Mom was chosen to test the new Dyson DC28 Vacuum and has been testing it on everything she can find to vacuum. The first thing she noticed is how much suction it has! She has an older Dyson DC07 and thought it was the best vacuum she ever had but this one seems to be much more powerful and picks up even more then the old one does. There are three of us, my brother Webster who has long hair, my brother Ringo who has medium hair and me, I have short fine kitty hair. Both my brothers have undercoats of very fine hair that they shed.
The first thing she tried was the turbo tool on the furniture. OMC did that work nice! It got all the hair off with no trouble at all! Usually she has to vacuum and vacuum to get most of the hair off the furniture and the turbo tool took it ALL off with no trouble. Because Webster's hair is long it wraps around the brushes a lot but Dyson thought of that and made the tool so you can just slide the brush out, clean the hair off, slide it back in and you are ready to continue vacuuming.
Next she tried the crevice tool. This tool had a great feature. It can be used like any other crevice tool on the cracks in the furniture that you can't get to with the other tools and as an added bonus it has a brush that slides forward that you can use on lamp shades and other delicate things that you don't want to scratch!
The next thing she tried was the upholstery tool. She tried it on the furniture to see if it did any better then the turbo tool. It actually did just as good a job but was slower to remove all the hair then the turbo tool because it lacked the brush action. But it's great on things that aren't full of hair like the mattresses etc.
The flat out tool is great for getting under things and entryway rugs that are hard to shake but a regular vacuum just lifts it up instead of just gliding across it.
The last thing she did was use the vacuum without the tools. OMC it cleans way down deep in the carpet. It pulled things up that haven't seen the light of day for a very long time. We knew the old Dyson DC07 was getting things up deeper down then our Dirt Devil but the Dyson DC28 vacuumed circles around the Dyson DC07. An added bonus is that it is much quieter then any other vacuum we have ever had. None of us ran away from it and you can actually hold a conversation while it is running. If your looking for a powerful vacuum that will work as an upright and equally well with the tools the Dyson DC28 is for you!
I've been made COTW! I am so excited! I don't know what to say except thank you HQ for bestowing me with such an honor and the opportunity to brag to my dog brothers Webster and Ringo! (just kidding I really do love my brothers) I want to thank everyone for all the pmails, friend requests and the pretties on my page.
To make matters even more exciting my best cat friend Hambone was made COTD yesterday too so we got to celebrate together at the Boys Only Bunker!
This is the hardest diary entry that I have ever had to write. Yesterday we said goodbye to a dear friend. Our Dog friend Wilson made the journey to the Rainbow Bridge. His human family is heartbroken and I'm sure his furfamily is too, Cletis his brother and Tater his cousin were very close. Wilson's journey to the Bridge has left a huge hole in the hearts of his Boys Only Bunker family and many other friends that he had on Dogster and Catster.
Our Wilson was one of the most caring dogs we knew, he was always there to friend any pup that needed a friend, he was the life of the Bunker, always trying to take care of the rest of us but getting into trouble while doing it. He loved his bike and loved to tease the girls by squirting them with his super soaker but ran at the first sign that any were going to try to kiss him.
Have a safe journey Wilson and rest up because we are patiently waiting for you to come and take care of us at the Bunker once you get used to your wings.
