    Anybody deny letting you see they're vacuum?

    When we were little and younger, we would go to our parents friends houses or our friends houses and ask to see or use they're vacuum. We've all done this right? Well..

    Kirby D-80 Fan..

    I was going to loan my Kirby d-80 to a friends mom, who kills any vacuum... like, it's not her fault, she'll check the carpet to see if there's anything and there usually is a few coins, but the shag is so thick she can't see embedded coins, and screws... and one time I ran over a drill bit...

    Metal or Plastic Fan?

    Replacing a fan in my friend Oreck because it dosent seem to have much airflow, and the fan is chewed to bits, so would a metal fan withstand coins and stuff better than a plastic? Stuff gets swept up all the time on accident, so would a metal be better or plastic?
