This is something I used to do, but stopped doing, as I reckoned I was just wasting my time, but perhaps I wasn't...
Here is what I used to do: Get the cleaner out, plug it in, turn it on and let it run for 15-20 seconds in the upright position before using it. "Vacuum Village" - The spare room is pretty cold as the heating is never turned on in it, so that is partly why I used to let the cleaners run for a wee while. Should I start doing it again ? |

As it was said before about the cold hose being stiff, same goes for all other plastic parts, especially older plastics or really cheap vacs with low quality materials. Cold plastic breaks easier. |

Given that the exhaust air seems to get warm in a reasonable amount of time, I've found that using my Lux canister vac in blower mode makes an excellent hair dryer for my dog after a bath. The air is a nice temperature without getting too hot. |

"or just be gentle for the first minute or so ?" Yes - that way it will still respect you in the morning! |
