Just buy a $100 vacuum every year. I had a Dyson, got tired of fixing it. Thought a Miele was the ticket, I've taken it apart countless times, I've never had a vacuum so prone to clogging but so difficult to disassemble. Made it 18 whole months (and two heads) before my wife refused to use it anymore.

Now I just buy a new $100 vacuum every year. She's happy. I'm happy.

Isn’t this opposed to the very idea of this subreddit?

Probably, but I don't believe there is a "buy for life" vacuum. Miele is often touted as the cream of the crop and it wasn't any better than any other vacuum I've owned. It was worse in fact when you consider the cost of ownership and how easily it clogged.

I mean we have unlimited space in landfills for junk. Right?

When I can't buy a cost effective vacuum, sure. I'm not paying $500 for a vacuum to take a shit in 18 months when a $100 vacuum will last 12 months.
