Q:LOL He barks, jumps, whines and bites at the vacuum while I am using it(and with a black GSD I do have to use it alot!!). Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get him used to this? When he was a puppy it did not bother him at all but as he got older, the minute it comes out of the closet he starts whining and barking at it. I have tried telling him NO as I vacuum and he will stop for a 1/2 a minute and watch it but it seems that as I am moving it back and forth across the rug he just can't help himself and he's on it again. I have tried distracting him with toys and cookies to no avail. Short of putting him outside (or in a closet JK) I don't know what to do. Anyone else who had this problem (or not) and may have some help?

Banshee, I have 2 GSDs, and, both of them, (one is a Female, other a Male) both act silly when I have my vacuum going also. One will bark at it, and, jump around also. The other wants to hang around and watch it thus not moving out of the way......he even will paw at it, and, defy it. My (F) Rottweiler just moves, and, stays clear, so, I guess GSDs in our case see a Vacuum as some form of invader or something. I just deal with it. My female is almost 9 y/o now, and my male is almost 6 y/o. I don't even try to change their behavior. I guess I'm glad they don't go running away and whining. I'd rather see them rather macho unlike my cats whom head to cover when they see me plug it in.

Q:is there a name for fear of vaccum cleaners? because I KNOW i have it! ever since i was an infant i would screem frickin bloody murder in my crib when my mom would run teh vacuum cleaner. when i was jsut a small child i would run from it, afraid it would suck up my toes. and now, today, at 14, i cannot STAND the loud noise they make and i do NOT put my toes in front of one. it takes me a few moments before i can even bring myself to turn it on. the bigger, louder they are, the worse my reactions. sometimes at work (i volunteer at a veterinary hospital) i have to ask one of my co-workers to do it because i will purposly busy myself just to get away from it.please, do not laugh at me. it's embarrassing enough and i just want to know the name of it.thankxx! :]

I believe it's Zuigerphobia. I think I have it too, I saw my moms toes get run over once and since then, ehhhhhhh. It's usually more rare in older teens and adults but no reason to be embarrassed, it's kinda cool, it makes us stand out????

Q:Are there any ladies out there who use a vacuum cleaner that has an inflatable bag on it? What kind do you have? Do you like it?

i had a eureka..and then I got a bagless eureka...im sorry but i luv the bagless one betta...it just seems it picks up more dirt!

Q:are canister vacuum cleaners good brands?so where are they for sale online

Not worth buying an expensive vacuum. I like the Kenmore brand. $250 and it comes with all the attachments and you don't have to order it online you can go to the store and pick it up.

Q:There are 4 adults and 1 dog in my home. One of the adults tends to quot;shedquite a lot and has ruined every cheap vacuum we have bought with her hair. I would like to get a nice vacuum anyway, and I've found a great deal on Dyson vacuums, so the one I get has to be a Dyson. However, regardless of the deal, I don't want to buy a nice vacuum if the human hair will ruin it. I've narrowed it down to the DC25 All Floor, or the DC25 Animal. Is there a difference between the two? And will human hair ruin either one? Or do you have a suggestion for a different Dyson (I'd like all floor capable and ball technology)? Thank you.

Hi, okorder / Best wishes, Ryan Dyson Customer Service

Q:preferably dyson brand but it doesnt really matter

I am sure Vacuum Cleaner will be available on Huge Black Friday Sales. Check it out, honey.

Q:I can't use brush roll vacuums due to long hair on the carpet which has destroyed other vacuums with brush-rolls. I know Miele Art is one -does anyone know any others? TY.

Every canister vacuum I know of has a way to put a plain floor brush on the end of the wand instead of a beater brush. Shop-vacs also just have plain brushes.

Q:I want to return this new Foreskin Bedazzler, but I'm embarrassed to ask where they bought it

Vacuum cleaners? I got one off an ex. I wanted to shove the hose up his.......(no not in a kinky way) And as a surprise he gave me an extension lead so I wouldn't have to keep plugging it out and in while I vacuumed all of the rooms, how thoughtful was he?! lol at your gift ;) you should just use it, I'm sure a lot of thought went into buying it.. Yeah my birthday is in May, I'll bedazzle my boobs or do something creative like that. Thanks Lep :)

Q:I have just bought a vacuum cleaner, but am very disappointed with it as the suction is much weaker than my old one. Apparently, the suction power on this new vacuum cleaner is 260 AW.Should I get another one or do all vacuum cleaners have a weaker suction than the old ones.Please give me your advice on this.

What vacuum cleaner did you purchase? 260 AW (air watts), if being measured from the base of the vacuum and not the hose is actually quite a bit of power. For example, the Dyson DC25 All Floors only produces 220 Air watts, and is considered to be one of the more powerful vacuums on the market today. Your problem is most likely either function of poor design, a clog in the machine, or you may have just gotten a lemon. Unless the problem is that it is clogged then you will want to return the vacuum and get a different one. Here is a good resource with some reviews on some of the top models (and some they recommend are less than $150, which is nice), and some details specs/explanations on how to understand suction power. Vacuum technology hasn't improved that much over the last several decades (with the exception of the cyclone technology from Dyson), but suction power hasn't necessarily decreased. It almost just seems like more vacuum manufacturers are making vacuums that are going to need to be replaced in 4-5 years, unlike the old days when they lasted for 20. Good luck, I hope this helps!

Q:Greetings, all! I am currently cleaning my room, as in looking for dust spots and trying to sweep it up. I tried vacuuming, but my bird got scared and jumped to the bottom of the cage, so I figured to get a little birdhouse to move him while I did it. I also cleaned the lamp that I was using to give him light at night, and I accidentally swept too fast, I saw the particles rise around the cage. I got so worried. Should I be worried? Or is it only a large accumulation that could damage the bird? What can I do?Thanks in advance!

Get a vacuum cleaner that will pick up dust. These new vacuum cleaners they've come up with have Hepa filters in them and are supposed to be good if you have allergies and such. Might be helpful for the bird as well. I have one myself because I have 2 cats and a lot of hair shedding. It works great. Might want to try that.
