Giggling Toddler Playing With Flashing Skitterbot Robot Bug

I first came across SKITTERBOT Robot Remote Controlled Bugs when I fixed1t one, and liked them so much I bought a batch to video a swarm sequence.  When I gave one to 12 year old Pascal for his birthday, his little brother, 2 year old Olli announced it was his, as they do :-)  And when Pascal put down the Remote Control Olli was on it. Although he was a little bit scared of it, he loved it.  They are great toys and when you pick them up and they are wriggling in your hands they feel like real large beetles. These SKITTERBOT Bugs are a great combination that kids like, fear, surprise and random craziness. If you don't have one, I recommend you get one, for home or the boardroom ;-)  #fixedreview

Identifying And Fixing A Dyson DC39 Loss Of Suction Problem

Just as I'd stop complaining about the DC39 after discovering I could empty it with my emptying tool, I discovered that have great suction and tight corners in pipes doesn't quite work.

For weeks I've been getting less and less suction for no obvious reason, and then it started a hi pitched whine or whistle like it was a heavy chain smoker on a cold damp morning.

Then I found the solution and now it works like new.

Karcher Window Vacuum Cleaner WV50 Real Life Test

I finished Karcher Window Vacuum Cleaner WV50 VAC'ing the rest of the insides of the windows, patio doors and glass doors and here are the results:

1) Its a remarkably fast process and really easy learn and master.

2) Doing all of the windows with the WV50 merely generated just over a centimetre of dirty water in the container.

Karcher Window Vacuum Cleaner WV50

Just 1cm of dirty water from over 10 windows and doors.
The best technique is:

i) Wet and gently scrub the window with a none abrasive Soft Cloth
ii) Start from the bottom of the window and stroke upwards
iii) Once you get to just below the centre of the window turn the WV50 upright and begin stroking down the window and come down to 10 below the dirty water line from the upward sweet.
iv) Don't let the glass dry out , instead quickly wipe off any residence from the window with clean  micro fibre cloth.

Using this method I was able to wash, wipe and polish each window in a few minutes.

I thoroughly recommend the Karcher Window Vacuum Cleaner WV50
