Shark VS Dyson

[sugarmamma]

I've had my Dyson Animal for about 8 years and I love it. I have had a few smaller shark vacs and they all failed to suck

Rainbows too if you are going for heartattack effect lol

I have the regular Animal. Before the ball came out.

I bought the ball because I liked the way it could make a quick turn around objects, but now regret the purchase. I can use all my accessories with my new Bissell, so it wasn't a complete waste. I went hog wild buy accessories. I thought I'd use the machine forever!

I have the animal canister which is still easy to move around plus I get the ceiling fans and tops of door frames.

My in-laws used to sell Rainbows door-to-door. My FIL actually quit college, a year away from a degree in Pharmacy, to sell these vaccuums with his wife, and that's what they did while having three small children at home. But they all (including DH) RAVE about the Rainbow. The in-laws still have two at home. But why anyone would spend thousands on a vaccuum is beyond me! Especially from a door-to-door salesman! That is probably why it only lasted a couple of years and DH is beyond frugal because he says he grew up poor. But boy, were their carpets clean lol.

I think door to door is a dead market, but my grandmas swire by it from kitchen gadgets, clotges, furniture, vacuums to health and beauty aids.

I think it was because back when so many women were at home with their kids or otherwise they had a real convience in a sales person comming by especially offering in home demos.

My grandma sold tupperware from the 60s to the 90s. She loves anything involving inhome parties.

I think probably 80% of my friends are consultants for businesses with in-home parties, whether they are candles, spices, beauty, even financial advice!

My in-laws did the door-to-door selling in the 80's. Even back then, Rainbows cost around $2000. I'm not sure what they would be today! DH said his mom would use it to clean up the carpets if the kids threw up on them I still don't think I'd spend thousands though. If I had more thousands to spend, I'd use them on tropical vacations

That's so cool your friends all do it are they full time or just like side income?

I'm thinking about picking up Tommyboy Tool rep-ing for side $$$.
