I"m laughing at myself in a way, and my wife definitely thinks I"m excessive now...but as I've gotten into Kirby's, I"m vacuuming 2x- 3x times more often. Do any of you relate to this experience? Sure, if you get something you 'like', you'll use it more, of course, but, haha, I'm amazed at myself. I've had my Rainbow's for years so I cleaned more than most I"d say for sure, b/c I got satisfaction seeing what was picked up. I"ve bought 3 Kirbys this month and I guess I just like to 'try them out', rotating which I use. Anybody else experience this?

That has been my plan too, to rotate my collection around and use a different vacuum each week, or each few weeks. I have a corner in my kitchen at the top of the stairs that ever since the 80's has been "the vacuum corner" where the house vacuum is stored at. It kind of showcases the vacuum unintentionally when the door is closed, ends up making the vacuum a doorstop, and keeps it well ventilated so it doesn't smell, so its kind of the perfect location. I really want to get my Hoover 700 fixed up and make sure it's safe and healthy on its motor to use, and use that to clean with.

texaskirbyguy . I noticed your location, I'm from that general area, live mostly in Coloraod springs but come back for work purposes. I would love to come say hi and see your beautifully restored Kirby;s next time I"m in Dallas, would you be open to that? No worries if not, I lived there from 2000 to 2012 in Lewisville.

It depends.
I'd say my vacuuming habits are 1-2x a week normally, but when I get a new machine i'll use it fairly often for a while until I get kinda bored of it.
Right now i'm using my recently acquired Eureka 1934a It's not as good as my other Eureka, but it's interesting to re-experience the F+G setup since my other one is outfitted with ST bags. | ||

I vacuum a few times a week, sometimes every day depending on how busy I am/how dirty the carpets are. The first thing I walked to as an infant was the vacuum cleaner so I have always vacuumed pretty often lol.
I keep around 5 or so vacuums at my house and I rotate through them, but my Princess III is my go-to for most tasks. Good filtration, decent attachments, long hose and cord. Sometimes I use my Princess hose with my Filter Queen when I'm doing more above floor cleaning since the Filter Queen has the high/low speed switch but the Princess hose is much longer than the FQ. I use my Simplicity Synergy when I'm primarily doing the carpets, and I keep a Shark Powered Lift-Away near the cats' litter boxes to use around them. The Shark is the only vacuum I use in the room with the litter boxes, I got it refurbished for only 80 bucks and it's easy enough to clean when it inevitably smells like used cat litter. That was a task that I had previously delegated to a pretty basic Electrolux canister (2100 style but more bare-bones), but the cats knock so much litter out of the boxes that I figure a bagless is best. I also have a few unfinished projects laying around the house, like a half disassembled Fantom Thunder that's waiting on a new motor to be delivered. | ||
