I’m looking for a vacuum cleaner that doesn’t need dust bags and gets its power from the wall socket with a cord. The suction power has high priority for me
Edit: thankyou all for the recommendations, I appreciate it!
I realized, although vacuums with bags are in the daily financing more expensive I guess, but that they are more reasonable in my case
A way to combat supporting the asshole directly is to find and buy one second hand. Even swapping out a simple part for <$50 can extend an $800 vacuum cleaner by several years.
This is the way. I’ve owned 8ish Dysons and never purchased one new. There are a lot of people who sell their Dyson because it’s “not working”. Surprise, if the motor is working and there is a suction problem, there’s just something stuck in the hose. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve bought a “broken” Dyson only to find an easily fixable blockage.
It sounds like it’s most likely between 0 and 9 times.
Doing God’s work
Yeah, I had a friend throwing away his Dyson stick vac because it was “pulsating” on and off, well, a quick look in the manual (there’s also an online troubleshooter) told me that pulsating like that is a signal to the user meaning there is a blockage, it took 30 sec to fix that.
Truth. Very good point.
Part of the problem with our society is people are so quick to throw perfectly functional shit away because advertisements of all sorts convince them that there is something better out on the market now and that what they have is outdated. The quality of products as a whole have gone to shit because people would rather buy cheap knockoff garbage every 6 months and throw it away than buy a quality product that, with some care and attention, could last decades. I’ve had a lot of luck over the years being patient and browsing all the sites like craiglist, Facebook marketplace, etc and buying the few remaining top-of-the-line brands second-hand (or sometimes even for free) and making it new again. I’ll get off my soapbox now.
