my new steamvac

The older I get the more domesticated I get and the more domesticated I get the more I get excited over new cleaning appliances. 
Weird, huh? 
 Good news is that I'm not alone.  Apparantly this is happening to many of my friends as well so that makes be feel ok about it. 
and...
my home is cleaner so it's all good if I get excited over a new steam vac right?

So if you haven't guess it after reading my title, we bought a new steam cleaner.  I've been wanting one since I paid over $100 to a carpet cleaning service for a one time cleaning.  I knew I'd save a ton buying one vs. paying for the service once a year.  So we did our research and went with one of consumer reports' favorites.

While doing research on this baby I came across some before and after photos on Amazon like this one.

Pictures don't lie and I love being able to see actual proof that a product works before I spend money on it, ya know?

 Just like a kid with a new toy I put my new steamvac to work the same night I got it!  It worked great and I was impressed to say the least.  So I decided to take my own before and after pictures on the next area I cleaned (the dreaded hallway).  Our hallway carpet is a light colored low profile carpet and it gets so dirty. I tried setting down a rug in that area but it just gets tripped over and moved around too much. It's a busy area and steam cleaning seems to be our only option at this time.  Here is the dirtiest area I could find.


I was afraid it was too dirty in this specific area for even my mighty new steamvac but it proved me wrong.  So it's two thumbs up on this Hoover for me!

I haven't been paid by Hoover.  This is just my personal experience.  But if you work at Hoover and wanna send some dough my way, I'll give you my address, K? 

Just kidding...kinda

One hell of a sucka!


I did the unthinkable and dropped a pretty penny on a vacuum. Yeah, yeah, yeah...next it'll be a mini van. But hear me out before you sign me up for the PTA. This vacuum rocks! It works so well I was considering pointing it towards the family so that I can sit and peace and catch up on some Ugly Betty. I had to dump the canister 3 times! I just vacuumed the day before with my old Dirt Devil.

My husband told me I was like a kid on Christmas morning with that insane twinkle in my eye as I drool and play with my new toy in my pajamas. Apparently I am not the only one excited over the new Dyson because the first thing my son said when he woke was, "momma, can we play vacuum?"

He almost brought a tear to my eye. So we vacuumed again. lol We have 2 cats, 1 dog, and a toddler...this vacuum was made for my family.
