I love my Oreck, but vacuums are definitely kind of like potato salad. :)

In Reply to: My sister swears by her Dyson. Costly, 400+, but will last. - She had Oreck, didn't like it. nm
Real specific to the particular person. Have a great day!

Glad you are not awake - I wanted a potato salad recipe!

Except I made the potato salad yesterday.

Vacuums
I like Hoovers and they recently got good reviews from Consumer Reports.
I'll tell you, though, that I'm very sorry I bought a bagless with a HEPA filter. It's a real pain. One of the stupidest ideas of this era.
The filter clogs quickly--much faster than a bag--and you have to take the vacuum somewhere (in my condo, the kitchen--they'd shoot me if I did it outside), take off the canister, shove the whole thing into a bag, then drag out the filter and literally scrape off the mess. While doing that, all the dust and fluff the filter caught comes loose, poofs up all over, and flies around.
It's all up your arms, your neck, down your shirt, in your hair and up your nose, and all down your clothes. It's horrible.
You end up with more in the air than you ever did before. I have to take a big load of Benadryl now just to vacuum and I'm looking to get a good old BAG model the next time I see a good price on one.
Some lady in the store was buying a bag-style. She told me not to buy the bagless, but I didn't listen.
Before you buy one, make sure you try a friend's first. And clean it out.
Ugh. Disgusting. The top-fill bags were better any day!
Oreck's made in the USA also!
Oreck!! The BEST! & Hurricane Katrina
They are a company in New Orleans, I believe, and in chatting with their reps, they said how much their company was flattened by Katrina. I ordered mine right after the hurricane - had to wait a bit, but SO worth it. I have since learned that most hotels use Orecks for cleaning - they are AMAZING. Only wish I had one years ago...And yes, the little one is awesome, too!! I look forward to vacuuming - sick, huh?!
vacuuming - either the vacuums are too heavy or they don't pick up anything....nm

Her problem with Oreck was that it's rectangular and doesn't get the edges well.

I bought one of those $60 bagless Dirt Devil Breeze vacuums at
K-Mart, and I hate it. It's loud, difficult to push around, messy to empty, and causes shoulder pain. It was kind of a vacuuming emergency because we had just had new carpeting put in and my Electrolux wasn't working. It cost $29 to fix the 15-year-old Electrolux, so the Dirt Devil is just collecting dust. I love my Electrolux, but I got it for free. I won't pay an arm and a leg for a vacuum.
That's potato, without the E.
Unless you are Dan Quail! LOL Couldn't resist...
Potato? maybe not so uncommon . . .
I did a report about removing a potato, wasn't baked, wasn't wrapped in foil, wasn't removed from the rectum either, just raw, and they had to remove it from a lady, who evidently forgot about it, she went because it started smelling so bad, and it was sprouting.

Pasta salad
I am making this as we speak.
1lb box rotini pasta
add 1 bag frozen vegetables at the end of cooking time. Your choice. I use California mix, broccli, cauliflower, carrots.
Drain and cool.
When cool add 1 bottle ranch dressing, or pepper ranch, or Italian dressing. Any kind of dressing will do.
Add 1 can sliced olives. Sometimes I add artichoke hearts chopped up, sometimes some pepperoni chopped.
Mix well and chill well. Just before serving I mix in about a 1/4 cup grated cheese.
Delicious.

Easy crab salad on crackers
I don't know if everyone would like crab on crackers, but here is a quick recipe just in case.
1 package of Louis Kemp crab
1 small tub of cream cheese
3 to 4 green onions (using the whole stalk)
In a food processor, chop the crab and onions, mix in the cream cheese, and chill overnight. Serve with any kind of crackers.
Hope this helps!
