From Dirty Floors to Clean Slates: The Vacuum That Saved My Marriage

When my husband and I hit our seven-year itch, that breaking point at which so many couples unravel, those tiny idiosyncrasies that made us fall in love had become the less-than-favorable abnormalities that made us want to murder each other.You’d be surprised what can throw one over the edge.For some, it’s an affair; for me, it’s debris in our bed that get tracked in by dirty feet on a floor that just can’t stay clean no matter how much you vacuum.

Does this make me a monster? Maybe but I have a therapist and a Shark Matrix Plus 2in1 Robot Vacuum & Mop with Sonic Mopping that has changed my life for good.RELATED: We tested Shark’s best vacuums —here are our 7 top picks to clean your homeAlthough my therapist ain’t cheap, my favorite vacuum is 43% off today, making this a Hallmark moment for everyone involved.

I’ve affectionately named this device Winston, who listens to my every command and doesn’t forget to clean up when I ask him.

He can be activated with my smart device through voice command or with the swipe of a finger.Don’t get me wrong, my husband does a lot for me, but noticing a thick layer of dirt on the ground is not his forté.

What really makes Winston a game-changer is the way he works for me.While I’m busy writing articles or testing products, he’s busy navigating my home, and cleaning every corner.

You can even set him on a schedule or tell him to spot-clean specific areas.Thanks to precision home mapping, Winston effortlessly avoids my no-go zones, like the dog’s favorite hideaway, and knows exactly where to dock once he’s cleaned every inch of my floor.He’s also got some impressive sensors that can detect and avoid obstacles like my mountain of books and packages.
