Interesting about the holes clogging my is doing that now too, I've had it 3 years. I am constantly taking a old tooth brush and then canned air to keep them open Sally www.embroiderybysally.com (new) -----Original Message----- From: showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Kris Kudel Sent: Tuesday, January 09, 2007 2:37 PM To: sheila lieberman; the list Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: vacuums, yet again. ===================== From: sheila lieberman <dgshwpromo@xxxxxxxxx> Date: 2007/01/09 Tue AM 11:24:43 CST To: the list <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] vacuums, yet again. I have an Oxigen vacuum. The bags are a fortune and small. It does a nice job on the hair and dirt, but my housekeeper is killing it and I am tired or ordering bags on line monthly. About the Dyson....... If you have a rather new one, is it easy to understand? Mom has one about 2 years old. It requires some knowledge of engineering to work. I get it, but my housekeeper will have a lot of trouble dealing with it. Addtitionally, I found that Mom's does not work as well now as it did when I visited when it was new. It seems to slowly clog with dust throughout the tubes and such. Are the new ones any better? Now, after about 2 years, hers is just average for cleaning, not as outstanding as it was before it got used a lot. I am ready to go bagless, but I want something that will continue to work. sheila __________________________________________________ After much debate I got one. As long as you keep up with monthly maintenance (dust out the canister and where it goes, and washing out the lifetime filter (takes about 12 hours to dry), and the hoses are that easy to take apart and see if there is a blockage even *I* can do it...lol) It is very simple to use. 1 button to turn it on and just put to carpet and it lowers and raises as needed. Also has a barefloor so the brushes don't run. I love mine. BTW..... they NOW come with a 5 year warranty instead of the old 2 year warranty.
