Been thinking. That could be dangerous…I know but this time it is only about vacuum cleaners. Usually, I kill a vacuum in 18-24 months. I love to vacuum and have a huge house.. Every time I buy a vacuum I change brands thinking another brand and model will last longer. Nope. Same old story 18-24 months and out shopping again. Upright or canister makes no difference. Bag or bagless all the same. Brand or model makes all the same sad story. Same old confusing what to buy next scenario. Once I actually flipped a coin the frustration level was so high. I hated shopping in the first place so and this was definitely not fun whatsoever. UNTIL! ! ! ! ! !
