Q:My parents bought one for $1500 and I haven't noticed any difference. It seems a $300 dollar one could do just as good a job

Right they are built like tanks, Powerful and rugged. In fact I have an old kirby vacuum unit, just the motor and blower mounted on a old shop vac that went bad. The Kirby was bought by my grandmother over 50 years ago and its still running.

Q:My little cousin cries a lot when I turn the vacuum on and the dog runs away barking. Why? Sorry if this was a dumb question, I was just curious.

I don't think it's a dumb question at all. I think it's because it's so loud and it moves around like it's alive!!!

Q:. Why is the consideration of a black hole as a 'cosmic vacuum cleaner' so wrong?

Far from the black hole, the gravitational field of a black hole is no different than that of a star having the same mass. Stars don't suck things in, although stuff hitting the surface will stick. Similarly, stuff getting near the event horizon of a black hole will fall in, but stuff on a trajectory whose closest approach is a few Schwarzschild radii will just zoom around like a comet.

Q:This questions is about a nephew. He is 5. I have 3 children ages 5,3 and 18 mo and the two older ones have never seemed to know so much about 1 toipic and talk so much about it. Is this typical or abit on the autistic specrum of my nephew. He's been like this about vacums since he was about 4.

It can be very normal depending on the child and the situation if that is what they hear about that is what they'll know. Also the child may just like something and want to learn about it. Who knows your child might grow up to be very proficient in that kind of stuff.

Q:Hi there - I've been given an OLD Elextrolux vacuum cleaner (a canister one) that seems to have lost some suction...and I'm wondering if it would be worth it to get it fixed? I do realize this is more of an opinion question...My main concern is not spending as much $$ to get this vacuum fixed as it would to buy a new vacuum! Thanks.

odds are you would have trouble finding the replacement parts...

Q:What is the difference between a 2200W and 2000W vacuum cleaner?

200 watts (give or take 37) Is that a trick question? They both suck.

Q:Every dog I've ever owned (of at least four different breeds) reacted to vaccum cleaners oddly. They bolt in terror at the first sight of it, and sometimes bark hysterically. Surely other people notice similar trends.

as you now a dog has a sensitive nose and a vaccum cleaner picks up and throughs cents around and dust you cant see ,the dog thinks that between the niose and the dust this vaccum guys got to go ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,totally disturbing his territory.

Q:Currently I have an Electrolux 2 in 1 Pronto but I am not satisfied with this vacuum cleaner because I have to leave it plugged in for hours to charge and recently it has not been picking up the dirt very well.. I use it to clean a linoleum floor. Can anyone suggest a good vacuum cleaner for a linoleum floor that does not have to be plugged in? Thanks.

I have a Dyson vacumn cleaner..I always had such problems with all my vacumn cleaners until I bought this Dyson...I had to buy one about every 2 yrs..for some reason or another...I got so tired of it one day ,I went and splurged on this one...I have it over 4 yrs now and NO problems ever...I don't need to replace bags or filters....The cord is extra long...It is very strong,,(In fact the first time I used it ,,I knocked it down my cellar steps and I thought it broke on the concrete..I did come apart, but I put it back together ,no problem...I talked my sister into getting one...We both swear by them... It was well worth the extra money.. Good luck.

Q:need a new vacuum cleaner what is the best brand?

I just bought the Boss Smart Vac by Eureka. It works great..I did have to take it back to wal mart twice to exchange for another.. Just stupid little things wrong with it. Like the handle release button broke off one time.. The one I have now works great no problems so far. Just make sure when you switch it over from floor to hose that the handle is in the reclined position or it will mess up the belt. I found out the hard way. Good Luck

Q:What is the best lightweight vacuum cleaner for use in a home with pets? I am willing to spend up to $300.

Dysons are great, but a little pricey. Hoover makes one with a great attachment that hooks on to the hose. It's a rotating spin brush and it works awesome on furniture (and great for cars) to get all the hair off. It is lightweight and works great. All the filters are washable and it is bag-less.I can not remember what Hoover named it but it is a deep red, with the spin attachment (you'll know what I'm talking about as soon as you see it) I payed about $130 for mine and got it right at Wal-mart. It's worth trying, Wal-mart is pretty good about taking stuff back if you feel it didn't work properly for your needs. I think you keep it though.
