Well It Looks Like I Will Need A New Vacuum Cleaner!

I was going to vacuum one of the bedrooms today and found out that my vacuum cleaner did not want to cooperate!

I have had this vacuum cleaner now for some time - over 20 years I think - so I think that it's time to get a new one!

The problems that I'm having with it is first that I am not getting enough suction! I thought maybe the hose was clogged up and I checked it and it was clear. Second of all the hose that goes into the vaccum is not catching on to the vacuum bag itself. (Actually it took me quite a while to find a store near me that carried the right size vacuum bag that I needed!)

Third (and probably the most important thing of all) is that I broke the catch that secures the hose and bag to the vacuum machine itself!

The brand of the vacuum cleaner is Eureka and it did last a long time and it worked quite well - so I'll probably buy the same brand. However I have done a quick Internet search of vacuum cleaner prices and they sure have gone up since the last time I bought a vacuum cleaner!

So I welcome your comments and suggestions as to the kinds of vacuum cleaners that you have that you are happy with and hopefully your comments will help those who are also in the market for a new vacuum cleaner!
