If you haven't learned by 40 that all cordless vaccuums are terrible, then you're beyond help.

An important thing us people at 40 have to keep in mind is tech advances and gets better all the time. The cordless vac I have now works great for being portable and usable in our townhouse, which has no carpet.
Would a good corded vacuum be better? Depends on the terms. It'll be better max performance, bit I don't have to lug a heavier vacuum upstairs to clean stuff in my room, and what I have works.
As a photography hobbyist, it's like saying why take a picture with a phone camera, m43, or apsc when you could use full frame or medium format? The cameras are objectively better quality pictures, but they are more expensive and larger, especially when it comes to lenses. Sometimes convenience is "better."
Kudos for a great argument. I completely agree that in some cases a cordless will suffice. But in general I feel they all are terrible and at some point become disappointing. Guess I just have a lot of need for something that eats carpet for breakfast.
We have a good one. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
That's a symptom of early onset Republican as well.
Cord management is such a big part of vacuuming to me I don't think I would be very excited about a cordless vacuum. It would just be missing part of the experience for me.
The jokes on you. Vacuums have been exciting me since I was 14. /S
Our 50 year old Kenmore central vac will probably outlast me. Guess I'll have to find something else to get excited about.
Have you considered a cordless drill or jigsaw?
It would excite me more if I could afford a place big enough to feel like owning one would be a necessity. My small dustbuster is enough (which is a cordless vacuum, technically).
You mean a robot vacuum?
Somehow I read "execute" and had fully accepted my fate before I realized it said "excite"
23 here and this has always excited be.
I'm 39 and I'm just happy when I'm regular for two week stretches.

Yes, but it's THE WIDTH OF A 500 YEN
