Q:Back in it's day this phrase sounded rather modern.

Not yet, but I pray to the Scandinavian gods every night that IKEA will formulate a Dyson vacuum for the masses, perhaps called a Suctionflugen or a Vacuumuum.

Q:My son just started crawling and of course tries to pick up every little thing on the carpet...heres the problem, he is terrified of the vacuum and too heavy for me to hold or keep in a carrier as I do it. How often do you do these chores, does anyone have a way for me to help my son not be afraid?

From what I've heard it's super common for babies to be scared of vacuum cleaners. Oddly enough, my son's always been in love with ours though. I kind of contribute it to the fact that I've always been a neurotic vacuumer (would do the floors every single day)... so I think he got used to the noise in utero. Either way, I'm lucky that it wasn't a problem in our house, and I still vacuum every other day... I'd just leave him in the middle of the room and vacuum around him while he laughed. Now that he's walking, he chases it everywhere and tries to tackle it. You could try doing it in the evening once he's sleeping if that wouldn't wake him up. Or, I'd just keep trying... eventually he won't be so scared of it. Try just turning it on and letting him touch it and get used to it instead of trying to get it over with as quickly as possible. Just a thought :-) Good luck though, and I wouldn't stress about keeping the floor perfect. It might just be easier to do a daily sweep on your hands knees to pick up carpet junk.

Q:Hello! I was wondering if Vacuum cleaners get rid of germs. I mean, when I think about it, doesn't it probably suck all the germs up? Perhaps it may not kill germs, but it at least gets rid of them on a particular surface(like the carpet.)And if they don't get rid of germs, than how can I get rid of germs on the carpet? I know that Steam Cleaning and shampooing the carpet are good measures, but I don't want to do that on like a weekly basis. I am looking for something that can get rid of germs at least once a week.

I know all the green people out there will hate my answer, but if you are concerned about germs in your carpet, the best stuff i know is Lysol disinfectant spray. I spray it on my carpets, my mattresses, couch arms, everywhere. It costs, it's not good for the planet, but it works. Vacuums can't vacuum up or kill germs. Sorry. Not yet.

Q:I want to buy a vacuum cleaner. So I went to OKorder and try to search for good yet cheap vacuum cleaners, and I want to buy this one:

A bagless vacuum works by sucking the durt up into a clear chamber that has a filter over the motor's suction intake. The dust collects in the chamber, which is removable. When it's full, you just remove the chamber and dump out the dirt, and clean off the intake filter. Bagless vacuums work pretty well. In fact, shop vacs are bagless and work the same way, except the whole vacuum body is the dirt chamber. The advantage is that you don't have to buy and replace vacuum bags all the time.

Q:I have a one-year old and lots of crumbs on my floor that our vacuum won't pick up. We currently have a bag less Bissell and I hate it. We've replaced all the filters and cleaned it but it still hardly picks up a thing. It leaves little hair balls on our carpet and kicks dust back in the air. I have to open the windows every time I vacuum so we can breathe!We're looking to get a new vacuum and I am interested in any brand and reviews you can recommend. My parents have had an Electrolux for 10+ years and it works great. However, the price tag ($500) is a little much for me. I'd also rather not go bag less again. Any suggestions?

If you own your home and can afford it, I highly recommend installing a central vacuum. The bags rarely need changing, it makes a huge difference as far as allergies, and they can even install floor vents where you can sweep crumbs into them. Might feel like a big investment, but after 13 years ours works as well as new.

Q:Getting women is like selling vacuum cleaners...knock on enough doors and you WILL make a sale!Always keep that in mind when you think that there is no hope or some chick is doing you wrong. There are literally hundreds of chicks out there that are right for you just in your area! You just have to put forth the EFFORT into finding them, it a numbers game.It took me awhile of selling vacuum cleaners, but eventually I got the sale that allowed me to retire.This concept also applies for the ladies, however they aren't usually the one's doing the quot;knockingquot;.

Curious analogy..........I'm not sure you asked a question, sharing this with your date isn't going to make you hot to her........what exactly is your question? Unless, of course, you're saying you think vacuum cleaners are romantic............somehow....... Luck

Q:How do I repair the motor of the vacuum cleaner?

Turn the motor shaft or vibrating lever by hand. At this point, the motor shall keep the passage

Q:what is the best bagged vacuum cleaner? I'm tired of the bagless cleaners and looking for one with a bag.?

I am going through the same thing. I hate my bagless. My sister just bought an orek and she loves it. They are pretty expensive so she found a lightly used one on OKorder and it works great. It's really quiet and light. She has a two year old that was pretrified by vacuums but this one is so quiet, she doesn't mind it.
