Vacuums, a review

I would like to question the idiot who thought this up. AE: Sears Kenmore Upright bag-less, or any other bag-less vacuum. They advertise that you will not have the mess of changing those filthy dirty vacuum cleaner bags anymore. But what they don't tell you is what you will have to do and what will happen when you remove the plastic bucket from the machine to empty it. You will come face to face with the dirt and filth and dust mites. This fine dust will take to the air in a New York minute. There is no bag between you and them. The fine dust remains inside the bucket until you take it outside and pound it on the porch. Forget doing this job indoors, it will get dirt and dust everywhere. My award of stupid products goes to this absurd design.

Why would anyone buy one of these? I will tell you why. Because they get to see all the dirt whirl around inside of the plastic bucket. Its true. How do I know? I asked an honest person.

Another stupid award goes to the inventor of the Rainbow vacuum cleaner. All I here from people who bought this one is that they are "so good" because they get things "so clean." Bull! That is just a lot of propaganda pounded into your brains.

Why do I hate Rainbow Vacuum cleaners? Because first, before you use them, you have to attach everything, (Which to me amounts to putting it together.) Then you have to put water in one end of it and you have to pull that bucket with water around behind you as you vacuum the floor. Then, you have to empty that water and clean out that bucket. (You have GOT to be kidding!)

I am quite sure it was a man who designed the Rainbow vacuum. Why? Because they don't have to get it out three or four times a week and use it, that's why. It is cumbersome, time consuming, and wears you out. Most people I know who own one of these also owns a small sweeper or upright vacuum cleaner also. Why? Because that's the one they really use. Who wants to drag out that Rainbow monster twice a week, or even once a week for that matter?

The people who own these don't complain about them. It took me a while to figure that one out. They don't complain because they feel so stupid for buying it in the first place. They pretend to like it. It makes them feel better.

In defense of The Rainbow Vacuum Cleaner

They are too heavy, and too expensive. Kirby vacuum salesmen make a huge commission on the sale of a new vacuum. That is why they are so expensive. This is true of any vacuum cleaner sold by a guy who comes to your house and demonstrates it. If you are going to have a guy come to your house to demonstrate a vacuum cleaner, make sure they give you the gift they promised you for your time. You know, the set of knives or T-bone steaks. Your time is worth it, even if you don't buy it. Kirby vacuums are not expensive because they are "great" vacuum cleaners. Forget that lie. Someone once told me their Kirby could purify and clean the air. I asked them if they ever used it for that. They said no. If you want something to clean your air get an air cleaner. End of story.

Buy a small inexpensive lightweight upright vacuum cleaner that stores nicely in a broom closet that you can grab for a quick clean up without much effort. You will save time, energy, and money.

If you are really worried about flying dust, invest a little more money and get those more expensive double or triple insulated vacuum cleaner bags. Springfield residents, go to Gambles and ask Leonard. He is the guy who suggested them to me. I like them, they are worth the extra money. Thanks Leonard!

P.S ....And If your cheap upright vacuum cleaner does not last a lifetime, just buy another one, after all, hopefully, you did not pay more than $150 for it. I bet you can even find one for $35.
