OK, you’ve got your German-made levels and saws, your bags are Oxy, the hammer’s titanium, your oil-lubed compressor is quietly humming in the corner, and your feet are shod with Red Wings.
So what is DW vacuuming up with around the house? A Dyson ball-foot, of course!
Got her one yet?

Vita Mix first thing we got on credit...do you use it? We got it for the soup making speil , man, it makes some permanently foamy soup! We've had it for over 20 years, and the only thing we actually found it worked great for is Daquiris, and neither one of us really like them<G> Dang, I'm not even sure if I know where it is now. LOL Don't worry, we can fix that later!
Get's used daily. mostly for my wife's health shake drink in the morning, sometimes to crush ice, occasionally for soups.

"I wonder if a vibrator is a tool"
Now now Oracle...
anything that gets the excess air out...and helps things settle...down a bit...is INDEED, a "tool"...
<g>Of all the things that I have lost, I miss my mind the most!
"...anything that gets the excess air out..."
Well, women seem to have plenty of excess hot air...

Does she clean up befor the cleaning lady comes so she doesn't think you're slobs?
We're gonna go the cleaning lady route. With my wife back to work we're going to do as little of that stuff as we can and enjoy life for a change.
Did think about buying a dyson though. Looks cool. Not sure if it really works.
confused. got all the othert stuff fugured out but cant fugure out what exactly does

cheers. Ill buy.
it depends on the context.
if yer talking yellow tools, "DW" = deWalt
if yer talking wimmens...it depends on the context (LOL!)...
could be any, or none, of the following:
dear wife (the most typical implication)
dead weight
da woman
dead wringer
dispicable wench
etc....

That Dysan guy sounds like a sissy to me.
I have two. One for the carpets at my place, and one in the van for remodels. You should see the housewives eyes light up when the first tool I unload is the Dyson. Worth every penny.
Does the Dyson really work. DW has had it with the Orek, and I've just about had it listening to her complain, not that she really does that much complaining.Let's not confuse the issue with facts!
Honestly, I can't really tell the difference. I turn it on and it sucks up the dust. I don't abuse it, but it seems to stand up to it. I've been using it for work about 6 months, so time will tell.
BTW, I bought mine refurbished.

Consumer reports did a recent study of vacuums. The Oreck, the Dyson, and The Kirby's were all included.
They decided that the best bang for your buck is a Eureka.
Unless you're the lead dog, the view just never changes.
My mom just got a Dyson, I don't know if it's the ball, it's an awful purple color, man that thing sucks.Heck, Hook,Huck, & Hack....UNITE!
So that's what a Dyson is. I have seen them but didn't recognize the name.
Mean looking thing. Here we like something more civilized, a German Miele.
Miele. It's so quite that even the cats don't run. Plus she swears it's way better than the old electrolux.
My wife drags around the Festool CT33, Its quiet and has tons of suck. The attachments that I got for it work great in our NO CARPET house. She wants the CTMINI for dedicated housework....It sure is hell when the wife insists on having fine german tools for housework.

No. We got the DW14 Animal instead. The Dyson ball has a very limited number of attachments available, and there are only rumors as to the future availability of additional attachments like a mini-turbine head and a low-reach tool. I didn't want to take that chance of being disappointed. The attachments for the older models don't fit the Ball.
I pitched the Kenmore canister vac off the rear deck last week - it was interesting to see it explode on the lawn. The Dyson shows up this Wednesday or Thursday, and we may finally have a clean floor.
what idoes DW stand for?
