I bought a Bissell. It is almost like a disposable vacuum. Of course, I have a lot of hard surface flooring so I didn't see the need for a fantastic vacuum I wouldn't use much. By the time I get the thing out and do the deed, I can just as well use the broom.
right after I got married in 95 we had an appointment with one.
I had to go show a house and before I left I asked her if I needed to call
and cancel or could she handle the sales pitch. She said no problem.
Needless to say I came home to her filling out the paperwork.
I asked how much and she said 15 but it can do so much.
I paused then said I hope it can pay half the mortgage.
We're still married but I'll never forget the deflated look on that poor kids face.

My wife let a guy in 4 years ago and we got every room vacuumed and shampooed. I ended up buying it cause I got the guy down to 600.00 and that was close to the cost of the Dyson I was looking at anyway. As some mentioned on here that Kirby is a kick *** vacuum. Hands down the best vacuum i have ever owned or used. Thing works like a champ.
I'm teaching her a lesson by making her deal with the presentation and ignoring the whole thing. This might be divorce-worthy. :dull::no::no:
60 mins later and you haven't responded. Better prove you didn't get sucked in.
I think he's going to end up buying four of them, one upstairs, one for down stairs, one for the basement and one for the garage! Cheaper than a divorce!! :biglaugh:

What kind of vac do YOU want to push around?
I think we should put a poll in this thread. Some choices to vote on:
He buys 1 vac
He buys 2 vacs
He buys 3 vacs
He buys 4 vacs
He gets divorced (buys no vacs)
He starts selling vacs
He makes his kid sell vacs
He catches the salesman making out with his wife
etc
During the mid-80's farm crisis, our neighbor was laid off from John Deere's and started selling Electrolux vacuum cleaners. His wife and my mom were friends and he needed a person to practice on, so my mom agreed to do it. It turns out that he ended up putting the hard sell on my parents during this 'practice' session. My parents farmed and had no money either, but this guy was in worse shape and they ended up spending a ton of money on this vacuum. It was a good vacuum though---probably lasted 15 years with 5 kids and lots of pets.
:biglaugh:Good idea! But I'll leave it to an expert poll maker poster to make one up if they want to!!
