Hi Everyone,
You may remember my vacuum that was only 1 1/2 years old bit the dust. The manufacturer offered to mail us a replacment motor. We got it as promised, but my hubby has been so sick the past month, he has not had time to fix it!:cry: Then I read some reviews on line. One person stated she took hers to a vacuum repair shop and they had to ship it out to be fixed. They said the wires were too short to work with!:yuck: She also said the repair shop said the motor is too small for the size of the vacuum! I'm a little worried my hubby won't be able to fix it after all!
I had purchased a very smalll Dirt Devil (the size for a small apartment or house trailer) and have been using it for over a month. It picks up good, but is a pain in the *** since I have to empty it all the time since it's bagless!!! It also clogs all the time!
I have been trying to decide if I should buy a replacement vacuum or not. I really like the one I had
! I stopped by K-Mart today and was looking at features, etc. of vacuums. They had a Eureka Boss Smart which I had read Consumer Reports gave a good rating on. I also liked it because it was the only one that uses a bag (hard to find) - I decided I don't like the bagless! The only one they had was opened, but it looked like all the parts were there. I decided to ask a sales rep. if they had any others w/an unopened box. He said to me, "I'm sorry to say this is the only one we have, but it will ring up at $30!!!!
I of course said, "I'll take it!" It was normally $150. I actually ended up getting it for $20 because I had a $10 coupon if I used my Sears card!!!
I brought it home and used it already tonight. It worked great. I still like my old one better and want my hubby to fix it, but this will work for now and I'll save it for when my daughter moves out. She is 18 and starting college next year.
Just thought I would share my story. I have to say this is probably the biggest bargain I have ever gotten!
