Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

Who thinks the day will come, and how long will it take, when the "vacuum cleaner" will generally be accepted as just a hole in the wall that we plug a hose into? No more cyclones, water baths or super-duper filtering for alllergy sufferers.  No thought over buying canister or upright and what warranty length is.  No more concerns about cord length or operating noise levels.  I'm not just talking central vacuum system but also of a possible change in our view of practicality.  The day is not that far away when our computers will also be our telephone and TV among other things.  Come to think of it they are now though not widely employed.  Does anyone feel central vacuum systems may one day be provided in apartment buildings and other multiple dwelling as a given as well as in individual private homes?

Thanks,

Funny you should ask Venson.  Always, tho I generally separate the two tasks: Rug cleaning and tool cleaning.  On some occasions I'll do both concurrently.  Depends.  Just bought 2 new round dusting brushes from my local vacuum store.  $5 each.  One inside the house.  One for the garage.  He took new ones out of KIRBY tool boxes.  Still in the plastic wrap.

I think Kirby makes a very good duster brush. My other fave is the Lux combo brush. The larger square Eureka was nice, not sure if they still make it. Everything else seems cheap, like they just stuck something in to say a brush is included, and some of then can leave marks. I liked the old Lux white duster brush a lot. The only other vac I recall offering white bristled tools as an option was Lewyt.

Your are correct, sir. All of the other bristles in the Kirby attachment kit are synthetic.

Ah, Carmine, ever the consummate gentleman, you are most welcome. I can see why your wife snagged you and won't let you go!

Actually, my dear Wife keeps me around because of the dog!

Carmine D.

Is that because you:

a) vacuum up the fur, b) scoop the poo, c) share Scoopy snacks with the pooch, d) pay rent to sleep in the doghouse, e) all of the above

So, your pooch says, "Love me, love my buddy Carmine!" and your wife doesn't want the dog to be unhappy!  Good Boy, Carmine! As long as you are happy, and you get your shots. Woof!
