New Dyson ‘Catcuum’ Creates More Dust Than It Sucks, Say Critics
Since it introduced its first vacuum with “cyclonic technology” in 1993, Dyson has been known for making some of the highest performing cleaners on the market. Its newest offering, the Catcuum DC-M, however, is a rare miss according to critics.
Consumer Reports gave the vacuum its lowest possible rating in a recent issue.
“We just can’t recommend the Dyson Catcuum DC-M,” wrote the magazine’s editors. “It seems to mostly just move dust and household debris around the floor, and in our testing it often spent hours of the day under the bed doing nothing at all.”
And in a write up on the consumer reviews website The Wirecutter, the Catcuum, “creates more dust than it picks up. Hair was just everywhere during our tests.”
Dyson representatives could not be reached for comment, but the Catcuum’s price has been discounted by as much as 75% at online retailers over the past week, indicating that sales of the model have not been good.

Cat Hears ‘Dark Side of the Moon’ For the First Time
By Austin Knief, FluffPo Correspondent
Legendary rock band Pink Floyd has had a profound impact on millions of music fans since the group formed in 1965. Sprinkles, a 3-year-old cat from Brooklyn, now understands why.
“I had put the album on so that Sprinkles wouldn’t have to sit in silence while I went on my morning run,” said Jeffrey Kirsten, the cat’s roommate. “When I got back, I found her laying motionless on my bed, staring off into space.”
Friends of Sprinkles have since noticed a severe change in her behavior, and a far more “existential” tone in her meows.

San Fancisco Cat Closes Deal on 1-Bedroom Apartment
When it came to purchasing her first apartment, Sasha had very particular taste.
“It had to be cozy, new construction and a great view,” says Sandy Keller, the real estate agent who worked closely with the cat to find her new home. After looking at nearly 40 places in downtown San Francisco, she found her dream apartment.
“It’s a one-bedroom with an eat-in kitchen that’s also the bedroom,” says Keller. “What it lacks in space it makes up for in easy maintenance.”
So far, Sasha is thrilled, according to sources close to the situation. She’s already moved her collector’s plates and washer/dryer into the new space, and ordered a gently used pool table from eBay that should arrive next week.
