Ok, yesterday I was walking home and while I was on my normal route and while I was walking down a small street, I found a handle sticking out from a box, so obviously I looked in and saw a Dirt Devil Swift Stick! But the worst thing was the cord was cut off. It was and is in prestine condition, so I attached a cord to it and Viola! It turned on, but wait, there was no suction. So, I looked to the filter and it was clogged. So I cleaned it and now its working like a chamo! I think thats a little stupid that someone throws something out that works! :( Ill post pics later....

Almost all trash vacuums I find work. There has only been a few I have gotten that have had bad motors. It is ALWAYS a broken belt, clogged, or needs a filter cleaned. Always. But sometimes I find them with the cord cut off, and that really sets me off. I have found 2 vacuums in one person's garbage, and the cord was all wrapped up on the cord wrap, but the person who threw it out, cut each cord in multiple places so I trash picker could not use it!

I have only gotten one vacuum from the trash that had a burned out motor, a Eureka whirlwind bagless. any others I have found have been simply clogged. if people had enough brains in their head to clean them out, we wouldnt get all of these good vacuums! I found a Kirby classic 3 about 2 weeks ago, and you guessed it, the bag was all clogged up! It works perfectly!about a month ago I also found 2 Kenmore canisters, a progressive and a whispertone both at the same place, the progressive was missing the power nozzle and the bag was PACKED, the whispertone had a brand new bag in it but the power nozzle was seized up. they both work perfectly, and the power nozzle just needed some oil on the bearings. I have found plenty of other vacuums that were just clogged too.
