I bought the old one in Austin just after moving into what would be my last apartment in A-Town. That dates it around 2000. It was a good vacuum with a sensor that turned green when the carpet was clean. That gizmo was the reason I bought it I think. Well, lately the green light isn't noticing there's still dog hair down there.
So, after a successful test run with the new vacuum cleaner, I put the old one on the curb. I taped a sign on it that read, "Still Sucks!"
It was out there less than 10 minutes.
I didn't even bother emptying the canister, so whoever took it got some free dog hair as well. It might even smell like dog upon use---we wouldn't know.
Yvonne and I were joking the sign should read, "Free vacuum and dog hair" or my more flashy "Free vacuum and pillow stuffing!"

We're in the market for a new one... what kind did you get? And my old one's got you beat -- mine's sucked since 1995!
We got a yellow Eureka vacuum with a duster extension thing. I think it was $70 at Walmart.
since, '95, lol
