When my sister and I were younger, she loved an after school snack of honey comb cereal dipped in melted butter. I ate most of them one day and she insisted I make her some more. Let's just say Joy dishwashing detergent tastes nothing like melted butter, but it sure looks like it :).

Hi Madge124 - I have the Miele Orion and love it. I have two cats with hardwood floors and carpeted stairs. I purchased the separate motorized handheld tool for upholstery. Best Vacuum on Lincoln carries Miele and the guys there offer excellent service.

Sincerely,
Darla

I shop at Spoiled Rotten Pets on Lincoln and Altgeld. It's right down the street, and the people who work there are always nice.

I live right around the corner so I've had fun walking down there and watching them film. No Johnny sightings as of yet unfortunately.

The Iron Maiden at Kuma's Corner in Chicago - avocado, cherry peppers, chipotle mayo, and pepper jack cheese served on a pretzel roll. YUM.

I can't say enough good things about the Miele Orion (Galaxy Series) that I bought two years ago. Over the years I have purchased sub 200 dollar vacuums and they quit working after a year or so. I finally saved up for the Miele and I don't regret it one bit. I'm glad to see another review of their great products.

Teresa- that's the funniest thing I've heard on CL.

Chip and Dale- that's classic.

Why in the world, when people are kind enough to show their home, would a few people on the board suggest things they could update? Or even worse, refer to something as 'crappy'. What happened to gracious manners and a simple thanks for the homeowners?

John and Amelie, you have a beautiful place. Thank you for sharing!

I've owned the S4780 Orion for two years and love it. I, too, hated spending 600 dollars for a vacuum, but after using it once, I was hooked. I have all wood floors (except for low pile carpet on the stairs). It's quiet, lightweight, and a joy to use (joy may be a stretch since I still don't love housework). This model also has power controls on the handle to allow for adjusting the power.

I purchased the optional handheld turbo brush for upholstery and the stairs, and it was well worth it as well. I own two cats who shed a lot, so this is a perfect vacuum for me.

If anyone from Chicago is reading this post, I purchased mine from Best Vacuum (www.bestvacuum.com) from their store on the 2600 block of Lincoln Ave. They are always helpful and friendly -- from the initial purchase, to subsequent trips for bags, etc.

Not enough people use courtesy flushes to help curb odors. Maybe put a sign on the door? :)

I love Pyrex and use it frequently, so I don't want this to sound like I'm raining on the Pyrex parade. I second Laura Dot's comments, though, about being careful with temperatures on these dishes. One of Chicago's news stations recently reported on issues with these dishes shattering and sending shards of glass all over the kitchen. If interested, you can find the story here (http://cbs2chicago.com/investigations/problem.with.pyrex.2.664614.html).
Just be very careful to read all the instructions before using.

If these are like the ones in train stations in Paris, be sure to pay. My mom grabbed the door as someone came out and went in. Unfortunately, the timer went off, the lights went out, she was showered with bathroom cleaner mist, and she couldn't unlock the door. Someone had to put money in just to let her out. Let that be a lesson not to cheat! hahaa
