Why oh why did I have to walk into Big Lots after work today?

I was walking by and this incredibly strong gravitational pull just yanked me in the door. Next thing I know I'm standing in front of the vacuums and this Hoover WindTunnel is calling my name. I'm screaming no! no! To Kirby I must be true! Next thing I know I'm sneaking up to the checkout, knowing everyone is whispering behind my back. I'm sooo ashamed! I think I need an intervention. "Hello, my name is Joe " everyone else says "hi Joe". I say "sniff sniff, I'm addicted to vacuums". LOL!!!
 
Joe,

Not to feel bad, Mark has a hoover as well...it is in the attic away from all the good vacuums...

It is a bagless tempo or something like that...we joke about it all the time....not good enough to be with the rest of the collection...he tells all his friends...mine was sentenced to the attic...LOL


The bagged version of the Wind Tunnel is a great vacuum. When folks ask me what to buy, I tell them to go to Mennards and pick the the 89.00 version they sell...I think it says Tempo as well. Then I tell them to purchase the Y Filtrete type bags...can't go wrong.

It has been a Hoover week for me

First a convertible, now the WindTunnel. I already have a self propelled Concept One and a NIB Tempo. These Hoovers are multiplying like rabbits (or should I say Easter Bunnies?) :-)
 
I saw some refurbished Oreck vacuums for $99 a few weeks ago there. Already owning two Orecks made it easy (somewhat) to leave empty handed. ;)
 
They had an Oreck there too

No price on it, and none on the shelf other than the display model. I unboxed the WindTunnel last night. Couldn't even think of going to bed until I put it together. I was a little disappointed because the one on display was a beautiful metallic blue color, and mine is a metallic grey. It still looks nice, but I really was hoping it would be blue. It was the only one they had, besides the display so I guess you gets what you gets. I'm gonna take some pictures of it later today, and then put it through it's paces to see how well it performs. All in all, I think I'm gonna like it.
 
Wow an Oreck for 99 bucks, Ill have to check out my BigLots, Im glad you got the Windtunnel "Joe" lol. I must atted an intervention to :)
