Oy vey my fellow members of the tribe,



Where do I begin? I stopped by the Goodwill crack house after work to see if they had anything. See, they sell vacuums of various shapes and sizes and most of them are the most clapped 👏👏👏 things in the world. I don't know why, but for some reason I chose to buy this Eureka Whirlwind Big Cup. Actually, I should say big cup of $%@!! I always found this vac interesting, as I remember seeing shark handhelds just bris these poor things to filth on HSN with suction demos. For the same reason I chose to acquire a kirby, fantoms, my Kenmore bagless cyclonic canister, and other atrocities, I just thought they look good. Anyway, I digress this thing is about as useful as tits on a boar! Idk how they sold so many! I mean the thing handed my kirby its ass with new filters (as if that is hard to do) but why did this have to be so cumbersome! And on the topic of filters, adding a hepa is like adding a life insurance policy to Anna Nicole Smith! Meaning that if something is clapped... it's clapped! I could go on to some extent about all this, but my arthritis is acting up, so anyway I want you to tell me about this and other atrocities of various shapes and sizes from the era





Thanks

You sure that Kirby is at peak performance and adjusted properly? My Kirby will kick any bagless vacuum’s ass! But yeah, those Eurekas are pretty terrible. Same situation with everything they made after 2002.
 
Hi Aunt Sylvia:
I wanted to say "thanks" for the platter of Tongue you brought to my recent Bris. We all laughed at your little joke "take some off the top". I'm recovering nicely, but I still can't get it wet.

I remember when the Big Cup came out. Eureka had a V shaped piece of plastic protruding down from the lid, with a foam filter (like a cone) that went over it. Then, a screen (in yellow) went on top of the foam. Leaked dirt like a sieve and clogged up worse than my cousin Abe after he ate two boxes of Matzo planks.

Then, Eureka went to a pleated paper hepa type filter thing. It worked somewhat better, and clogged somewhat slower. My favorite part about the blue one was the translucent color of the plastic. You could see the motor, brush, everything.

Maybe you can bring it to our next Passover, and we can see if it picks up the dirt from the sandals.
 
Oh Ms. Roxxy

My eureka has the pleated paper thing... and the last time I saw an atrocity this bad it was Janet Jacksoff having a nip slip. Or should I say atroctitty.
 
Sir! the language you are using is vulgar and unacceptable here! Vacuumland is also the home to many young underage members and your "colorful" language is not appropriate here! It's obvious you haven't read the user rules! Please do so!
I've reported this to our Webmaster as well!

@luxflairguy

Have you been on vacuum line lately ?This is mild language, compared to
some of the things that are being said are ten times more vulgar.
Example of the vulgarity that is now common place onvacuum land.

Also I think this sets of much better example for kids then "tic Tok "or other things that kids do these days.
 
I see royalfan had to jump into the discussion to start another argument like before with the car vacuum thread. S_Brisowitz, I found your post hard to understand and equally hard to read because of the swearing every 3rd word. I am not sure if you were trying to be funny in imitating a character from TV or you actually speak like that. If it wasn't a character roleplay, then I have found it completely unnecessary, as you are behaving like a kid that has just learned how to swear from other badly-behaved adults and is trying to be cool like them. It's very difficult to understand what point you were trying to make.

luxflairguy is 100% right, you need to tone the language down. I know this site isn't bible camp, but it's not a corner bar in Brooklyn either. Thank you.
 
I somehow highly doubt that The Messiah has returned in the form of a bagless Eureka Whirlwind found at a trap house Goodwill. Don’t you think that the son of God would come back as something a bit more classic, such as an old Hoover Convertible or Compact? Also, I’m not usually crazy...
