    My youngest son loves the vacuum. He will always calm down when I turn on the vacuum.

  2. I tweeted! http://twitter.com/ingoodcents. I think the vacuuming experience that sticks out most in my mind was when I was vacuuming someone elses home for them. Their carpet was all ratty and every 5 seconds, I got caught on a peice of carpet. It took forever and was so annoying! My dogs and youngest daughter are scared of the vacuum, so when I clean here, they run in all directions screaming and barking!

    Vacuums work wonders for fussy babies. Calms him down every time.

  4. Stacy C. says:

    Well my story is about my daughter who is 25y and is afraid to vacuum, every time she vacuums she has broken the vacuum.. Started when she was a teenager… I think it is because she does not pick up the big pieces off the floor first…

  5. Kimberly says:

    Be best (or probably worst actually, lol) vacuum experience was when I first moved into my own place. I was young and excited to vacuum (crazy I know) my very own carpet. I started smelling smoke but wasn’t really sure why.. My mom never made me vacuum the floor and so I thought maybe that was normal.. and then suddenly smoke started coming up out of the bottom of the vacuum! I was so freaked out I ripped it out of the plug and threw it outside thinking it was going to catch the whole place on fire!

    There was no fire just random smoke thank goodness. I still don’t know why it happened but still to this day I think about it every time I turn on the vacuum and always have my nose ready to smell for possible vacuum fires! :)

    I’m following you on Twitter and tweeted :) http://twitter.com/mygoodcents/status/1500046047

  6. I wrote a blog post about my experience with the vomiting vacuum here:

    Thanks so much for the contest! I’ve wanted a Roomba for years, so my fingers are crossed!!!

    I follow on Twitter posted a tweet: http://twitter.com/NwsArdtheblogs

    I don’t have a funny one but I know a story of what happened to my husband and his brother. Little brother was messing with the vacuum instead of doing his chore and decided to give himself a “hickey” well when parents got home little brother blamed it on big brother and big brother got grounded!.

    Well this vacuum would be perfect for us. My daughter is in a very busy phase of her life right now and everytime I got to vacuum she grabs the cord and pulls it so it jerks her and she trys to stand in front of the vacuum while I do it which is scary. so i think we could really benefit from this.

  10. I was vaccuming around my old deaf cat. She never heard the vacumm…she didn’t notice….until it sucked up her tail! I had never seen her jump up so fast and SCREECH so loud either…I LMAO.. but then felt horrible. My poor kitty.

  11. forgot to put my twitter addy in the body but it is in the website place :)

    Let’s see, my daughter received these little tiny disney princesses for christmas. THeir shoes were are about the size of a quarter of my pinky nail. She loved them more than anything else she received. I explained to her how tiny they were and how easily they can get lost. Well….I vacuumed one up. Yup, she was devastated. I could have taught her a lesson to not leave her toys laying around, but instead I had to pull apart my vacuume and dig through the cat hair, dust and dirt to retrieve this tiny shoe. I don’t think i would have done it if she didn’t love it so much. She learned her lesson anyway because she never leaves them on the floor

    I have trouble vacuuming the pet hair off the furniture. I borrowed a friend’s vacuum and it worked wonderfully. When I ask where she got it, she had been dumpster diving!

  14. Jaimee says:

    My son used to be afraid of the vacuum, but now he loves playing with the toy vacuum cleaner and he likes cleaning up!!

  15. Katherine says:

    My dog attacks my vacuum. The edges are worn from him biting it. If I pick up the vacuum to take it upstairs he really goes berserk. Once it is back in the closet (its home) all is well and he can go back to sleeping. http://twitter.com/katmorton/status/1531058641
