Is it because they are the first commercially popular Electric broom? I don't get it. There are many other appliances that should have the status that the vacuum has. I'm not dissing anyone who likes to vacuum, this is just how I think. Don't you see everyone switching to Swiffers?! Tim Commerford and Juan Alderete used vacuums for years, and went to Swiffers after! Yes, I do have a vacuum, but I just mod the hell out of it (getting a new beater bar as a self-birthday present, the only things that are going to be stock by the end of spring will be the hose).
Please don't say they suck...

It's kind of crappy, and it smells so much. We were vacuuming our room, and we could smell the belt burning... that sucks. Anyway- we'll be looking for a new vacuum pretty soon.

Bill, I'm old fashioned, I still use a classic wooden broom some of the time, although the splinters really hurt my fingers after many hours of sweeping.

Once everyone started using them all the big stores started carrying them and the quality suffered. You're better off with the pre 2005 swiffers.  | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
