I'm so done with vacuums, point blank. First you've got the mass-produced Walmart/Target/Amazon/Home Depot bullshit. Dirt Devil, etc. They're made like a child's toy, designed to break, and there are so many ever-changing, oh-so-similarly-named-but-slightly-different models that you literally often cannot find relevant information, even on the manufacturers' websites.

I repaired and ultimately replaced like 4 of those over the years before buying a vintage steel behemoth Kirby like my grandma would have had. It worked great, but hauling it up and down stairs was not great and I left it behind when I moved.

Then I moved to a fancy new stick vac, which is...fine. Feels like a miracle weight-wise, cordless-wise, and maintenance-wise, but I have two dogs and it only picks up like 60% of anything.

I hate them all.
