1) How do you start vacuuming? Do you turn the machine on first or do you recline the vacuum first? Uprights only. I do both really.
I recline then power on, but put it upright and then turn it off
2) How often do you unplug the vacuum? To do the downstairs I unplug twice and twice for the upstair(s) aswell.
It depends on which machine Im using
3)How often do you vacuum? We do it like once or twice a day, sometimes even 3 times cos we have lots of guests over etc etc.
Every other day in my room, but bi-weekly whole house
4)Do you prefer Upright or Cylinder? I prefer Upright, I dont like Cylinder for any purpose especially for car cleaning, the handles are too big on those too.
Upright for carpet, but canister anywhere
5) What is your fav brand? Mine is Dyson
Electrolux (pre 1994)
6)Do you prefer old or modern vacs?I like both, but I am mainly on the modern side of everything really, modern vacuums, modern music etc etc
Old since they clean better and last longer
7)Do you turn the brush off for hard floors? I used to, I don't really do it now. I would use the hard floor setting on a cylinder tho.
I use floor tools on the canisters but turn the brush off on uprights (unless i cant turn off, then I remove belt)
8) Bagged or bagless? I prefer bagless, but bagged for vacuuming anything even things like plaster or whatever. With a bagless vac I dont like vacuuming up big things, even things like a sweet wrapper cos I want dust only in the bin, lol IDK why or is it my OCD? Am I the only one?
Im OCPD, but i use bagless and empty them with a bagged machine
9)Do you mind loud, big heavy vacuums? I don't
Nope
10) Is there anyone who likes vacuums that give you a good workout? I do.
I do unless im trying to hurry. then I grab a lighter one
11) How long does it take you to vacuum your house? Today it took me about 40 mins, but we don't have as much carpet as we did before our House refurb stuff being done. We have only 3 rugs downstairs, Tiles everywhere downstairs, Burber carpet in the landing, both flights of stairs (13 and 14) and my bedroom has wall to wall american carpet, the other two bedrooms have laminate with one of them having a thin rug and the top floor has laminate with 2 rugs, but I hardly vacuum there. Used to take me about an hour and 15 mins I think
Depends on what machine I use, and how deep I clean
