The jokes on you. Vacuums have been exciting me since I was 14. /S

If you have a 'normal' house and keep up with cleaning, a cordless should be fine. The portability and lightness are awesome.

If you have a dog or cat, results may vary.

If you have two labs, you're going to want to throw the thing out the window every time you use it because it clogs every 3 minutes.

Yes, even the "pet" version.

Cord management is such a big part of vacuuming to me I don't think I would be very excited about a cordless vacuum. It would just be missing part of the experience for me.

You mean a robot vacuum?

That's a symptom of early onset Republican as well.

My wife and I are in our fifties. When we got our robotic vacuum we spent a week arguing about what to name it.

36 here. I'm very excited at the thought of this.

Somehow I read "execute" and had fully accepted my fate before I realized it said "excite"

Turned thirty, and I'm just so done with cordless.

Battery issues. Recharging issues. Suction issues (especially when it randomly decides 'this is is too hard' and cuts out). Cleaning issues.

Gonna be a dumb boomer and hold out on proper corded vacuums. Which I guess means looking to the industrial/commercial grade at this point.

23 here and this has always excited be.

I shared this with a friend years ago on discord.

Thirty is cordless and light, because fuck 50 pound vacuums that you have to lug around because 'it gets better suction'

Forty is a robotic vacuum that doubles as an alarm clock when it wanders into your room at 7 am, eats a sock, and yells at you to unclog it.

If you haven't learned by 40 that all cordless vaccuums are terrible, then you're beyond help.

Doesn't everyone get excited though? Even as a kid I would get excited because it would make chores easier.

I'm 25 and ngl I'd be excited to get one of these

And if that new cordless vacuum doesn't work well it will be a significant disappointment that you and your partner discuss multiple times.

I just bought a new cordless vacuum on Sunday and am talking about to people at work. I feel attacked

Oh, I remember my first time. I was 14 and was going to the mall with my family to buy a new vacuum cleaner. For some inexplicable reason, all five kids were too excited and wouldn't stop yapping about it. So the adults decided we'd all give it a go, and anyone not using the vacuum cleaner would have to clean something else. We were juked into cleaning the entire house.

I used to work as a vacuum salesperson, and one day I noticed an older model unloved Bissell, brand new, on clearance.

Someone had fucked up and set staff discount price to $0.01.

That is the most thrilling vacuum purchase of my life and nothing will get close

It would excite me more if I could afford a place big enough to feel like owning one would be a necessity. My small dustbuster is enough (which is a cordless vacuum, technically).

Yes but it would have also excited me as a child.

Opening a new appliance box, looking at all the nice packaging (especially if it’s a high end one), setting it up and taking it for a test drive!

I mean yeah, I didn’t care about the actual vacuuming, but I was always excited about anything new and expensive.

I got one that uses the same battery system some other tools (lawnmower, strimmer, drill) uses and oh baby it's nice.

Uh oh... I've been excited about cordless vacuums since my early 20s 🫣

40's? I'm barely in my 30s and talked for weeks about my new cordless mop/vacuum hybrid thing LMAO

A Trader Joes will be opening soon in your area:

I was excited by one, but it was shit and I went back to my Henry. I will never leave you again Henry.

the difference between me and 20's me is that i can now afford a new vacuum

And tools. Almost any new tool feels like Christmas. I got a new riding lawnmower and I was giddy. And I’m in my 50s.
