For about the last 4 years I have wanted a Dyson Vacuum. Unfortunately, I have never been able to afford one since they obviously aren't a cheap item. My boyfriend, Mike, knew I have been wanting one. So... as my Valentine's Day present he bought me one. :-) I LOVE it! He got me the Dyson Ball Animal. I have never been so excited to vacuum in my life. Maybe it's a sign of old age or something to get this excited over a vacuum. If so, oh well! I don't mind being old. Seriously, I recommend everyone get a Dyson vacuum. It sucks dirt and dust up so well. And the best part is I will never have to worry about buying belts to replace. It's full of power and it doesn't seem to tear up the carpet like our previous vacuum. Annnnnnd another awesome factor is it's small and light. Very easy to maneuver! Which means Desi can start vacuuming her own room now. YAY!
