Cool Tool

During our most recent stop at Walmart we spent $20 to buy a new vacuum cleaner. We already had a tiny 12 volt wet/dry vac but trying to vacuum floors with it was such a nuisance we kept putting off vacuuming. So, I put vacuum on the shopping list. Dave, of course, was never going to buy one. So when I had to go in to WalMart the other day to straighten out my meds again I insisted we look at vacuums.  

While walking to the section of the store where there sell vacuums Dave walked by a display of one type of them. Since they were in small boxes in the middle of the aisle he didn’t recognize them for what they were. But I was driving one of those electric carts which had only slow as a speed so the display was at my eye level and I had time to actually see it. This is what I saw.

OK, that’s not literally the store display. That’s the empty box after we unpacked it at home. I thought I should give you something to recognize in case you decide to go shopping for one of these. That’s Dave’s hat on my bed to give you a sense of how small this box is.

The vacuum itself is more or less a four pound Dustbuster type with a crevice tool attachment and a floor attachment. It has a telescoping handle. Here’s what it look like with the floor attacment on and the handle down and up standing next to our dinette bench so you can see its size.

It’s small enough to store in the back of our closet yet it’s amazingly powerful. At least it picked up a lot of dust and hair from our carpet. Maybe that’s just a sign of how long it has been since we vacuumed our carpet.

TTYL,
