Kirby vacuums. I got one for free from a neighbor and she included the invoice by mistake. $2200 for a vacuum that smells like burning and can't lift pet hair. Brush is working, bag is new, carpet is being lifted from the pad. But man, this thing fails at pet hair.
There was a brand that worked by filling the tank with water and applying a vacuum to use the water as a filter. They weren’t amazing but they cost like $2k in 2001 money. My ex had one that her father had bought and I finally convinced her to get rid of it once it started shocking her.
Rainbow vacuums, my parents had one when I was growing up.
We still have one and it works really well. I suspect they were over filling the water reservoir
bong-vacuums
really? we've had ours for 21 years or so, and it still works well. admittedly we use the dyson almost exclusively now
Actually, Kirby vacuums worked amazingly well and worked for years, if not decades. But they weighed a ton and could NOT handle pet hair.
Sounds like it really sucks.
