listening and Merry Christmas. Sincerely Beth Larson~ woof

Renee Hunt December 8, 2009 - 10:09 pm

I have two little-littles and two indoor dogs. Our bissel is going on 4 years old is begging to be put down. I’m not even sure it sucks anything up anymore and I am pretty confident my 10 month old’s drool filled chin collects more dog hair than the bissel’s filter. Gross, I know.

Stephanie December 8, 2009 - 10:58 pm

Ugg, I drool when I see the commercial for these vacuums. I have had the same crappy vaccum since I was in college. I dream of vacuums that can not only keep up with my rambutious toddler, but also after my 2 60 lbs dogs. I swear I get better suction from my little hand held vaccum. Can you see me now on all fours using the hand held to clean the carpet? …OOH better yet, maybe I can convince my toddler to do it…it is def. closer to his level! A girl can dream!

Crazyland: Tales from the Motherboard December 8, 2009 - 10:58 pm

Once upon a time I had a Dyson. Then it broke. Then I cheated on my Dyson and tried some other craptastic brand. It sucked. Or, to say it was lacking in the suckage.

I want a Dyson because no matter what vaccum we try, they always leave behind dog fur and we have 3 dogs! They’re big time shedders too. We also have our baby girl coming in March and with my nesting tendencies, winning a Dyson would send me over the moon to be able to really deep-clean our house.

I wasn’t going to enter because I have one but my mom’s vacuum is CRAP, so if I win it’s going to be going to her, she needs it, they have a dog and a cat inside.

I love Dyson!! best thing to ever come into my life, I hope I can get to share the love of it with my mom

I also must say how awesome it is to have donating to the food bank as an extra entry!! Just this morning we dropped off a few cans of soup, formula and baby food 🙂

I definitely want this vacuum. My sister-in-law & I kept checking black friday ads and I almost went out and bought one, but I can’t seem to justify spending that much money. I have two kinds under the age of 3 & they sure know how to make a mess!!

Wait, I don’t Twitter. Guess I better sign up now!
