That’s assuming carmakers know what they are doing. Case in point:

“Once the recall is underway, dealers will replace the recalled jack with a metal jack with a different design. Undelivered vehicles will have the plastic jack removed prior to delivery and owners will be given a replacement metal jack as soon as one is available.”

Yeah that's what pissed me off with mine. Seriously stupid, a Kirby takes literally 3 min to pull the brushroll out and fully clean anything that got wrapped up off and readjust it if wanted.

Oh and I also have a Dyson, two actually. They are total garbage. So disappointed in them. They clog so easily and like you said have to be vacuumed out.
May as well set your $500 on fire.

Uh......my Ball allergen two actually literally did catch on fire so close enough! I bought the marketing hype and was so letdown by it I went on a quest to find the "best" vacuum, that's how I ended up with what I have now. Nothing like two finger vacuuming with so much suction you can see the whole carpet get lifted off the pad, the power assist makes the thing have zero arm effort.

Total garbage. So angry I fell for the hype and have $1,000 invested in them.

there is a German brand that is highly recommended by the shoppe I went to. Need to look it up

you really have to talk the vacuum repair shop owners. They will tell you what is best. When my Sears model broke, I thought maybe I will see if it can get fixed this time around. $100 and we have been good for quite a while.

Rainbow makes the best unit for stairs IMO, the powered head is better than an Oreck brushbar and WAY lighter to use. I haven't found one yet that I like/right price so I'm just using an Oreck for stairs right now since I have an old one. I have three carpeted staircases so it's a pain to use the Kirby in stair mode due to weight

I tested it by throwing two full handfuls of dirt onto the carpets and walking over it, each vacuum got one foward and back pass at 10 seconds total. The Kirby not only won I thought it cheated somehow since it got all of it, for me that made it worth it to live with the lower convenience of having to do the tool changeovers

They are very good, I almost got one but decided I preferred the outright power and self propel function of the Kirby. Oddly enough it also takes less power at the wall.....

$1000......but I bought I used G6 and diamond edition from greatvacs for $500 each, I also found one someone was throwing away and refit it and gave it as a gift to my parents.
I have Karastan triexta carpets (you leave footprints in it and they are DENSE) in my house and they no joke will stall out most vacuums but these things just somehow do not care at all. Literally 2 finger effort if the assist is live, turn it off and you will have a very hard time moving it at all due to how hard it seals to the carpet.
This stuff is very difficult to vacuum since the uprights tend to sink in and stall. Killed my Dyson animal on day one after we installed two rooms.....

I like it better than my Dyson. It is not quite as powerful but doesn't clog nearly as easily the floor brush never has hair tangles. I clean it out with a leaf blower every couple of months that's it.
This is the best vacuum ever made, no contest. It is at least 5x more powerful than any Dyson I don't think there is a more powerful vacuum except for industrial. There is no dust leakage at all can vacuum very small particles even dry wall dust, cement, flour etc. this stuff will clog or even ruin almost all vacuums. It's heavy the body is cast aluminum alloy.

I do it once a week minimum, usually every 3 days or whenever I see anything on them. We don't wear shoes inside/have house only slippers but the hardwood areas are walked on with shoes and you inevitably kick particles toward the carpeted areas

“ they don’t make them like they used to“. Really is real.
