A Terrible Night Which Made That Night Memorable Night Of My Life - But Dirt Devil Bagless Upright Vacuum Was The One Which Helped Us



In the late autumn the creepy crawlers came scurrying into our home from their outside nests in search of refuge from the future winter winds and cold. If there is one thing I can't bear it is spiders. One night I was awoken by the howling storm and a frightening dream to discover with horror, just above my head on the ceiling was a horrible, furry, eight legged creature which seemed to sense my fear and came creeping towards me in a slow but determined manner. I shouted, but it kept coming.

I woke my husband who had lost in the world of dreams and pushed him, half-awake through the hall shouting 'Bring the vacuum cleaner, its time to go spider-busting'. It was simply when we turned on the lights that we saw with utter despair that the arachnid aggressor was not alone - he had an army - all through the house they were scattered, stooping in corner, creeping down walls. Right, it was time for concerted action.

We woke the children and luckily we had our own arsenal of weapons in the form of three powerful cleaning tools - the Dirt Devil bagless upright vacuum, I picked this one as I've always loved the bag less option; The Dirt Devil upright vacuum was my husband's choice, and my son handled the Dirt Devil Featherlite upright vacuum - bless him he is just 5 but he could handle the 14lb Featherlite no problem and thought this midnight game a great fun! In the mean time, our 3 year old ran round the residence in ecstasy at the mad excitement and commotion.

Well you should have seen the three of us running around the house, there were screams - of delight, and dismay - as the spiders were sucked up or managed to flee the strong dirty devil suction and rush for brief sanctuary under a cupboard or bookcase. After an hour, the house was gleaming as every bit of carpet and floorboard, each curtain and piece of soft furnishing had been given the once, twice and thrice-over from our intrepid dust-busters.

The powerful motors on our Dirt Devils made the cleaning quick and effectual and the remarkable 25 foot cables meant that we could cover the complete house from merely one power point. When finally we'd finished, and not a furry leg or web can be seen in all the house, we were satisfied. We were drained but happy. We gratefully packed away our Dirt Devil friends. There was no doubt, they'd been our Angels tonight.
