I had been waiting for its arrival for a long time already. Not actively, every day, as then I would probably make it happen earlier. I thought about it just here and there, when I saw those never-resting dust particles playing graciously on the contours of the sun's rays in the living room.
I knew a little girl. She was nine. Maybe ten when used to observe the myriad of sophisticated ballerinas in their tutus performing their ethereal air dance. She used to stay in that activity, which actually can be seen as a very passive one, for a while. The last time I met her was the morning when her awakening was bathed in severe pain and the several black circles under her eyes were intense.
What are you doing? Sitting on the floor and looking at the air?
But it is not just an invisible mixture of gases. There are moving critters running and dancing and playing and jumping around. You see them just in the presence of the light. Don't you hear the music?
The ordered item arrived a few days ago. Being beaten by backache didn't stop me from getting up and opening the door for the delivery guy. Raindrops on the top of the box? Not too many, it didn't damage the content. The long-awaited meeting with this item can't be spoiled by some raindrops. Anyway, it was protected in transparent plastic wrapping.
Excitement. Unboxing. Funny, it could indeed be a documented one, but who cares about a little electric device? Nothing special.
It was anyway a cheap one. $65. Not bad for a vacuum cleaner, compared to the price of those I saw a few weeks ago. There was another one I liked, twice as expensive. The characteristics were the same though, so I would pay just the name. One of the things I checked before making the order was the sound level. 78dB. It is ok, the other one, the expensive had its sound level at 80dB, so this is better in that sense. The power of both was the same, 800W, also they had the same energy classification, A.
Let's see more characteristics... The dust tank is 2 litres. I don't think I have that much dust in the home, or maybe yes? The previous vacuum cleaner died recently, even it was just a couple of years ago that I bought it. My mother's vacuum cleaner lasted for at least 20 years. But probably more. I will check that promised high efficiency and low consumption of the motor, the feeling that the chromed telescopic tubes can give and how soft the "extra soft" rubber wheels are.
There is also a carrying handle, but why would I need that? I don't want to carry a vacuum cleaner. Isn't it supposed to follow my dance through the rooms of this apartment? This is disappointing, seems that the answer is negative. It has only 7 metres of action ratio... whatever it means. But the wheels are wheels, they have to move.
The airflow is 25 l/sec. What does that mean at all? Is it much? Little? I hope enough, and the new friend will not be suffocated quickly when faced with my pace.
We will get along well, it's just a matter of time. And getting to know it. I read that I can't vacuum water, for example. Also, I can use it only for domestic cleaning, for dust and dry dirt from floors, carpets or rugs. No worries, it will not go to the streets as a dog on a leash.
The day will come when Mr AP 8030 will perform his first task, but he needs my assistance. I hope one of these days it will happen, maybe with music.
P.S. Dear @dswigle, I hope that this little story of buying and waiting for this vacuum cleaner fits the #MarketFriday community ;D
You know it will!!❤️ Who could resist a vacuum story with a twist? A pun, something done, and a lot of fun? I say that the fun hasn't even begun!
You are the true queen of all storytelling! It makes the entire post perk up with a smile, as I follow along, waiting for the punch line. You know I never do openings, just tear open the box and show what's inside. :)
I do like your vacuum, sort of a sassy little piece, with big tires and the color of teal, How delightfully chic! I think we should keep it, and give it a try.
You do the best stories! Thank you!
#MarketFriday began as a way to reach out across the globe and learn about different cultures through their markets, especially local markets and farmers' markets, and eventually branched out and evolved over time from straight shopping to a cultural affair as it highlights how we differ and then again, how much we are alike. We have become a melting pot of culture, but it is still the Rituals, Festivals, food, architecture, and even your language/languages that separate us... Along with the fact that these things are normal for us. There are unwritten rules that rule our social behaviors. I see this as allowing for increased tolerance between cultures and nations, and opportunities to come together on an even playing ground. A strong culture can be beneficial to a country as it promotes unity, especially during a crisis, peaceful debate, and open dialogue. I have learned so much about all of you and it has been an amazing experience. I can only hope that learning about each other can help us work together for a peaceful world.
Thank you for being a part of #MarketFriday
You are right, the fun hasn't even begun. But I must complain - Mr AP 8030 should behave better. That would be the real twist if it would do everything by itself. Maybe it could also cook and work instead of me... give lessons and all. Just then I could tell: I made a great deal with this purchase!
However, it is quite the opposite, I have to do his work too so that's why my response comes just now 😁
I'm looking for one that can cook, clean, and everything in between. I am le tired and I expect this shouldn't be too difficult to find.
Having to do his work too?
He is soooo fired!🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
You don't make me jealous with that machine since I use Sf3000 with accesories for cleaning my studio.
🤭🤣🤣🤣
jajajaja... eso sí que es de lujo, mi hermanito.
😂😂
unboxing, unboxing 😄
Wow, @pumarte, this is way better than my new device! Now you make me jealous 😜
Sf3000... ok, apuntado, voy a mirar si puedo conseguirlo, quizás el señor Amazon me ayuda 🤞
😂😂😂
😂😂😂
What a creative way to detail your vacuum purchase. Love it.
I don't know anything about this type of appliance because we don't use at home. Here the scourer and a dust pan solve the dust.
I hope your new acquisition behaves very well, cleans everything and goes where you need it to go without interruption. Greetings friend, happy Friday 🤗
Thanks, I tried to approach it from this side, bringing a little story, hopefully, a bit funny too about a so common thing, like a purchase of an electric device
It still didn't perform its first cleaning haha
Excellent purchase to remove those dusty ballerinas that are hanging around.
The music you chose to release and use is very appropriate and I love Queen!!!
I'm sure you'll document the day of the premiere!
Have a lovely Friday @mipiano 😀
Hehe, Queen. When I think about a vacuum cleaner I remember Freddie in this music video and his cleaning session 😜🎶
The day of the premier still didn't arrive 😂😂😂
That day will come, that is guaranteed.🤣
I believe appliances nowadays are made to live shorter lives so consumers buy and buy and business owners earn more. And wow your mom's vacuum cleaner, 20years of performing is record breaking. I hope it goes well with ypur new cleaning buddy.
Well, the quality of the devices is super low and the lifespan of the devices is too short compared to how it was some decades ago. Thanks, I also hope my new cleaning buddy will behave well and clean by itself everything.... oops, it needs my assistance 😄
Once I went for a bagless vacuum many years ago I never bought one with a bag again. Not that I had to buy many vacuum cleaners anyway. I got myself a very good and handy one from Bosch which still works perfect and I was lucky enough to find a Karcher vacuum next to a trash bin. I thought "that's probably damaged beyond repair but let's give it a try". In fact it wasn't even damaged at all! The dump asses that used to own it didn't even bother to clean its filter so when I did it worked perfect and still does. Sucks liquids too so I have it for heavy duty stuff :)
Enjoy your new one!
I already had a bagless one, though it broke. To be honest, I think I broke it hahaha, accidentally. So my husband tried to fix it and it all went wrong and it was no way to make it again how it was + it still didn't work 😂😂😂
Lucky you finding that one! Seems that people sometimes throw away good things.
Yess you bring with a great detail! I love checking the product as well but always took too much time because I never understood the technical words.
Sure, hope it useful and save time for you in a daily life!
I usually skip that part - reading the instructions 😂
II just liked to meet the new cleaning friend, though it still sleeps in its box. I put it back 😂
!LOL I would like to see this cleaner in action.
I need to buy one for our carpet/rug with a little more power.

