Hi,
I was web surfing and thought I might share info on some of what's going on in other markets vacuumwise.
The following link is to a PDF brochure of LG's latest offerings in the UK. Please note the blurb claiming that one-third of Brits like to vacuum every day. True?

Not meant to prove/disprove the statement about daily vacuuming, and I am one who does. Intuitively it seems reasonable and logical that inhabitants of smaller dwellings would vacuum more frequently if not dail than those with larger homes. Think about it for awhile. Have you ever moved from a large home to a smaller one? Or the other way? Smaller to larger. Did your vacuuming schedule increase in frequency, decrease and/or stay the same? I suspect its more frequently for the smaller living areas and less frequently for the larger.

Hi,
A lot has to do with traffic, family size, etc. Regardless of home size, some may feel the need to vacuum more if they have kids and lots of company. Persons living alone, couples with kids that have flown the nest and those who don't do much entertaining may well see less need to vacuum.

Well Carmine, in smaller homes dust appears more regularly if it doesn't have the space to circulate. Since moving into a smaller flat I seem to be sucking up shelf dust more than I did in a larger flat. Mind you it means I don't have to take optional attachments with me such as a long extension pipe or extension hoses with my Sebo Felix; the ceilings are so low that the standard hose on the Felix reaches up comfortably and changing a light bulb (im 6ft tall) means no more ladders!
