Obviously I like buying things once and for all, but I feel it’s extra difficult with anything electrical because I just don’t know that much about it personally, and I can’t exactly check the insides.
So lately I’ve been wanting to buy an upright vacuum. I don’t know if there are more durable brands, what kind of accessories I should consider to make my life easier, what budget I should consider, or what characterics are more likely to make it shorter lived than others.
The casing — made to look like fancy metal — is cheap plastic. One fall on the hard floor (and it will eventually fall and hit the floor) and the casing breaks. Pretty soon your vacuum is covered in duct tape to keep it from leaking air.
These vacuums have some merit, but they are def not designed to last more than a few years.
