I forgot to mention something.... the cord on that Eureka is SOOOOOOO short! I had to replug 3 times just to do my whole very small 1 bedroom apartment... kinda like the Broom Vac, but still just as fun if not more! | ||

Sometimes I'd like to know the story of used vacuums. Most of them at the goodwill just need a new belt and bag, maybe a good clean up, and they run like new! If I know my neighborhood's vacuum shop, they'll most anything to get you to buy a Riccar. When I was like 8 or something, I went to the vacuum shop to get I believe eureka U bags, and I saw a used Eureka for $120. They want me to do the same thing too. I'll go in and ask for some Kirby bags, and they'll ask "Hows your vacuum?" and I'll say "It's fine. I collect vacuums." and they'll tell me how well Riccars preform and I'll walk out annoyed. Old vacuums with very little features normally work better than highly advertised Dysons or Orecks. Maybe we need to all write a page on Vacuumland telling people how their 15 old vacuums might be better than that Bissell you want to buy. That might even change how current vacuums are made, and everyone will have Hoover Decade 80s and F&G Eurekas proudly cleaning their carpets daily. And anyone NOT a vacuum expert out of this club thinking about HEPA vacuums, let me tell you this. Any Hoover that takes A or Z bags, can be converted to HEPA by buying Hoover HEPA Y bags. HA! Take that Bissell! Almost any vacuum you can get at Walmart today will die in less than 2 years. LONG LIVE THE GOODWILL!!!! Nathaniel | ||
