My beloved is sent out to work and some people call me a "pimp" but hey. When away for my 100 days (98 actually) sailing on Tutak Mrs Barge had to do the hoovering. Perhaps this really should be changed to dysoning these days.
Before the time of living afloat I used to have a huge and heavy brightly coloured thing that would suck the cat up the hose given half a chance. Mrs B once tried cleaning the stairs with the Dyson at the top only to be concussed as the suction shortened the hose and brought it crashing upon her.
Here it is building the barge, boy did that machine get abused. It was attached to the bench saw and sanders, it sucked up metal swarf and grinding debris, it even ventilated the tanks during painting so that I could continue to breathe. I still use it today in the workshop but it is very battered now and not user friendly. Anyway Mrs B finds it too big for the barge so she went out to find a baby one.
I howled with derision upon seeing it, what good is that, it can't possibly suck the skin off cold custard. True, for seriously dirty jobs the big one wins hands down but for everyday cleaning and a bit more I reckon it is brilliant.
Welcome the Dyson Animal DC31 with some super attachments that get in all the right places and have the same fittings as the larger models. It has a motorised beater bar which is fantastic for the sofa and the hairs of the "wee dug". And do you know what the best thing about it is? On boost power it only lasts for "6" minutes before it needs recharging. Now that is just fine by me, any longer than that and I am right bored withhousework bargework. Six minutes is long enough to do a quick job on the entire barge or do a single room properly, walls, ceiling etc.
Here it is sorting the tediously fiddly but beautiful cast iron radiators and, yes, it does really needs emptying every time it's used but is that a problem? I thought it would get right up my nose but I am now a convert, long live the Dyson "Baby" Animal.
I can't believe I just written that, now where's my beer.
