So remember when I had that no-good-very-rotten-bad-day?
Well that same week both my blender and vacuum died. As in... would not work at all anymore and required replacement.
And with all bad news... must come some good news. We replaced both with nicer models and are VERY Happy.
We got this fancy Dyson DC-24 (a splurge, we know!) and are loving it. John is determined to vacuum every day until "we get the cat hair under control", ie we don't have to empty the whole cartridge every time we use it. Our first run we filled it for each room in the apartment... strong vacuum or disgusting apartment? You decide.
We stumbled upon a Health Master at Kohls for a great price and snatched it up. It is similar to a vitamix in that it can do more sophisticated blending (nut butters, can boil soups, make ice cream and sorbet). We have been making sorbet virtually every other day with this-- it is so tasty. Also having creamier soups, and hoping to try on hummus soon.
What kitchen or home appliances can you not live without?
P.S. does this post put me in the league with folks who are jazzed about vacuum cleaners for Christmas? YIKES. Adulthood is here. I mean I didn't even see the midnight premiere of breaking dawn!! Life is virtually over*.
*cue sarcasm.
Loved this post! Made me wish my vacuum would break soon too!!
ReplyDeleteI remember on our 4th anniversary we got a new vacuum and I was pretty excited about it and a girl in my ward who was newly married seemed appalled that I was happy about getting a vacuum for an anniversary gift. I laugh at that now because it's what we really needed at the time and I'm sure she's come across a few anniversaries by now that aren't all about roses and romance. Yep, you're officially a grown-up!
