        I just use a vacuum or a broom. Cheaper, cheaper to replace, and free exercise

      Vacuuming your place while you go get groceries is pretty nice, according to my late mother. And her favorite feature was: the thing easily fit under the bed, so she didn’t have to remind herself she was not as spry as she used to be.
