Anyone for Coffee? (no boys allowed)

I can still only use an upright vac model - which type do you prefer - upright or cylinder?

I want a Henry hoover but my other half won't let me have one.

I get the cylinder because it is easier to store for me and also I get the feeling that the upright models won't get to those hard to reach spots.

How about those vacuums that also wash the carpets? I saw a Vax (I think?) which was around £100. Are they good?

Electronics... now heres something I can talk about!! ^_^

This was fun to read!

I want a Henry hoover but my other half won't let me have one.

Why not?

[Aravona]

haha well I like electronics!

And he wont let me have a Henry cos he thinks they are silly!

[kasie]

Well, he may think they look silly but the man who is here doing my decorating for me has one in the back of his van and he is nothing if not fussy about cleaning up after himself, so he must think they work and are good value for money. (Yes, he is a Treasure.)

Scher - you are right about uprights not getting in the hard-to reach-places, though they do have hand tools you can attach. I just can't use cylinder models - I fall over, nothing to lean on!

[Aravona]

I like the new dyson, the space saving one... but my other half and I plan to have dogs, so need a good dog hair vaccum, and theres a fair few new ones

They used to make electronic appliances that were good and reliable, but that's not very profitable, so they've given up the habit.

My parents still have the microwave oven they bought when my older brother was born (its 25th birthday isn't that far away), and it's working as good as new despite its old age.

By the way, I never understood how people break their cell phones so easily. I've had three cell phones in 7 years, but both my old ones were still working fine when I changed them for a newer model. My first one was Nokia 5110, old already when I got it (it was huge compared to those 3310 and 3330 models everyone else had at that time), so I got a new one two years later. Then I got my recent one when I graduated from upper secondary school three years ago, and there hasn't been any problems with it at all, it doesn't even look worn.

Anyway, this vacuum cleaner conversation isn't really my thing. I can participate with saying that yes, I own one, and yes, it's been fine, but I think it's lonely and feels like I'm neglecting it

[applepie]

I do all the things to a phone that you shouldn't do I drop them and run them through the washing machine. I let the kids play with them and forget to pull them out of the car in the hot summer sun. I'm just not good at caring for them, but then I run on the assumption that I get a new one every two years anyway, so no real point in worrying over it. I'm normally ready for one by the time my contract is up anyway. I love gadgets, and after two years the technology is changed enough that I am ready for a new toy.

Now, if only I could get my husband talked into the new computer that I want.

I am a boy. I am here. I plan to stay here. And you can do nothing. muhahahaha

Welcome, would you like to talk about the latest hair styles

[Annamariah]

Oh, I'm not worried. On regular intervals a certain subject of girl-talk pops up, the one that has so far been very successful in driving away all the male intruders. Was it Virgil who once came here, exlaimed "What a gruesome subject. I just wanted to see what this thread is all about and now I wish I never did " and left, scarred for life

How can you live with two dogs and a cat if you've got horrible allergies? I feel awful if I hug a dog-owner, not to mention spendig fifteen minutes in a house with ONE dog... Cat's aren't really any better than that, and both of them at the same time I don't even want to think about

You really must need a great vacuume cleaner and use it a lot...

[papayahed]

If you guys recall I had a vacuum crisis a while back. I went back to a bagged vacuum (upright) and I love it!! It'll suck the paint off the walls if I chose to do so.
