Late last year my wife insisted we needed to replace the carpeting in the bedrooms of our house. She picked the carpet out all on her own.
It gets installed and about a month afterwards she asks why I haven't cleaned it yet as I'm the one who usually runs the vacuum. I had tried it when she wasn't home and our Shark vac was really hard to use on the new, semi-shag carpet compared to the old carpet. So, I got it out and said 'Here, you try it.'
That didn't go over well as then we needed a new vacuum too.
Fast forward to Christmas and we're visiting our son and his family and my wife mentions we need a new vacuum.
Our daughter-in-law says 'You're welcome to take our old vacuum, it doesn't work but maybe you can fix it. Our cleaning ladies bring their own and don't use it, so we don't need it any more.'
So, I get to bring home an old dirty vacuum.
I got around to taking a look at it and found all it needed was a deep cleaning itself. Once I got all the dog hair and dirt out of it, it works pretty good. So good in fact that my wife uses it instead of the Shark to vacuum the carpets now.
