Sounds like <a href="http://kellementology.com/">kellypea</a> does too! I wonder if Debbie's "<a href="http://www.barking-chihuahuas.com/">barking chihuahuas</a>" shed much... I've got an exciting range of pet fluff floating around here, ranging from the few fine thin hairs of the greyhound to the fistfuls of downy undercoat donated by the husky. There may even still be cat hairs around from the last house cat, for all I know (but won't ever admit it!)... @bluepaintred, I just sent you an email about your tech troubles - but no way I’m sending you a sweepeze too, my dear, when I don’t yet have one myself!

Hm, so tempting! Because I can't really see ever installing a central system in this century-old farmhouse... just imagine the plaster dust all over the place, not to mention freaking out all those free-loading mice, just trying to snake the tubes through the walls and put in the outlets... But an electric dustbin for $50 or less? That's not completely insane... and you like yours enough to mention it here, Gen, so that's a pretty good recommendation!

It's an automatic dustbin that sucks up whatever you sweep to it. You do have to empty it periodically but still a great addition to my kitchen.
