As a kid my mom would always make me vacuum the house. We had a corded vacuum and the biggest challenge was always vacuuming in a way that you didn’t run out of cord by wrapping it around too many pieces of furniture.
Dull Men's Club
An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine or advice forum.
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions, identify objects or get advice. We accept very few questions, and they must be over topics much more difficult than what is easily discoverable with a search. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. Not hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.
8. All polls must have an "Africa, by Toto" option. Why? Because we hear the drums echoing tonight.
My vacuum has a cable, I don't know why anyone would want another battery to replace every couple years. My stuff should just work for a decade or more
There are only two good brands of vacuum cleaner
Miele and Sebo
And corded is a must
Edit - some will say "Nilfisk" but they're the shittest, most annoying design to ever exist
Miele I know, they're mid imo. Sebo I've yet to try.
I have an ilife robot myself, it's been great for over a decade now. I had to dislodge the bumper a couple times but that's about it.
My gf wants to get a rather expensive model from an American brand, I'll have to see how it performs
I agree.
Batteries are the worst!
I bought an extra battery for this very reason!
I got an adapter that lets me use my Milwaukee M18 batteries for my Dyson.
Same
I got a Makita cordless vacuum when my old cordless died because I had 6 batteries for my various other tools. Still keep a corded vacuum around for the extra oomph, though.
Good on you! I bet it is sparkling!
You need to buy a good vacuum, honestly. Ever since I dumped my old dilapidated vacuum and bought a cheap but respectable new one online, I gotta say vacuuming has become a pleasure. If you consider your wants and needs carefully on your next purchase and I do believe it won't go to waste
