#33 Teresha @ Marlie and Me

Around here they joke about my use of the vacuum.  Sure, I use it a lot, but when you have an awesome vacuum like the Dyson Animal, who wouldn’t?

At school, my son had to cut out pictures of things from a magazine to illustrate what he would buy everyone for Christmas.  Can you guess what my gift was?  Yes, a vacuum.

My mother-in-law makes a joke before she comes over wondering if I will be vacuuming when she gets here.  Most of the time I am.

It’s almost Christmas, and if you still have some shopping left, and have some lucky person on your list that you were considering getting a Dyson for this year, there is no time like the present, because from now until the end of the year, when you purchase a Dyson vacuum at Sears, you get a FREE DYSON TOY VACUUM!

If you have always wanted a Dyson for yourself, this gives you a great excuse to finally treat yourself and get one, because the kids will enjoy it too!

This Dyson toy vacuum is the perfect compliment to Mom’s (or Dad’s) Dyson vacuum.  My kids both push other toys around the house pretending to vacuum while I vacuum and my daughter loves to try and take the accessories off mine.  With this one she can have her very own, her size and it even works!  There is gentle suction that picks up small pieces and the clear bin area replicates the motion of a real Dyson by spinning colorful particles around when you turn it on.   The actual collection area for the debris is in the back of the vacuum, separate from the clear bin area.

The Dyson toy vacuum has a detachable wand that also has gentle suction and 3 additional hand tool attachments.  It takes 4 “C” batteries and your kid is all set to help out with the household chores.

The look and feel of it really resembles an actual Dyson, so the kids will be THRILLED to be able to vacuum just like Mom or Dad but not get yelled at for playing with the real vacuum.

I received a toy Dyson for my kids, and I played with it myself then put it away…it will be underthe tree for them Christmas morning and I know they will be very excited.  With the accessories, the cyclonic motion, and the actual suction that can pick up small particles, it is fun with a purpose.   Not only do they get to pretend to be just like me with their Dyson, it actually works so they can feel a real sense of accomplishment when helping me vacuum.

It is my understanding that Sears will be running this promotion until the end of the year at all Sears Hometown Stores.  I do not believe it is available at Sears department stores, just the Hometown Stores and you can find a location near you on their website using the store locator.

In order to help me spread the word about the FREE toy Dyson with purchase Sears, Dyson has offered up one of their DC31 handheld vacuums to one lucky reader.  Dyson also sent me one of these and at first I wasn’t sure if I needed one considering how often I vacuum.  I. Was. Wrong.  I love it.  It lets me do quick pickups of cookie crumbs, Christmas tree needles, clumps of dog hair, and more.

Dyson DC31 is a handheld vacuum ideal for quick pick-ups and spot cleaning. Includes dual power mode that gives longer run-time for large jobs or extra suction for stubborn dirt. Powered by the new Dyson digital motor – three times faster, the most power efficient.

All Dyson handheld vacuums have:

No loss of suction: Root Cyclone™ technology means Dyson handheld vacuums don’t lose suction power as you clean.

No extra costs: All Dyson handheld vacuums are bagless, so there are no costly bags to replace. They also come with washable filters and free shipping.

Hygienic bin emptying: Minimizes risk of contact with dirt.

2 year warranty: Parts and labor are covered for 2 years.
