Do the Shake The Vac

 

So anyway, the vac had been losing its suction. A little at first, and then finally quite seriously. This, despite numerous emptyings, trappings and probings.

Being a Dyson, we knew this was literally not possible, so we were almost succumbing to the notion that it might be faulty. However, in one last desperate bid to sort it out, TL decided to probe the innermost parts of our suction device.

To say that this approach was successful would be something of an understatement. Almost anything would be something of an understatement.

Finally, the clear up. The contents of this dust pan represent roughly one quarter of the stuff that TL removed from the Dyson.

The Garden is covered in dust, the kitchen is covered in dust and there is a good scattering of dust around the house, and on TL for that matter. There is also a fair amount of sneezing going on. Still, all in a good cause.

We now have a fully working vac.

Now - how should we suck up all that mess?

He says it works ... I washed the filter too and haven't put it all back together again yet .....
I'm sure it WILL work though.

I had a similar thing with my tumble dryer. It has a condensing unit which collects the water and you empty every so often. And a mesh fluff filter thing. I was drying loads and they were taking forever and there was never much water when I emptied the reservoir thing either. So my friend came around and I asked what she thought was up with it as she has the same model. Took condensing unit out of dryer and gunk galore, fluff forever, etc.. You could have made a jumper out of the stuff, I had to take it into the garden and give it a good flush out with the hose. We now have a wool tree growing in our garden. Luvverly...

And no, I am not an automated robot although I sometimes feel like a one when doing the housework.
