At a garage sale, I picked up three vacuum cleaners for almost nothing

three of the four work fine (the Dirt Devil has a broken belt & roller).


How are 4 going to work better than one?


Four floors.
One on each floor.

But really, I just want the two best ones.
The other two I'll take apart for fun.

Install a whole house vac.


I already have a whole house vac.

With a good central vac why would you EVER want a "regular" vacuum
cleaner??????

We had a Beam for about 20 years, and it outcleaned ANY portable vac I
ever tried. I replaced it last year with a new CanaVac unit and it has
WAY more suction - it will literally lift carpet.
