Prolux Tritan Bagged Canister Vacuum Cleaner with Powerful HEPA Filtration and Comprehensive Home Care Tool Kit

Marl J Bell: Ever since I was a young kid, I’ve had adversarial relationships with vacuum cleaners. At home, when mom assigned me the vacuuming chore, I remember using a Lewyt metal canister vacuum. I hated it because the nameplate made a horrific buzzing sound that I couldn't stand. I'd give it a swift kick and the buzzing would stop for a while- only to need another kick later- plus it never rolled straight. Of course that was the 1960s and vacuum cleaners have improved immensely.
This Tritan by Prolux is (so far) everything I could hope for in a vacuum. It replaces a Eureka canister vacuum that we had for years that was OK, I guess. I got tired of fixing the broken hose (connection to the vacuum body) with gaffers tape, and when you pushed the cord retract button, the AC power plug would retract with so much force that it would wedge itself into the vacuum so that I needed a pair of pliers to extract it.

I used to run the Bissell over and over the same spots before I finally would give up and just pick up the dirt and put it in the trash. The Prolux sucked the heck out of my floors, carpets, walls and most important of all, the corners where those pesky spiders live. (Got bit by a brown recluse two weeks ago. Fortunately, my neighbor gave me some bentonite clay which I mixed with apple cider vinegar and made a paste that I applied every 6 hours for 3 days - it completely healed and it was a nasty looking wound. Bentonite clay is good stuff to keep on hand...
