The Dyson Ball


Shortly after Brody I were first married we spent a lovely day at Target using up most of the gift cards from our wedding buying different necessities and appliances for our apartment. When we walked down the vacuum aisle, we were both a little disgusted by the some of the prices and decided that since we only had a 2-bedroom apartment we opted for a super-cheap $60 piece.

Big mistake.

I've HATED that vacuum from the moment we turned it on. It had practically zero suction, it was incredibly loud, bulky, heavy and would blow crap back into the air. I couldn't take it any longer and finally broke down on Friday and bought a Dyson Ball D-24. It's compact, only weighs 12 lbs , much quieter, has amazing suction, is super-easy to empty (no annoying bags or filters to change) and corners like it's on rails.

I had done all kinds of online research and was incredibly impressed by how loyal and adamant Dyson owners were. The commercials have always intrigued me, but I think I just figured it was because the guy had a British accent. I scoured consumer reports, amazon customer reviews and opinion pages before finally deciding on the D-24. And to my surprise and incredible luck, Target was selling them for $80 off their regular price! It was still $320, but well worth it. If you have been looking for a good vacuum RUN, don't walk, to your nearest Target and pick one up.

I never thought that I would ever have this much to say about a vacuum, but it's INCREDIBLE!!! An absolute game-changer. Thank you Dyson, thank you.
