How do you vacuum? When you need to use power tools, just run cords or stick to batteries?
- jlebrech 9y agoyou can get a roomba, i'm sure those run off batteries.
- nsxwolf 9y agoThey're fine for daily maintenance, but sometimes you need to go in with the heavy hitter.
- agumonkey 9y agoI wonder if there are low power alternative to vacuum, depending on the surface of course. For actual power tools well.. I help my kids like indoor biking :heh:
- ashark 9y ago> I wonder if there are low power alternative to vacuum, depending on the surface of course. If the famous vacuum cleaner repairman Reddit AMA is to be believed, the overwhelming majority of vacuums purchased are so in name only, producing far too weak a vacuum to do any good and relying on carpet-damaging powerful brushes to do the cleaning. So we don't even have working light-ish vacuums, let alone low-power ones, let alone affordable light and low power ones. The ones that actually do what they're supposed to are still heavy and expensive (and, I assume, power hungry).
- agumonkey 9y agoThanks a lot for the return, but I really meant "alternative to vacuum" as in not using air (lack of)pressure to carry particles away.
- njarboe 9y agoVacuums are a much more recent invention than rugs/carpets. Take rug outside. Shake or beat out dirt. Put back in house.
- noir_lord 9y agoI have one of the first generation Dysons that just won't die, it definitely works as a vacuum cleaner, never use the rotary attachment. GF has a German brand hoover I always forget that has insane suction.
- njarboe 9y agoHave had a Miele vacuum for over 25 years. Still works great, rarely use the rotary attachment. It was about $700 though.
- noir_lord 9y agoMiele! that's the one, that thing is an engineering marvel. Controllable suction, attachments that clip together with incredible precision, the thing feels put together rather than slapped together.
