    This is how it works here. She hates when I rinse the dishes while she washes because I will send stuff back to her to clean again.

    I'm also no longer allowed to watch while she's cleaning the bathrooms...

    Bring her along on another run. I hope to make more in the future. And was hoping she could have come to Centrailia, but had family to visit.
    I'm out. Thank you all for the laughs.

    She cleans the house, you change the belt on the vacuum as required. This sounds like a good deal to me. I have nobody to clean my house, I have to do it myself.:D

    his way. also on hard wood floors it’s best to not have the brushes on, because over time they can put very fine scratches on it and won’t look good.

    Haaha this is great, Ive been married for 6 years and this is just perfect. Ill just show this thread to my wife. I think it is hilarious that she got on here to see what was going on. Keep up the fun and teasing is great, i think you have to be able to do it lightheartedly right?

    So what does the manual say by chance that you still have it. Granted us men we hate to read them but the factory did make them for some type of argument breaker.

    I'm pretty sure that you are technically correct. What's it worth to you?

    In the long run let her vacuum any way she wants. You will NEVER hear the end of this argument, plus if it burns out you always know what to get her for Christmas & Birthdays.

    no vote here. maybe both of you can sit down and read the instructions together, then you both will be right.

    Mine's at least that. I considered replacing it with a bagless awhile back. When I priced them out:eek:, I reconsidered.

    I like having old stuff around the house. It's money in the bank to take vacations, buy toys, etc.
