For The Infrequent Cleaner
Are you a neat freak? Do you clean every few days because you just love keeping your place tidy af? Then we’ve got exciting news: you don’t need to buy this vacuum cleaner.
No, we’re serious. This isn’t your typical reverse psychology logic puzzle. We’re not going to spend a ton of time sarcastically maligning its great list of features in an attempt to prove you actually SHOULD buy this vacuum. If you’re really that into cleaning, you need to get a stick vac, like this one we’ve sold before. They’re light. Their cute little bin is easy to empty. They can be broken down for certain jobs, built up for others. It’s what you need.
But what about for those of you who are, how should we say this, not exactly clutter-averse? For those of you who can’t tell which is louder–the sound of the vacuum’s motor or the radio-static-like rumble of three months’ worth of grit and grime being pulled up from the carpet’s fibers? For those of you who step on something cold and think it’s a spill only to find that it’s actually a penny, dropped and left there because, honestly, it’s just not worth the effort of bending over? For those of you whose white socks’ soles can go gray on a trip from the couch to the bookshelf? What kind of vacuum cleaner should YOU get?
The Shark Rotator.
Unlike stick vacs, you can’t charge this thing. You have to plug into the wall. And that’s good, because we know your type. If you take a break from cleaning, there’s no way you’re coming back to finish the job an hour later. Also unlike stick vacs, this thing sucks hard. But don’t worry. It’s not a total clunker. Its “Dynamic Swivel Steering” (which sounds really jargon-y but is actually pretty cool) makes it easy to navigate around all your hand-me-down furniture. Not to mention, it has a canister that can detach for dealing with hard-to-reach areas (as if you’re going to actually clean the surfaces you can’t see, lol!).
Unfortunately, though, there are a few issues. It doesn’t do well to suck up entire old pizza boxes. It can’t do the dishes. It can’t iron pants. And it won’t take your dog for a walk on cold winter nights when you’re just not in the mood.
We know, we know. We’re frustrated too.
Maybe some features to consider for the future, Shark?