Because it had two banks.

@mipiano, I sent you an $LOLZ on behalf of @tanjakolader
(4/4)
Use the !LOL or !LOLZ command to share a joke and an $LOLZ
😂😂😂
I would like to see it in action too, but it didn't want to clean by itself 😭
😂
When I was reading here, to my mind came the image of a little girl, 9 or 10 years old, sitting on the floor, and a light, like a proscenium one, illuminating the place where she plays with her fingers to catch dancers, maybe she just wanted to see them dance, but in her arms. And that image also resembles mine, as a child too, when I wanted to touch the porcelain crockery from which my grandmother took the ghosts (the dust). I used be quiet, playing with those ghosts. I even had an imaginary friend named Pineapple. I would talk to her and I think she always came with a halo of light.
I'm glad the vacuum cleaner has finally arrived and you can use it happily with liberating music.
;)
En la casa de Tita? 😇
Thanks, it arrived but imagine what - I put it back in the box and nada 😂
It doesn't want to go out and clean by itself. Maybe the model of @pumarte behaves better than this one 😤
😂
Sí, en la casa de Tita. En mi poemario, en la página 7, está ese pasaje de mi vida.

The way we see technology nowadays has progressed a lot and made our lives much easier. We pray that this item works well and makes your life easier. This has the advantage that cleaning the house becomes much easier.
Thanks, I also hope it will do its work, at least for some years.
