I just read this article on MSN.com. I thought it was pretty interesting. What do you think?

Yes, the list is definitely high tech, however, I don't think the majority on there equates to long lasting quality. There is a line between high tech/eye catching and durable/reliable.... I in particular go for the durable more commercially build vacuums like Sebo and Aerus. Out of that list, I think maybe the Miele or Dyson is the only ones I find appealing.

And their all crap! (Except the Miele)

 You see, people will read this and assume that because a sweeper is high tech, it's good and they just aren't. Really, a turbo brush for $70 with no motor? And how about that $400 piece of junk stick vac? Wow, just wow...

That LG robot vac looks cool but it is very expensive for what you really get. It does solve the lack of time that for daily cleaning by being able to set a schedule and let it do its thing.

Yeah but Roomba's been doing that for ages and they come much cheaper than that.

Hmmmmm, I'm not sure. I look more for durability and performance over gadgets and high technology. I would love to get my hands on a Eureka Canister just like the one in this thread....

I love the shade of green too!

Eureka power teams

Hi Vern,

Eureka power teams from that time period are great machines. I see you are from Clovis. I'm in Visalia. It would be cool to get together sometime and talk vacuums.

Oh cool! Yeah that would be nice. My Mom had a Eureka for years then she traded it for the Kirby G4 she has now. I love the Kirby but I do miss the Eureka.

I think they should have had the LG Follow Me for the high tech canister. A vacuum that follows the user is pretty high tech. I don't know about quality or cleaning ability, but high tech, yes.

Top rated vacuum cleaners list

 The list does look pretty inspiring. But when one buys a vacuum, one needs to figure out his needs before choosing one. A vacuum may have a lot of innovative features but if you don't have any need for those, why waste paying extra dollars for that?. These days, vacuum manufacturers put in a lot of effort on good design. Attractive designs do mean additional cost but when the design does not result in additional function, it would be wasted money. Look for a long warranty and good support.

It's easy to see where design and planning fall short wh

 That LG Kompressor Pet Care is a perfect example. The suction is great. The power nozzle is the most aggressive I think I've ever used! The nozzle is so quiet you can barely hear its motor hear through the noise of the brushes beating the carpet. It even has a lifetime serpentine belt made by Gates, same company that makes automotive fan belts.

I was disappointed in the tools. They almost would have been better off supplying the machine with aftermarket fit all accessories and a Wessel Werk floor brush. It was almost a contradiction to have a power nozzle built so well compared to the rest of what the machine has to offer.

By and large I think this is why we identify alot of the "big box retailer brands" as inferior. It's almost as though above the floor tools are an afterthought, as if the manufacturers assume we don't use them that much to make it matter and that we'll be back soon to buy another machine. I grew up using vintage Kenmore, Eureka, Hoover and Electrolux tools. Up until the time I sold my Luxes, I even went to a vac shop to buy vintage dusting brushes. No telling how old they were and they were still good to go!

I don't see a lot of longevity factors in these machines unless they're well cared for.
