Nina tells us more.
Hi-ya folks! First let me just say, I'm super stoked because this is the first FML I've ever had published! Second, the back story is this: when I ordered the vacuum, I had just woken up from a dream I had while on sleeping pills so I was preeeetty drowsy. The dream involved vacuuming which is what inspired the shopping spree to begin with. Since I was so drowsy I was skimming over all the product descriptions and only looking at the pictures and prices and let me tell you: by looking at the photo there is no way to tell it's a toy. It's got a brand and model name on it (Bosch Ergomaxx Professional) and cost 40 euros. I thought I was just getting a good deal. Needless to say, kids toys have come a long way in recent years. It's even functional! Just not quite practical for an adult...

I have to say YDI, because I can't imagine buying something like a vacuum without comparing brands and models, and reading reviews.
I work at a vacuum shop... dyson is the way to go :p
and price
Please tell me the vacuum cleaner was brightly colored and had a face on it!
That sucks! No, wait, it doesn’t.

Ah, I thought it was you who posted this one! It's super hilarious! I figured it would be a rather realistic looking vacuum cleaner rather than the "cutesy" ones--but the "cutesy" ones are the best truthfully.
You mean it DOES literally suck? Wow! That sucks!
Wouldn't the price have tipped you off? I'm sure a toy vacuum would have cost significantly less than a real one.
Omg I love this I can't stop laughing ???

As a product description writer this seriously made me laugh. But didn't the picture or price give you a clue? Lol
