The plug of a vacuum is most likely the most irritating thing to deal with. Switching from room to room the plug comes out of the wall or it can get stuck under a door or couch, so we have invented a bag less vacuum that runs on a battery, no more plugs! This vacuum is one of a kind. With no plug it makes it easier to move from room to room and it makes cleaning faster.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: 200%;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">This vacuum is not heavy at all, it is very light.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>The vacuum is bag less which makes it easy to clean out the dust that gets collected.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>It also comes in three vibrant colors: pink, purple, or blue.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Instead of having one big vacuum this vacuum can break down into two smaller sizes for those hard to reach places like stairs, a ceiling fan, or in between a little spaces like the couch this vacuum breaks down so that it is possible to get to hard to reach spaces.</span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: 200%;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Since the vacuum doesn’t have a plug that goes into the wall it just runs on battery.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>The vacuum can run on battery for up to three hours before having to be recharged.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Right on the vacuum there is a little picture of the battery life right next to the power button and it will beep when the battery life is running too short.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Recharging the battery is so simple!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>The vacuum comes with a little stand that the vacuum just sits on and it will charge the vacuum.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>It doesn’t even matter if the vacuum still has a lot of battery life left just set the vacuum on the charging stand when it is not being used so your vacuum will always stay charged and ready to be used. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: 200%;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">Last but not least the vacuum still does come with all the attachments like the brushes, a duster, and the attachment that extends the vacuum hose making it easier to reach places.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>There are three brushes that come with the vacuum; there is smaller one for smaller places like the bathroom or kitchen to get under the cabinets.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>The medium brush can be used for little rugs in hall ways or for the steps, and the bigger brush can be used for any purpose that is desired.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>A duster is also included with all the other attachments to dust hard to reach spots or in between the shades on the windows.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>The hose extender comes with an extra extender so that it can be as long as needed to clean your home.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span></span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt; text-indent: 0.5in; line-height: 200%;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;">In conclusion, all around this vacuum is just so convient to use.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>It makes all vacuuming jobs easier and less obnoxious so that you can get the job down within a matter of minutes.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>With no plug and all the attachments there is nothing to get stuck under because of the plug and there is no place that can not be cleaned to keep your home fresh!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>The vacuum is not heavy at all so it will be easier to transport it from the upstairs and downstairs and the vacuum will break down into two smaller parts so that it easier to clean stairs.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>So why would you want the old vacuums that come with traditional plugs when you can just have a vacuum that runs on battery, brings down to two parts, and still has all the attachments needed?</span></span></span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;">The most important technological invention worldwide was the invention of the cell phone. Back when telegraphs were invented, one could only send one telegraph message at a time making the cell phone more reliable to use. A cell phone helps friends and family around the world stay connected to each other just by one simple call.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Over the years, the cell phone has progressed and has become better, it is easier to use and it is possible to do just about anything on it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>There are so many reliable sources and connections to the cell phone to connect people to each other.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Finally, the cell phone is just a much faster way of communicating and staying in touch instead of a letter, email, etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>With the way cell phones have been evolving today there is no doubt that in a few years they will be able to do anything you need them to do. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;">            </span>All around the world there are people trying to stay connected to family or friends over seas and when they want to talk to each other they have to send a letter that takes days to get to the other person, cell phones can fix that problem.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>It’s as simple as picking up the phone and dialing the number.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>It is much easier to talk to someone right then and there instead of writing out a letter, putting it in an envelope, sealing the envelope, getting stamps, and finally sending it, which will take a couple days to get it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>On the other hand there is emailing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>But just like a letter email, can take a few days to get read because it depends on if that person is online or on their email account at that time.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Using a cell phone to get in touch with someone is like a quick, one-minute thing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>There is no hassle on taking up too much time or the message not getting through the mail or web.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>All in all, cell phones are just faster, easier, and less annoying. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;">            </span>Did you ever wish that you could check you email or myspace right on your phone?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Now it is possible to do so.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Cell phones have been upgraded so much that everything you need is right there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Anytime you can get o n the internet on your phone to check your emails, myspace, facebook, etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>On cell phones you can also take pictures and videos so you will never miss any memories!</span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman;"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;">            </span>Cell phones are a great accessory.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>In the future they are only going to get better.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Soon telephones every where probably won’t get used because cell phones are just more reliable and faster to use.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Cell phones can do anything that is needed to be done.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">   </span></span></span></p>
