Never Trust A Pine Needle!!
(or a sock for that matter)
Greetings,

I think it's about time we had a talk....an important talk about how to play it safe when faced with temptation. Oh, this may be the season of peace and joy - but don't kid yourself. Dangers lurk around every corner. Ice, snow, empty calories...ha! Those are mere child's play. I find that the most menacing and destructive forces are those that are inconspicuous, appear common, or seem harmless. Fear the sneaky ones...the little "straws" that break camels' backs.

Sure, everyone will be doing it: Tediously trimming trees of every shape and size; "Sprucing" up the house with dazzling arrays of evergreen boughs, bows and baubles; Frantically tidying in preparation long-awaited guests.  But don't let the egg nog cloud your judgement...this is a recipe for disaster. In fact, this is the time of year your vacuum cleaner dreads most! It cringes at the memories of last year: Being crashed into furniture, swerving precariously through a gauntlet of loose ribbons and tacks, and choking desperately on shattered glass and you guessed it...pine needles! 

Let's face it...you see that sprinkling of tiny, unassuming pine needles on the floor and dutifully take measures to eliminate the mess. You grab your trusty vacuum, detach the hose and watch with delight as they get sucked into oblivion. Admit it - you even enjoy the delicate "piney" perfume your vacuum acquired in the process. Well, by New Year's you might have noticed that the evergreen aroma has been replaced by the acrid stench of burning rubber - or worse yet, burnt-up motor! SO WHAT HAPPENED??

Got a Question? Ask Alice!
Ask Alice Queen Vacuum's mascot, Alice, is the go-to gal for all your vacuum-related questions! 

Q:
"Lee" from Middletown writes: 
How many calories do you burn while vacuuming your house? (Is there any chance I'll "work off" any of the cookies and treats I plan to eat this holiday?)

A:  Great question, Lee! Vacuuming can indeed be a workout.  In fact, some poorly-designed vacuums can be terribly cumbersome. That's the bad news. The good news....the trade off for a difficult vacuum is a greater calorie-burning experience!

Take a look at these numbers below. Look up your approximate weight. The number to the right is how many calories you'll burn vacuuming for one hour.  To the right of that is a calorically- equivalent snack! So vacuum - and eat - your heart out!

Weight     Calories burned/hour      Caloric Equivalent
120 lbs               132                         12 - potato chips
140 lbs               152                          2 - glasses of wine
160 lbs               176                          � cup roasted chestnuts
180 lbs               200                          4 - chocolate chip cookies
200 lbs               224                          1 - piece cake w/ frosting

Wow - yet another reason to love vacuuming! Have safe and happy holiday, Lee!  And keep the good questions coming...
- Alice

Beware of Hidden "Apples"...
SOME HELPFUL HOLIDAY SHOPPING ADVICE


WHATever you shop for, WHEREever you shop...remember to compare apples to apples. Sure, that seems obvious. But have you ever researched an item you wanted (reviewed the blogs and consumer magazines, checked the spec's and found the best price) bought it - and later realized you made a mistake?

Maybe you bought an item because of a friend's recommendation, but found it was not right for your needs. Did it have features you didn't need or lack ones you did? Perhaps you got it, put it together and it didn't work. Maybe it was something that needed parts, maintenance or repair over time - but the place you bought it from couldn't help with any of that! Was there something you overlooked when "comparing?" Ahh...the hidden apples. Allow me to explain...

I'm talking about some of the non-obvious purchase criteria. The important stuff you won't see listed on a comparison chart in Consumer Reports. Think about a "hard" purchase, like a car. Aside from fuel economy, seating, crash safety and sticker price - what else is important to consider? Well, can you see over the dashboard? Will it fit in your garage? Can you afford the insurance? Do you have a dealer local enough to take care of your warranty or service work (and do you like and trust the people at that dealership?)  Maybe that's what will "break the tie" between that Honda and Nissan you're eyeing up.

So apply this train of thought to all the purchases you make, this holiday season and beyond! There are just some products that really require tangible trial, maintenance considerations and/or expert assistance in choosing before you buy. Whether it's a computer, washing machine, bicycle, or a vacuum cleaner - don't forget to compare apples to apples - and ALL of them!
