It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

CR top-ranked upright is Kenmore Progressive with Direct Drive 35922, for about $300 (Dyson is a lot further down the list). Top-ranked canister is Electrolux Oxygen3 Ultra EL 7020A for about $500, then three more Kenmore Progressives.

An online membership to CR is, IIRC ~$25, and probably totally worth it for a purchase like this. I signed on just to decide on a cell phone.

Well, I've never had it clog until trying to suck up the enormous quantity of pine needles left in the wake of my tree. What annoys me is the fact that they designed each end of the hose with a curved, non-removable as far as I can tell, plastic attachment that basically means you can't check for, or fix, clogs easily. Stoopid.

In the end, I basically had to beat the clog out of the hose.

I bought this one right before Christmas and with sales and an extra 10% off, it was $200. I love this vacuum. It tells you when there's no more dirt left to suck up. The first time I used it, the carpet looked like it did they day we moved in. It's very quiet, and perfect for allergies since it also uses a HEPA bag. I will never buy another. Me + the Kenmore = OTP.

Dyson? What Dyson?

Okay, duo or twin strollers and convertible car seats (not the scary eject from the base kind).

I love you. you rock.

All this vacuum talk reminded me that dad and I finally figured out what the roomba reminds us of : horseshoe crab.

Of course, I now want to attach a tail to it.

Hey, Dana! If I wanted to sign up for Putting The Sports Back In Sports Night, should I go with tennis or hockey?
