Am I the only person who clears and cleans the vacuum cleaner outside?
Three women with long hair in my house. My vacuum would die in a month if I didn't break out the sheers beforehand every time and cut hair out of the roller. So no, not the only one.
There's an easy solution: put the women outside, let the vacuum be happy inside.
What I used to do to deal with long hair is run the vacuum with the corner cleaner attachment (Just a long thin pipe with no obstructions inside) in the places that long hair tends to clump up in - under the bed, in the corners, under furniture - before runing the floor attachment (the one that has the roller). I'll have already sucked up all the hair by the time the roller comes around.
You might want to get a vacuum more suited to deal with hairs if this is the issue you are having. It is not normal to need to cut the hair out of the roller. A lot of them don’t even have a roller anymore or it is an optional accessory
This is absolutely not true, in the states at least. Most carpet vacuums don’t work effectively without the roller spinning to move the carpet fibers out of the way.
Most people don't have a dedicated carpet vacuum anyway since carpet has been declining in popularity for decades now. Part of that is because something like a wooden/PVC/Tile floor is easier to clean and because of that it can be slightly better for your health incase of having a house dust mite allergy.
But based on your comment I sense you do have a lot of carpet in your house, but even then I don't see people using a dedicated vacuum for it. They just have a normal vacuum like a Henry or something. (Most common international vacuum iirc)
Use one of these letter openers to do that. It's way easier than scissors.
That definitely does work, but I prefer scissors and a kershaw knife now just because of how it wraps around our Kirby wood roller sometimes.
Why would all the stuff come out? Never had this issue although also don't have a hoover like this.
This sucks...
No. It doesn't.
