My wife really wants a Dyson vacuum cleaner and I’m thinking of getting her one for Christmas, but…?
I see on the Lowes & Home Depot websites that there are a lot of different models. Can anybody tell we what the difference is between DC17, DC18, DC24, DC25, etc.???
Boy you guys are a lot of help (not). Look, I’ve been married for 13 years and I think I know my wife better than any of you do. The question wasn’t "should I get this for my wife for Christmas".
And just so you know…a couple years ago I surprised her at Christmas with a trip to Key West just for the 2 of us. I also spent a year going through our old photo albums and scanning all the photos and putting them to music to create DVD slide shows. And this year I drove my wife and kids and her elderly parents across country so my father-in-law could visit the last sister he has left alive. I do the dishes. I help with the kids, with the cooking, etc……..so don’t give me crap about not being thoughtful or romantic. Did it ever occur to people that if you show your love for your spouse on a daily basis then maybe they don’t expect you to make it all up once or twice a year at Christmas and Valentines Day?? Give me a break people.

I have a few friends who have Dyson’s they all agree that they do a good job, but that they could have spent a fraction of the money and gotten another vacuum that does a much better job. Consumer reports gave the Kenmore vacuums top ratings. They are less expensive and do a better job. The Dyson just looks cool and has a great ad campaign.
As far as getting your wife a vacuum cleaner for Christmas…Well, that is your call, but you will probably have a much happier wife if you got her something special just for her.
Anything you clean the house with isn’t a "gift" it is a necessity of adulthood. Go together and buy the vacuum. Get her something else for Christmas.
No woman "really wants" a vacuum cleaner as a present!!!
i don’t know but i like the dyson that pivots on the ball
Dude, don’t get your wife a vacuum cleaner for Christmas.
Do you want better garbage bags to take out the trash for Christmas?
I been married over 20 years and I know better than to get my wife an appliance for Christmas
my husband brought me a vaccum cleaner years ago for my birthday
we are no longer married
Gotta laugh. My husband did something like that, too, and I was SOOOO disappointed, the poor dear. Remember it everytime I use it. WAS practical. I think he got the message, and now asks for lists (which he loses, some fights about THAT.. but "Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus" – it’s a book)
Sorry, I am no expert on vacs, but the commercials for that vac with the rolly ball have me wistful, which is what the advertisers want, like with the Swiffer craze. Maybe Consumer Reports magazine has a recent rating on vacuums – your local library probably has a subscription so ask there.
Maybe you could give it to her on the "First Day of Christmas" so that she can have the "joy" of cleaning the house for the holidays with a new toy, and then get her a sexy present for Christmas – or new cologne, or powder to go with her cologne, or scented candles, blah, blah.
Presentation: Count back 12 days from Christmas (I don’t know whether you count Christmas Day or not). Wrap the vac in a string of colored lights that for ease you just buy new at a cheap dept store. Plug them in, turn off the lights (kids already in bed) and lead her into the living room-den. After she’s oohed and aahhed, explain that you knew that she wanted it and that you thought that her holiday season would be easier if she has it, but that it’s not her Christmas present.
Casperia you are really cool – think on this one it’s the best answer.
Believe us NO WOMAN WANTS A HOUSEHOLD GIFT FOR CHRISTMAS, BIRTHDAY OR VALENTINE ALL MEN TAKE NOTE!
