I know this is a fairly obvious statement most of us would agree with. I decided a couple years ago, when I didn't have much in the way of income, I would rather save my money and do without until I could afford the right solution, than to throw away my money on a half-way solution.

Why do I bring this up now? We have been using my vacuum from my college days in our house. We have known for awhile now its days were numbered, but we finally grew tired of the smell of burning rubber, and the dust it recycled back into the air. We tolerated this because when we purchased our next vacuum, we wanted to make sure it was a good one, and would last for years to come.

Enter our new vacuum...Dyson. This machine is amazing. It was like we never really vacuumed, and we keep a clean house!
