 Re: Can we talk Vacuum Cleaners for a minute?
We went through a vacuum every year for the first six years we lived here in the country. (I think I kept forgetting and vacuuming up the ashes from our woodstove, which is a huge no-no.) Then, a friend moved away and left us a Dirt Devil upright. It was probably very inexpensive ($50-$75?) and it is no frills, no attachments, just the basic vacuum. It won't die. We've been using it for almost seven years now and it still works great. I've used Dyson's at two vacation homes this past year and when the Dirt Devil dies I will hold out for a Dyson. Still, if I wanted to buy an inexpensive vacuum that would run and run, I'd look at another Dirt Devil. It does use bags, but they may have a newer model that doesn't. |
