The interesting thing with all the new EVs to market isn't really the car appearance, but the battery tech. - TWuG Oct 23, 06:21
Considering how crappy their vacuums are... - Krusty Oct 23, 05:56 14
- Honest question: Do they even make bag vacuums anymore? There can't be a big market for it I imagine. -- nm - MDH Oct 23, 06:22 3
  - They certainly do and they're the best you can buy. Miele is the best of the best but pricey. -- nm - Krusty Oct 23, 06:55
  - Yes, in large part because they still filter air better than bagless. -- nm - Reagen Oct 23, 06:26 1
    - And have better suction and a longer life due to more easily being repairable. -- nm - Krusty Oct 23, 06:57
- we love our little rechargeable one. Perfect for our trailer at the Lake also for small jobs around the house -- nm - Beaker Oct 23, 06:01 3
  - I was more talking about the big ones people use for their whole home. I went down a rabbit hole of reading about vacuums for days a year or two ago. - Krusty Oct 23, 06:59 2
    - I mean, who hasn't. -- nm - Reagen Oct 23, 07:03 1
      - :-) It was thanks to an AMA by a vacuum repair guy. It was fascinating. -- nm - Krusty Oct 23, 07:08
- *shrug* I had one for 10 years - it was the best I've ever owned. -- nm - decline Oct 23, 05:59 5
  - If you're happy with it that's great. Test show they don't last long and don't do nearly as good a job as equally priced bagged vacuums. -- nm - Krusty Oct 23, 06:56 2
    - well, I can attest that they do not hold up that well if you drop them down a flight of stairs -- nm - decline Oct 23, 06:59 1
      - Haha! That might cause a small issue. We had one that I got from a friend that upgraded to a newer model. It was okay but a belt kept wearing down and - Krusty Oct 23, 07:03
  - We've had Dysons, but Sharks are so much better. And so much cheaper. -- nm - TWuG Oct 23, 06:22 1
    - yeah, we use a bagless Shark as our main vacuum now, but still like the little Dyson for quick touchups - Beaker Oct 23, 06:38
