The older metal vacuums ruled!!!!Yes,these would still be working hard long after the plasticrap/junk has been crushed to bits in trash truck compactors--then crushed more by the landfill compactor!!! |

Rapid obsolescence and discontinuation of replacement parts--or simply not making them available--is a standard method of pushing sales of newer and inferior products by making it impossible to repair older and demonstrably superior older ones. It's their most effective way of killing the legacy products.

Yes it is, and the app is absolutely worthless. If I remember right the only thing it let me do was shut off the vacuum and tell me how long I had been vacuuming. Also, it was the only way I could register the vacuum for its warranty. |

I had an older Hoover of that type, it looked much the same and also had the stupid pointless phone app. It was beaten up and thrown away, it only needed a cord or something like that. I gave it to a friend, it's still in use a year or so later, including its first life. Can't be that awful, unless the same model has gotten worse.

@weltron glad you're enjoying you made the logical step to get a practical daily driver.
I love playing with all sorts of random vacuums. But at the end of the day you do need something that deep cleans easily and efficiently. @human That SEBO well outlive any of the Vacuums in your picture. Also the Vacuums in your picture have plastic cores not sure what you're really getting at. 🤔 |
