Well, after several years of abuse, the POS vacuum I got at the flea market has finally crapped out. Well, more the thing that held the hose cracked so the hose is flopping (which is going to drive me NUTS) and much to my dismay, the spinning thing with bristles on the bottom that picks up dirt doesn't spin anymore even after cleaning (just discovered that, who knows how long thats been broken for). My little floor sweeper also broke (or I think needs new rechargeable batteries, just don't know where to find them).
Anyways, it's time for a new vacuum. One that will take the, er, abuse I put on it. I need to find a new one that is DURABLE, and good to pick up seeds, feathers, dried poop (of the parrot variety), thread (I do a lot of sewing) and of course general household dust and whatnot. I hate the idea of having to replace those filter/bag things, so it would have to be the kind you can just dump out and wash the filter. I vacuum daily, so it needs to withstand a good amount of use and abuse. I was kind of thinking one of the Dyson 'Pet" vacuums, but wondering what you all use for your bird messes and in general?
