More digital sillynonsense from Jeff Putz

Our vacuum cleaner doesn't suck. I mean literally, it's not sucking. Being bagless, it has a bunch of filters. The big exhaust filter on the back looked OK, but the ones for the cyclonic container and the other internal one were a mess.

I went to three stores before I found replacements, the only one coming through being Wal-Mart, unfortunately. I swear, every Wal-Mart is a dump, crowded, and there are never enough cashiers. Between that and their bullying business tactics and accounting for fully 1/4 of all Chinese imports, I hate them. I don't have a problem with fair trade, I have a problem with their bullshit "made in America" claim.

And did I mention every store is a dump?

We have a Dyson, even Mary has a Dyson. No problems at all.

Jeff, get a Dyson. It's made in England...and don't ever go to Wal-Mart.

I have successfully boycott the Wal-Mart for, um, two months now.

I have a Eureka, with a bag (much cleaner than bagless types) and it was even rated by Consumer Reports as a "best buy.". I bought it from a vacuum cleaner store for less then the "discount" stores charged. Knowledgable and friendly employees and a good source of spare parts if anything goes wrong.
