I love my 6 year old vacuum, I refuse to buy a new one because I know that unless I spend $400 on a Dyson it will be at best a shinier version of my hard to find favorite. I clean filters religiously and did a small hose repair that MacGyver took for notes. But lately the pull has eased and my unyielding courage could no longer take the new fluffy rug trend that is being successfully showcased in every room of my home. I put new filters in, especially new HEPA, and it was like an old western where they slapped a horse's butt. She is back! Fuck change, fuck planned obsolescence, fuck Dyson, just not in my house. Until I have money to burn.
