Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

HI,

I picked up a couple of interesting facts on the news -- or at least they are claimed to be facts.

One -- Americans have stopped buying cars.  In past, the average has been a new car about every three to four years.  It is now expected that car owners will revert to the practice from way back in the day of a new car approximately every seven to nine years.  Of course the question is, do any American car makers produce a car that last seven to nine years?

This also may have been discussed here but just in case . . .

Spending by the average American is claimed to have been percentage-wise the same for at least the ;last thirty years.  It only seemed we had more due to easily accessible credit.  We may have never been ahead of the game.

Yes Mike, you're correct and the point is recognized.  However, though the approach was certainly whimsical, the idea was intended as fodder for thought regarding buying trends even down to current vacuum purchasing.  I'd just decided to spare a few keystrokes and let it fly.

Happy New Year,

Hello Venson:

In comparing the two industries: vacuums and vehicles, the repair and parts aspects are recession proof.  Both industries see considerably more work in hard economic times when people keep their cars and vacuums longer and rely on repairs, parts and maintenance more.

Also, despite the negative spin on both industries, today's vehicles and vacuums are the best performing/operating than ever in their history.  With some TLC both [vehicles and vacuums] can easily last 7-9 years before replacement.
