My dream is to rip up every inch of carpet in my home so that I don’t need a GREAT vacuum cleaner, but alas that’s a pipe dream at the moment. So thank you for the great info. I’m sick of buying cheap crappy vacuums that tear up after a few months of use. Wish we had bought a great one earlier in life when we could have afforded it. Oh well, such is life.
May your dream come true soon! Carpeting is wall-to-wall DIRTY LAUNDRY. Filthy, full of dust, dust mites, dirt, bacteria, and an invisible cloud of it gets roiled up with every step you take. By far the most unhealthy disgusting thing in your house!
