I liked everything about this book, but I especially loved the contrast between Jacob as a young man and his life as a 90 (or 93) year old. It’s one of those stories that older people tell that makes young people realize they need to sit down and talk with the elderly people they know, or this type of story is going to be gone forever. Jacob’s story of the circus and falling in love were so moving, but when you see what happens to Jacob as an old man, it is bittersweet. I was expecting the end to be much more of a downer – I thought the ending was very uplifting.
A Woman s Heart
Just so you know where I’m coming from, this vacuum was purchased to replace a 10 year old upright. My old 10 year old vacuum was working horribly. It wasn’t picking up anything and it was a total workout to use. Upon throwing it away, I ripped it apart to fit it into a standard trash bag and found out that the brush belt was broken, so the brush wasn’t spinning at all. Lesson learned, keep your vacuum properly maintained. Onto the new vacuum.
This new vacuum is extremely basic. And what I mean by basic is that it doesn’t have allot of frills; things like lights or indicators, like the more expensive models. I don’t really need any of that stuff. I just need a good working vacuum, and this fit the bill.
Putting it together was simple. Not too terrible. It was put together in less than 15 minutes. Again, once you put it together, you won’t be blown away. It’s extremely basic looking. What can you expect for $76.50, shipped?
I have three bedrooms and an office with carpeting. All the carpets are fairly new, about 2 years old.
I was pleasantly surprised at how well this vacuum worked. There is no doubt that this thing can get the job done. The brush was really strong and helped facilitate in pushing the vacuum forward, made it an absolute breeze to vacuum all my carpets. It picked up anything and everything that was on the carpet. I’ve had it for over a month and I do the carpets at least one a week. Sometimes, I’ll just take it out to do a nice quick cleaning.
The brush on this is very strong. I have thick pile and you can hear the motor working when I set the brush low. I don’t want to work the motor too much so I raise the brush a little. The suction on this is very strong as well. The cord is long enough for me, no complaints.
I’m about to purchase an extension hose, bags and belts. The extension hose on this unit is not very long at all. Maybe 4-5 feet max? Maybe six. It just doesn’t seem long enough, the reason I’m buying an extension.
In closing, I
