Getting Along and Forum
As a side note, it would be nice if we could reply directly to someone's post and have it quote the post. It can be difficult to read through the entire thread to figure out what was responded to.
At the end of the day, these are just vacuums. The amount of emotional energy that gets put into these posts can really put one off. There is almost a fear of getting attacked if you say something someone may not agree with. Doesn't seem worth the hassle to argue over any of this.
What I have found is the way to really keep my carpets clean is to vacuum more frequently, vacuum slowly and go over strokes, and vacuum in different directions on certain days. Just by doing this, I am not pulling much out of my carpets anymore. I would use a basic bagless vacuum to see how well my vacuums were performing and was surprised how much came up after I used my Sebo or Kirby. With the Maytag, I vacuum more thoroughly, more often, and much more slowly and there is no longer any fluff/hair that comes out of the carpet. I get a bit of dust which is expected as no vacuum gets it all. Whatever vacuum you use, if you follow my advice, I think your carpets will be pretty clean (with exception to certain vacuums that are very poor). Vacuuming regularly and thoroughly helps keep dirt and dust from becoming embedded in the carpet in the first place.
