Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

I would like to throw this question out........

If you are not a vacuum enthusiast or professional in the business.

What would you pay for a vacuum cleaner[please disregard being sold by high pressure sales or hyped promotional advertising]

$5.00, $ 20.00, $ 150.00, etc. I'M trying to see how the public in general sees this industry..........

Thanks

our business is as strong as ever the economy has still never affected us much (except central vac since building has stopped) knock on wood, my upscale vac sales is higher than ever as we are in an upper middle class area most of our customers are not your typical Wal-mart customer, with Hoover closing all its service centers and parts not available for most China vacs most people will get sick of filling up our landfills with this junk.

I wonder if the "greenies" or even manufacturers might pick up on a similar pitch.

Thanks all for your replies.  I enjoy reading your business and industry insights.  Your capacity to keep a sense of humor despite is remarkable.  When I see the little 3 from the big 3 grovel before Congress, I admire you and what you are going through.  Keep on keeping on.

Besides the landfills are already overloaded with tires now.....

If only they had used nitrogen in those tiers the dump would be begging for business.
