For those vacuuming haters....when I lived in the U.S. my absolute favorite thing was the Eureka SHark vacuum cleaner. It is cordless, so you don't have to keep stopping to plug in, it goes flat, so it will clean under furniture, it swivels, so it is easy to manuever, it does stairs, hardwoods, and carpet....and I loved mine!! My DH used to joke that it was like an extra body appendage...I was always pushing it around!! Target sells them, and they only cost $50. I highly recommend it to everyone......
