My grandma hated hers. It would keep getting caught on furniture or doorframes, and when she turned round to see what was wrong, there he was. Fucking smirking.

I feel like your grandma and I would get along well. I despise canister vacs and all appliances I perceive to be mocking me.

Microwaves that beep at me a few seconds after beeping the first time? C’mon robot I heard you the first time, stop mocking my meatbag form, I’m on my damn way

Don't think of it as taunting you. Think of it as helping you keep track of the whole 'let stand for 5 minutes and serve'.

Moved into a new house that had an obnoxiously loud microwave beep and it took me of solid week to figure out how to turn it off in the settings.

It's not seconds, it's a minute.

As in "let it stand for a minute".

This is how I differentiate between my good appliances and the ones who are not allowed access to the network lest they troll me. The good ones sing a happy little ditty when they're done, and maaaaybe ten minutes later chirp again to say "hey just in case you forgot!"(also the fridge automatically bc it beeps cheerfully if I leave the door ajar and I need that). The taunting ones sing flatly "hey your laundry is clean but wet you have ten seconds to get drying or I will purposely start making mildew happen".

They’re brilliant machines but they can be heavy for older people, especially the more common 200 size.

Top-heavy you mean. Smug cunts will fall over every time you look at them then grin at you like a special needs chimpanzee

Oh my god it's like they're defying physics just to get caught on furniture, even if it's just touching a piece of furniture on the sides it'll not move an inch no matter how much you pull.

Fuuuck. My MIL borrowed us hers for awhile. The Henry is an utterly huge piece of shit vacuum cleaner only meant for floors, not carpet.

We've a Miele now, hell of a lot better cleaner.
