Old Electrolux vacs were the best.
Most home vacuums today are pretty much overpriced junk.
I don't buy into any of the "techy" garbage you see advertised on TV.
Keep far away from Kirby, Rainbow, Dyson, Bissell, Orek, Shark, Hoover, and the like.
Kirbys are built like tanks and do a lot of stuff but none of it very well. If you want a "real" vac, check out your local industrial/cleaning distributer.
IMHO the top of the line is Windsor followed by Sebo. Pretty much the same vacs but they're made for heavy everyday use. They're expensive. They're plastic. And they'll break over time. But they'll last much longer (except for maybe a Kirby) and clean much better than any home vac ever will.
They, the Electrolux canister vacs, still work!
We bought a Rainbow about 15 years ago and it still works well but it was really overpriced. I like the Rainbow because it filters with water and not much dust gets through to settle back on everything.
We were on a road trip this weekend and the air conditioner in the car (2012 Buick Enclave) kept freezing up and then the fan would barely blow. If we stopped for a few minutes and shut the car off it would work for maybe another 45 minutes, it was like having both a heater and an air conditioner on you at the same time. Getting it checked/FIXED on Tuesday.
I've replaced the switch in my Am Deluxe Strat once and the new one still crackles and I sometimes have to wiggle it to get the pickup to work. It's that S-1 switching. I think it is just too many analog connections in too small a place, good idea/poor design.
We have Andersen windows and doors in this house. It was built in 2004. Most of them need new rubber, most of the doors leak air around them and I noticed last Thursday that there is a little dust or something between the two sheets of glass. I was looking at them thinking about window washing this week then noticed the stuff between the panes, how a I going to get to that? I'm sure they are out of warranty, everything that needs work always seems to be.
