It's funny - when I'm using one of my Luxes, I use the cordwinder without thinking about it.
When I use the TriStar, I wind the cord around the machine without thinking about it.
Each machine has its advantages and disadvantages. After vacuuming with a Lux, I see dust in the room again much sooner than I do with the TriStar. And that's an inconvenience of a sort, right there.
