Dyson Ball DC24 Vacuum-

A friend of mine bought a Dyson Ball vacuum cleaner.

It's a nice light machine, but there is one thing that is really sucky about it: It has the shortest cord on a vacuum cleaner that either she or I have ever seen. You have to unplug it each time you are done with a room and plug it into an outlet in each room. With Orecks or Eurekas or a Dirt-Devil, you can do a few rooms before you have to change outlets.

Not so with this Dyson. Clearly, it was designed by a man, and I do not mean that in a good way.

Will not make a short cord joke. Will NOT make a short cord joke. Will REFRAIN from making a short cord joke.

But dang, it's killing me.

I tried it out. It does steer very well on that ball gizmo. This model is light, unlike the earlier ones, which are heavy. On a rug that had been vacuumed the day before with an Oreck and that looked clean, the Dyson picked up an amazing amount of cat hair.

But the cord is so fucking short.
