Inherited my grandma’s brown one she bought in the 70s. It works fine, but the castors, rubber pieces are starting to show some age, so it’s destined for my holiday cabin. Just bought a brand new one: love it and and expect to have it most of my life.

Just bought a new Filter Queen vacuum, this putting the one that’s been in my family for 45 years into semi-retirement (will be going to my cabin)

I was a little reserved in doing that because I figured mine was doing the same job as a new one- it wasn’t lol. I’ve had off and on sinus and allergy issues for over two years and am already feeling loads better after using it a few times to clean up my rug and do some dusting. Thanks to a lot of local wildfire smoke, it’s been a rough few days and I typically feel drained all day. I’m not 100%, but feel tons better since I’ve been using it. Will be investing in a Filter Queen Defender soon as well. Neither are cheap, but they’re built well, very serviceable and the Defender air purifier claims to be 3 times better than HEPA. I work from home and HATE buying something more than once if I can, so it’s worthwhile to me.
