I am generally aversed to any forms of house cleaning. Ok simply put: I'm Lazy with a capital L. That is, until i met Rainbow and my inhibitions evaporated. As of now.
One of the 11 Bestfriends referred me to Rainbow. She said R is very good. It took me a looooooong while to finally have him over at home. I cancelled him a couple of times fearing betrayal and misrepresentation and whatever, ya know.
Until the fateful day, My mum warned me not to do anything foolish. I reckon i had a perfect getaway excuse: i had another appointment at 2pm (That's you, Nan). Alas, I caved in. I couldn't deny that R is very good.....
Fri, I took leave to receive R with a warm welcome. We all need to get to know R better.

Sales guy explaining that one hose is for DRY vacuuming only and the petrol pump-like hose is for dry AND wet. Wait. Or is it the other way around?
And this is how you pack all the accessories in one long box.He proposed a couple of installment plans via credit cards but i was not comfortable with them. In the end, he suggested POSB LoanAssist. The actual price of the unit is $3,200. Loan of $4,000 will be applied. The balance could be used for monthly repayment, and then after 6 months, Rainbow will give a CashBack covering the "interest" charged by the bank, and that can be used for the repayment of the next 6 months. So in effect, i won't hafta pay for the first year. and Monthly would cost me about $140.
We went to the bank the following business day. And i was disappointed to know that:
- There are some charges and Insurance fee after the $4,000 so the balance is lesser and could only cover for prolly 4 months?
- I am not able to pay IN ADVANCE during the first year as I had intended to put all the balance in that account so i wont use it. BAH
My mother, when she knew i bought this vacuum, got speechless. Almost like saying, "I TOLD YOU NOT TO BUY THIS THING, RIGHT?" Later i found out, it's because that we had once bought a supposedly "GOOD" vacuum from an uncle too at over $2,000 only to have it broke down quickly and besides it was too heavy and inconvenient to use. However, when she actually saw the thing, she said, "Oh. This is the one like Mak Long's which we had ever borrowed before to clean the carpet." Phew~ I felt so relieved she approved, finally.
We had a good fortune that my aunty who helped to clean the house once a week used to have this Rainbow and believed in it whole heartedly. So at least, i feel secured that she would not refuse to use this new cleaning equipment citing heavy-weight and cumbersome.
While i feel good about the purchase, I can't help doubting myself. Because there are also another school of thought that you should expose your children to germs so that they could get immune to it when they grow up. If they stay in a sterile condition for so long, the moment they hit a "dirty" environment (which is mostly everywhere), they could get sick easily.
*Shrug* What's done is done anyways. Let's just utilise it.
