New vacuum lasts 1 day!

[Patricia]

Can you believe it?

A few days ago I bought a new vacuum cleaner. Adam was having a fine old time playing around with its' attachments...vacuuming the wooden venetians and such and apparently didn't bother to retract the cord when he was finished.

Next morning I went to vacuum the floors and I could not believe my eyes :O :O :O

There was my lovely new vacuum cleaner...and there beside it was the electrical plug.

Mr Toto had been up to some fun and games in the night...OMG I was furious!

Luckily Adam was able to fit a new plug and then took it into the electrician at work to be safety tested...

What a naughty boy! Give me twin baby goats any day!

And here I was thinking that it had a mechanical failure or something. Just as well you have a handyman Patric....that's an expensive repair trust me (been there, done that) :)

:headh: well thank god it was Adam that made the mistake of not retracting the cord, :P
what is it with dogs and plugs, when Dusty was little, he bit off all the plugs on the electric blankets, odd thing was It was only ever on the left side :P

LMAO ...Sorry patric :P Thanks for the giggle, I really needed it too.

Hope its gets the ok from the safety test! :fx:

[Patricia]

Yes good job it wasn't "my"fault Di :P

Back now Manda..like new again...only thing is that this has voided my two year warranty...the very reason I bought this one was because of the warranty...oh well :dk:

[Heather]

Which would you rather ...the warranty or Mr Toto....(probably the former at the moment)?

It's always been my cats who went for cords...never had trouble with the dogs.

Oops like you say at least it was Adams stuff up Patricia & not yours
