The TRUTH About Vacuums #10
All the vacuums sold door-to-door are over $1000 (some over $2000!), and not only are they not the best, but some are close to the WORST! Also, some of these new bagless vacuums are around $500, and a customer would clean better & get more life out of a $170 vac. This is not to say that good vacuums will always be cheap either; the point is that you don't always get what you pay for, and depending on your needs, you don't always need to pay a lot.
