We are using my grandmothers mid 1970's hoover upright. All parts are still
available at a reasonable price. The vacuum never broke down until 2003. We
paid $40.00 to repair and have used it daily since. Don't buy an expensive
new fangled vacuum buy a good vintage one.

We've been through 4 or 5 vacuum cleaners over the last 6 years.
Hoovers, Kenmoores, some other brands as well, with no luck. They last
6 months to a year, and then just crap out. We take them in for
repairs, and they come home still broken. I'm at the end of my rope.

Does anyone have experience with an upright vacuum cleaner that will
actually last 5 years or more?


thanks,
