Thanks for the clarification. In practice I keep it to 8 and above, but I think we can all use whatever gauge we’re comfortable with.

Thanks!!

That’s poop test to the extreme lol! For what it’s worth, I totally would have trashed it too. Even one of the good towels.

Yes! I’ve used it for quite a while and I have very long and thick hair. I haven’t had any problems with it getting tangled.

@@mindybradford thank you so much

So glad you enjoyed!!

What an awesome way to stay on top of it!

Thanks for sharing! I think you’re right about fewer dishes. Since I reduced how many I have, I just don’t have a choice but to wash. The sooner I run out bowls and storage containers to eat cereal out of, the better 😂

Thanks!

Awesome!!

It’s made all the difference!

I hear you. My significant other doesn’t want a cleaner in his space so I have to respect that. It’s just not right for everyone, although I have happily handed over the task in the past. If hiring someone to clean isn’t right for you, maybe you can find other tasks to hire out that aren’t so intrusive. At one point I hired out cooking! Best of luck in finding balance ❤️

This is my exact issue. Omg. Someone else feels this way

@@WigRealtor glad to know I’m not alone or strange lol

@@mindybradford great idea and I do have a mobile service to come clean my car 1-2x a month and I do use a meal prep service. I may need to sit down and listen other “non intrusive” tasks someone else can do

Awesome tip!

My basement is my dirty little secret… except it’s not so secret anymore 😂 Good luck - you can do it!!

Thanks! Since I’ve started having only 3 to 5 toys upstairs at a time things have been more peaceful.

It’s all good, as long as they’re your cats 😂

@@mindybradford OMG 😆 good point! Yes they are 🤣

Thanks!

Thank you for the lovely words. I believe we're all doing the best we can. Best of luck with your attic!

I hope so too! I've had mine for several months now and I still absolutely love it.

What bridge did you wakeup under?

Kinda mean, but not entirely wrong lol 😂

Talking through it is nice so watchers can listen while organizing themselves! 😉

Thank you so much for the encouraging words! I'm definitely into prioritizing myself and my family rather than finding the perfect way to declutter in this season of my life.

You talk to much and not work

😂

Check out which ones have the trigger vs the on/off button. The v12 has an on/off button which is much better, otherwise your finger gets tired holding the trigger. The v12 will be the lightest. If you have mostly hard floors, I will go with the v12 based on weight and on/off. I get about 35 minutes of run time which is plenty of time for me. I don’t usually do the whole house at once, but I think I could. The canister doesn’t fill as fast with hard floors so you won’t have to empty it as often as with carpet. I use the attachments to vacuum the ceiling and really like it. It also works great on furniture and in the car. The gen 5 I believe has an extra battery which is not an option on the V12 or V12. If emptying the canister is annoying to you then you can get an outsize model, but it will be heavier. I like the size, weight, price, and usability of the v12, but I haven’t tried the others. I think they’re all great options!

Definitely! Good addition

Nice! Way to get started 👏

Smart use for them!

There is a run time that's relatively accurate on the top display of the vacuum. How much time depends on the setting (Eco, Med, Boost). On Med, it uses an auto setting based on how dirty your floor is (fancy, right?!), and it's usually around 35 minutes for me. I only vacuum a couple rooms at a time and it's more than enough battery (usually 25 to spare), but you may come up short if you want to do an entire house. The battery is built in and it attaches to a charger on the wall and a full charge from empty takes a few hours, so a second battery isn't an option. Hope this helps!

Thank you!

Yay! Thank you!

I love that!

I hope so too!

While it's running, there is a "count down" on the screen telling you how much time is left, and it changes based on the setting you're using. Mine usually lasts around 25 minutes, and it does take a few hours to fully charge. Is it worth the money? That's hard to answer. For me, hands down yes, I would spend the money all over again. I also have a couple friends that swear by their Dyson stick vacs. If you don't want to jump in that deep you may find a great deal on Black Friday or other big savings days like Amazon Prime Day.

I'm confused. Dyson states that the vacuum runs for 60 minutes after a full charge.@@mindybradford

Physical ability, or inability, another excellent reason to consider help. Best of luck and health.
