Can I say that?

In this case, it's a very good thing.

My new Hoover steam vacuum really sucks!

It truly does. It has not gotten everything out of my downstairs carpet, but it did a darn good job getting most everything up! My husband was not entirely unhappy that I spent the money on the steamer, when he saw what a great job it did.

I am no longer embarrassed at how hideous our carpet is downstairs.

I'll get the clutter under control now too, soon. I really will.

Too bad the Hoover won't take care of that, too.
