It is genuinely embarrassing how much more I am motivated to vacuum my apartment after finding a Dyson V11 battery powered vacuum on a smokin’ deal about 6 months ago. “Plugging the vacuum in” should not be such a hurdle to keeping my house clean… and yet here we are.

    My life has become about either adding or removing friction in my life to circumvent my self sabotage, so yeah, I get it

    Major improvement over the stock Dyson: replacing the dying battery with a power drill battery adapter. The big ones easily have 2-3x the capacity of a new stock battery, which let me vacuum my whole flat at least 3 times before swapping in a fresh battery executive dysfunction kicks in.

    Same. Dealing with a cord was enough hassle to very rarely ever use it.

    my hurdle is moving it up and down stairs, especially in my narrow basement stairs

    so I have a shitty little old vacuum that lives plugged in downstairs, and the good vacuum lives on the main floor

    problem is it's a bag vacuum, not canister... I hate the subscription & garbage aspect of it, so I tend to use it only when necessary
