I pitched my old one (Hoover, just a few years) that just refused to draw much at all into the recycling pile. Damn, I hate it that nothing lasts anymore.

1. A vacuum that doesn't suck sucks.

12. Yup. You gettit.

THis time, it was no cost-co wearhouse special. BS.

4. I brought a Kirby 20 years ago and have had repaired it a few times the guy who repaired it retired

So the last time it broke I got lazy and brought a Hoover. The vacuum was crap. Brought 3 plastic belts which broke after a few uses. I finally found a new guy who repairs Kirbys. It cost me $85 and it’s good as new. Never will buy a Hoover again they are garbage.

5. I've had nothing but bad luck with hoovers.

Like you it was the belts every time. And like you i love our kirby We have 2 saint bernards so it's heavy duty vacuuming, but kirbys tend to hold up better.

11. The one chucked was a hoover. Never again. THis is a bissell. We'll see.

6. A friend reported to me that his Rumba ran over his dog's bidness...

And pooped out.

7. I bought a pricey Dyson 5 years ago - and love it - worth every penny.

Cheapo vacuums don't last 3 months at my house.

10. Dyson is dangerous!

Can’t tell you how much random stuff I’ve accidentally sucked up with the attachment wand– curtains, laundry, dog toys...


They were not kidding about the suction!

8. We've been using a shop vac over 20 years now.

Sears, no less. It can use regular vacuum hose/attachments.

Bought it especially because of suction power, and its light enough to easily move around the floors, easy to clean out, and was pretty cheap at the time.

2 downsides:
Not as easy to use as an upright on wall to wall carpeting, but we don't have carpets.

Noisy.That's why god made ear plugs.

9. had a trapezoid electrolux? as a kid. my mom said buy them if you see 1 at an estate sale.

i + she found 3 or 3. we have no wall to wall + radiators & don't need to vacuum much.
