[NAGDU] Guide dogs and vacuums

Wed Jun 22 14:01:27 UTC 2016

 I've got a carpet sweeper along with a vacuum at home. C love the carpet sweeper, because I also have a plush carpet. It's so soft, and it's  so maneuverable. I love it because I have a carpet in a pret convenient place, but there is tonsof stuff on it, like a my chair and an automon1andit's surrounded by a bet, a wall with abathroom and a helf of collectibles, and then on the right side, the dresser. Plus, if you maintain it, it gets more out than the vacuum cleaner for plaush bcarpeting. Another thing I love about it is that I don't disturb anyone. That means you don't have to worry about what time you vaccuum.  Sent from my iPhone

I wasn't here when that happened, so no clue how many pieces or how complex that was. Operating the thing is super easy and it is easy to empty the canister. The amount of stuff it pulled from the carpet is impressive and a little scary.
