We don’t live in the 1970’s anymore which is probably a good thing for most of us as the styles were strange, the atmosphere was different, and the vacuums were not what they are today to say it kindly. But let’s forget about the first two, or at least try to and focus on what makes the vacuum cleaner so much better today.
I think a lot of it has to do with the availability of different accessories to use on different cleaning jobs. I can remember my old vacuum being a big ugly brown thing that had two accessories: a hard brush and a soft brush. Neither was a bad and I used them both, but they were limited to what they could do. Dyson however has a whole line of parts and accessories that I can buy for my new vacuum that I really love. My favorite being the Multi-Angle Brush because it makes cleaning fan blades easier than I could have ever imagined.
I know it doesn’t sound like a big deal, and that most of you already just get on your step stool and dust them off by hand, or ignore them like I used to, but the Dyson multi-angle brush is really a major convenience. It allows me to not have to get my face, clothes, or floors dusty from brushing the dirt off of the blades, I don’t have to try to lift my vacuum up off the ground, and I can get both sides of the blades.
What this tool is, is really an upright vacuum attachment specifically designed to go where your Dyson can’t go on its own. Although your Dyson is light I don’t think you are going to be lifting it over your head to get those fan blades, and even if you do that you aren’t going to get both sides of them. This goes for the tops and the bottoms of your shelves and cabinets as well as for the top of the fridge. They are all just hard places to clean.
But the Dyson multi-angle brush tries to make it easier for you by allowing you to adjust the positioning of the head so that it will lay flat on the top of a surface such as a fan blade meaning you can swiftly and simply just run it along the top of the blade to get all of the dust off. Or you can “angle” it to make it look inverted allowing you to clean the dust off of the bottom of the blade too.
With this tool I am now able to clean those areas that can quickly get gross without you knowing it on a regular basis meaning my house is better for my allergies and my son’s overall health.
In my opinion I would say take advantage of some of the new technologies that really make the vacuum a great tool for cleaning like the multi-angle brush or any of Dyson’s accessories.
