    Power nozzle and wand Lights on new models

    Are old vacuums really that dirty?

    Buy her a Dirt Devil... ...and show her how much escapes the high efficiency cyclone and then promptly blows out around the seal before it ever hits the foam and HEPA filters. If that doesn't settle it, arguing is futile.
