I’ve gone through three vacuum cleaners in a two years and have spent thousands. Additionally, one vacuum cleaner was so heavy, it caused me back pain.

Why does my vacuum cleaner have no suction?

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009
me,myself, and I asked:


Help! I have a Dirt Devil Swivil Upright vacuum cleaner, only had it for six mos. now and bought it brand new. I noticed yesterday that it wasn’t picking up at all. I pulled the hand held hose out to check and sure enough there is no suction what so ever! I checked to make sure there were no clogs or anything that had stopped it up, I also checked the belt and the bag was just replaced a couple days ago, it was practically empty. It sounds fine, there is just no suction. Any ideas? I just can’t get a new vacuum right now. Thanks in advance!

What is the best vacuum cleaner for concrete floors?

Saturday, January 10th, 2009
Ryan asked:


I am unfamiliar with vacuum cleaner brands or even if vacuum cleaners work on concrete flooring. Basically I am looking for something that will get all the dust and dirt up without having to mop every other week.

How would you go about taking apart a vacuum cleaner?

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009
AJ asked:


I have this sever OCD problem where I can’t buy anything new to replace something unless that something is broken. And I really need a new vacuum cleaner, but it’s not quite dead. So, i’m wondering if you knew of a way that I could possibly cut a certain cord or do something to the vacuum cleaner to have it suddenly stop working. But it can’t be obvious like clogging it or cutting the electrical cord. So please, tell me anything. The one that works gets best answer. Thanks. Much appreciated

Why does my dog eat near the vacuum cleaner?

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009
kanycas asked:


My dog will get a bunch of kibbles in his mouth and walk over to where i keep the vacuum cleaner ( usually i leave the cord on the floor in a tangled mess) and puts the food in the tangled cord and eats from there. He repeats this process several times throughout his feeding. I move the vacuum and he will keep doing it where ever the vacuum is. If the vacuum cord is put away he will not do it.

Help! I parked my vacuum cleaner in my bathroom for a few minutes and the rubber bottom left this greasy looking mark that won’t go away with simply washing or scrubbing the area with a soft cloth. Any ideas?
