Time for a new vacuum cleaner!
Well, it’s been four years since we bought our new Roomba vacuum cleaner! Our new vacuum cleaner isn’t new anymore! I sent it down the hall as usual, on its weekly tour. It usually runs an hour. I usually hear it running; and I’m aware it’s working. For some reason I became aware that it was not working. We took it apart, checked it all over, but evidently it died of a heart attack. No reviving, no emergency repair, off to the trash I guess! I’ll keep the brushes and get rid of the rest.
So after several weeks, we found another one on sale. Very lucky, I think, my wife saw a flyer that came in the newspaper and off we went that weekend to get a new one! I didn’t say anything at first; but I didn’t think it worked as good. (I try not to start any arguments, you know how that is!) But I decided to say something anyway this time. Lo and behold before I could say anything my wife said “I don’t think that new vacuum cleaner works as good!” I said “I think you’re right!” She said “I’ve cleaned it once and discovered that the brushes are not as stiff as the old one, I’m thinking I might try to change them out as they look pretty much the same.” But we’ll see, at least this one works! And I really don’t have much time to play with it.
