What I liked was the list he had to determine whether what you had was junk:
It IS junk if:
· It's broken or obsolete (and fixing it is unrealistic).
· You've outgrown it, physically or emotionally.
· You've always hated it.
· Using it is more bother than it's worth.
· It generates bad feelings.
It's NOT junk if:
· It helps you make a living.
· It will do something you need done.
· It has significant cash value.
· It gives you more than it takes.
· It generates love and good feelings.
So, let's compare that to my loser of a vacuum that keeps getting clogged every time I use it. It fits all 5 of the junk rules, BUT it does fit one of those "not junk" rules and that is that it WILL do something that I need done. So, until I can afford a new one, I guess I will acknowledge that my vacuum is INDEED junk! And it will go out to the garbage just as soon as I get a new one! I hate vacuums, I've never found one that I loved yet, they only last a few months and then KABOOM, big waste of money!

According to my Mom and sister-in-law, a Dyson is worth all of the waiting and saving and you will never want/need another vacuum ever again.
It means your vacuum sucks.
Rather, it doesn't.
When we researched vacuums, a couple consumer reports rated one of the Dyson's and one of the Kenmore models highly. We bought the Kenmore because it was $150 less than the Dyson. We've had it for about 3 years and we're happy with it.
The only thing I still haven't found is a reasonable solution for vacuuming stairs.
But yes,
your vacuum sucks.
Or rather, not.
I have the Dyson and love it. I've gone through too many crappy vacummes so finally decided to spend the money and have been pleased ever since.
I think my suburban falls into the same category as your vacumme. It's junk...but I need it.....so it's a piece of needed junk. :o)
