My housemate has owned a vacuum cleaner store for like 30 years, he sells vacuums and fixes them. I work there part time. It's a little discouraging to see that most of the best known brands are now either owned by Chinese companies, or are being manufactured in China. Not that everything coming from China is garbage (although a lot of it is) the main thing is that most of them have no parts available to fix them, so within a year or two they end up in the landfill.

@nonayadambidnes I have had an cleaning business for 30 years I have always used Oreck’s made in Louisiana until hurricane Katrina. That’s when they went to China and the machines are crap.
@Pippy Yeah back in the day most machines were pretty well made, now they're mostly garbage. Not just vacuums, but all kinds of appliances.
