I finally got a vacuum cleaner--meaning I now have a easier time keeping my floors clean. I also got a microwave, but I haven't plugged it in yet. Anyway, the vacuum cleaners, blue and gray---a stand up. I've never used a stand up vacuum cleaner before, my mom used a stand up vacuume cleaner when I was little, but I don't remember I ever used it. It's an American one, and it's filter can be cleaned in liue of being replaced by another filter. When I first plugged it in the outlet, it didn't work, so I thought there must be something wrong with the vacuum cleaner, than I tried it in another outlet, and it worked, so the problem is with the first outlet-but it's weird because I'd just been using it for my new water heater. Anyway, I'm glad I got to work in two other outlets.
