   My dream house would have a whole-house built-in vacuum system. Have you ever seen one of those? I saw one in a demo house once, and in the kitchen they had a flap in the baseboard with a button beside it that you kick, and the flap opens up and the vacuum starts sucking, and you just sweep your trash into it – no dustpans, no last little tiny line of dust that you can’t sweep up and have to get the dust buster for.

   *sigh*

   Maybe someday we’ll really be able to build our own house.

   Kelly, Yes I know about those, I used to really want a system installed, but now it doesn’t matter as much to me. I really DO like the Dirt Devil broom, and it’s alright to have to empty it every so often into the garbage too. With it every little little thing goes into the broom holding part, and that is sweet, no matter where in a room I am, to not have to sweep everything to one spot, as a whole house vacuum would need me to do, though I DO think they are worthy systems, indeed, just that I don’t have a way to get one now and really don’t mind the Dirt Devil. I mind MORE the “get it washed” stage of hard floors, and that is something else, so … 🙂 FWIW it works OK for me now.
