Bought a new vacuum today.

[LuckyCharms]

Kenmore 600 series cannister vac.

Our old Kenmore cannister lasted about 35 years.

My wife was the last one to use it and she said it was starting to crap out.

I repaired it once...didn't feel like looking at it again, so we bought a new one.

Isn't that exciting?

Yay.

Woo Hoo.

1. I thought Kenmore died when Sears bit the dust.

Hope you get many years of service out of it.

2. I have 3, one on each floor of the house, 4 if you count the shop vac, 5 if you count the hand held.

But I want one of those Dyson Stick vacuums that are on sale at Costco so bad.

[LuckyCharms]

3. I have the Kenmore cannister...

a Rigid shop vac, a Ryobi stick vac, a Ryobi shop vac, a Bissell hand held vac, and a few other misc ones that I don't use.

13. Dyson stick

I have a Dyson v10 Cyclone, had to order a new battery for it, even though we rarely used it. Dyson says you need to let it cool for 5 minutes after use before docking it in the charger. That is the reason they gave for premature battery failure. Of course, I never thought to leave it laying on the floor for 5 minutes after use. But, it is a good vacuum, so I ordered the battery, it should arrive in a couple days.

16. Same here. Bissell swivel HEPA pet vacs on 3 floors. Shop And hand vacs in basement.

And a leaf vac outside in yard box. Our household sucks more than yours!

[dem4decades]

19. Damn, thank god my leaves get blown, not sucked. But I do have to go look and see what vacs I do have.

3 of them have bags, as if I can remember where I keep the bags or which bags I need when I can't find them.

5. I gave mine away. It was just gathering dust!

[LuckyCharms]

8. HA!

[True Dough]

6. What's your

favorite attachment?

Enquiring minds want to know!

[LuckyCharms]

7. The Kenmore telescoping dildo attachment for hard to reach areas.

DON'T BAIT ME LIKE THIS, TRUE DOUGH.

9. Hey, buddy

as long as the suction doesn't kill ya, have fun!

[LuckyCharms]

10. You're giving me flashbacks to my dreaded "vacuum incident"

when I was 14 years old.

[True Dough]

11. Better than

a "blender incident"!!!

[LuckyCharms]

12. Not in my case.

Some old timers in the emergency room still remember me...

[3catwoman3]

20. True story. When I was in nursing school, I worked weekends as a unit clerk...

...in a section of the Emergency Department. It was the minor trauma and holding unit. No resuscitations.

I got to work one Sunday morning to find several of the staff snickering. A man in his 50s had sneaked into his sister's home in the middle of the night and got into a spot of trouble attempting to pleasure himself with his sister's vacuum cleaner. The poor on-duty surgical intern was having a difficult time deciding how to write up this incident.

At the time, Sears had a vacuum attachment known as the Beater Bar Power Mate. I kid you not.

14. We used to rent apartments to rich college students.

They came with brand new top vacuums. They used them till the bags got full and tossed them when they moved.

We had so many vacuums we sold a couple and gave them as gifts.

[LuckyCharms]

15. I'm wondering what to do with the old one.

I'm sure there is someone who would refurbish it.

I may put it out on the curb and listing it as "free" on Craigslist.

I did that once with a broken miter saw, and it was gone in about 30 seconds.

[LakeArenal]

17. Anything we ever put to curb with "free" sign "works" was gone in an hour.

We used to wonder who was watching so closely. 👁️👁️
