They still make great vacuums, some are hit and miss.
The Eureka Brushroll Clean is a great vacuum. I got it on rollback and at that price especially it was a great deal, and still running today. In 2017 at one point it was being run for 30m-1hr at a time, vacuuming out cupboards and under cabinets and really deep-cleaning the kitchen.
I need to get the Quick-Up stick vac still.
