Vacuum Bliss

Recently Brad Luff told Beckie and I that a vacuum store in Redding had a vacuum there that was even better than our Dysons. We couldn't believe what he was saying so we had to go check it out ourselves!
So we planned our day around our little vacuum date and Friday afternoon we went to check out this vacuum rival. It was vacuum bliss. As the salesman explained to us there are vacuums and then there are Riccar vacuums, the fully-loaded Jaguars of vacuums. He gave us a full 30 minute demonstration and left both Beckie and I speechless. I still love my Dyson very much but the Riccar has some pretty cool features. Beckie and my favorite feature was that it has amber colored lights that light up on the front of the vacuum when you go over a dirty area. Once you have vacuumed up all the dirt the lights go back to white. How cool is that?!? A dirt finder! Never again would there be a question of whether or not your carpets are clean.
Don't worry I won't bore you by telling you all the details and all the cool features. Now the only question is how to save up to by our new vacuums... only $995.00 (yikes!). I think it's going to be a long time until I get a Riccar but until I do I will have vacuum bliss in my dreams. :)

  2. That gave me goose bumps. That is the vacuum of my dreams. I love to clean. I love the way a carpet looks when it is freshly cleaned. My sister gave me her Kirby.

  3. That's is hilarious! I have a Riccar Radiance. Michael Hokema gave us a great deal on one last year. I love it. I just wish that I liked to use it as much as you.
