    Am I the only person who clears and cleans the vacuum cleaner outside?

      Three women with long hair in my house. My vacuum would die in a month if I didn’t break out the sheers beforehand every time and cut hair out of the roller. So no, not the only one.

        What I used to do to deal with long hair is run the vacuum with the corner cleaner attachment (Just a long thin pipe with no obstructions inside) in the places that long hair tends to clump up in - under the bed, in the corners, under furniture - before runing the floor attachment (the one that has the roller). I’ll have already sucked up all the hair by the time the roller comes around.

        You might want to get a vacuum more suited to deal with hairs if this is the issue you are having. It is not normal to need to cut the hair out of the roller. A lot of them don’t even have a roller anymore or it is an optional accessory

          This is absolutely not true, in the states at least. Most carpet vacuums don’t work effectively without the roller spinning to move the carpet fibers out of the way.

            Most people don’t have a dedicated carpet vacuum anyway since carpet has been declining in popularity for decades now. Part of that is because something like a wooden/PVC/Tile floor is easier to clean and because of that it can be slightly better for your health incase of having a house dust mite allergy.

            But based on your comment I sense you do have a lot of carpet in your house, but even then I don’t see people using a dedicated vacuum for it. They just have a normal vacuum like a Henry or something. (Most common international vacuum iirc)

        There’s an easy solution: put the women outside, let the vacuum be happy inside.

          That definitely does work, but I prefer scissors and a kershaw knife now just because of how it wraps around our Kirby wood roller sometimes.

    My roommate got tired of vacuums that gave up after a month. We got one of the big boy vacuums (a used Kirby) and that thing could rip the chrome off a trailer hitch.

    Next time your $200 Walmart vacuum dies, trying finding a vacuum store that sells used. Some Kirbys are 30+ years old and still kicking.

      A vacuum cleaner that’s called kirby… And is a really powerful sucker. Something here isn’t an accident.

        The character was named after the vacuum cleaner. Edit: Looks like I was mistaken

          The character was named after a lawyer that defended Nintendo in a lawsuit

        They really should be suing Nintendo.
