Meet R2-D2

Say hello to our shop vac affectionately called R2-D2. Yes, we name our things. Makes us feel more connected to them.....Hans, Lulu, Helga, Landon, Stewie.....all inanimate objects. We're weird like that but let me tell you, this little guy is amazing.




We picked him up at Home Depot the day before we started our demo. Jon did the research and found this one. Now I'm usually one to wait out for a sale which we tried. We were hoping it would go on sale during Memorial Day weekend or at least there would be some sort of discount on home improvement stuff for the holiday but sadly no. So we bought this baby at full price. It hurt me just a little but we desperately needed it to start knocking things out. You can check out more about R2-D2 here.

Our top 10 reasons why R2-D2 is awesome (drum roll please)

10. He's so lightweight that I can pick him up with one hand
9.   He rolls smoothly around with ease on his little feet (wheels)
8.   He has a long extension cord to get around the total chaos everywhere
7.   He has a utility nozzle, a car nozzle, and a wet nozzle 
6.   He has 2 extension wands which makes a bigger difference than you'd think
5.   He can hold a lot of stuff in his little body
4.   He sucks up everything (nails, wood chips, sheet rock bits, dust, insulation, bugs, small children, you name it)
3.  His suction is so powerful that he can pick up stuff within an inch or two of where you aim the nozzle
2.  He can suck up wet and dry stuff
1.  He can give you about a 2 inch hickey, if that's what you're into. Don't worry, I won't tell.
