Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

Vacuum Cleaners need the same care as automobiles. Like an automobile the more it is properly maintained the longer it will last. From the cheapest to the most expensive. Changing the filters, keeping them clean, belts changed, and  bags checked and changed will increase the life. Like an automobile the cleaner need to breath to keep the motor from overheating. I have had many bagless come in for repair where filters were never changed or properly cleaned  causing the motor to overheat and go bad.  We have talked about who is the best in everyone's opinion but really never addressed what really goes wrong with the cleaners.

   When I talk to customers about their cleaner and offer a free service check they say it is working fine. They, the customer, don't always take care of their cleaner like their car. When they have a problem it is because either they never changed or cleaned the filter, bag, or belt. checked their brushroll for wear. They think a vacuum cleaner will last for years. This generation come up and say the vacuums don't last like their parent's  Vacuum cleaner because of laziness or not knowing how to take care of their Cleaner.

  Bagless vacuums are being sold to people that are basically lazy and want a cleaner that you don't need to do anything to. Older people that have had bagless are going back to bagged and relearning how to maintain their cleaner to last longer.

Hi DiB:

That's a good one and there are many more like it according the COSTCO.  But I was actually thinking more of the 36 UK dyson buyers and users and 2 vacuum brand makers who filed a case against dyson with the ASA and won.  With the ASA admonishing dyson not to use the mantra:  Filters don't clog and never loses suction else be liable for punitive and monetary damages.

So? What's the current question or comment?

By the way, have a happy Thanksgiving all.

Best,

I dont know either, Venson. Musta been a glitch.

It may have been a glitch, but it came at the right time of year. As people prepare for th holidays ,it is a good time to have the cleaner checked, clean the filters, replace the belt and have a good holiday. People don't realize that a town without a Vac shop hurts them until it is too late. Big box stores will sell you the kind of vacuum they want you to buy and not provide service for them. You have a manufacturers warranty but where do you go for the service is the question. SO at this time of Year remember your Vac shop owners, even the door to door salespeople.Many more are good and want to serve the people than are bad.

                          Have a Happy Thanksgiving
