What's really bad is when you suck up something like a shoelace and it gets all wrapped around the beater and makes it stop turning, but the belt's still turning and the vacuum starts squalling like you've sucked a live cat up in it and you get that awful burnt rubber smell in the house and it doesn't go away for a LOOOONG time. I have a love/hate relationship with vacuums, but it's mostly hate. ;o)
Hahaha!
When I had mine taken apart yesterday, I took the time to cut all the wrapped hair [mostly mine] and strings and yarns from around the roller.
I hate it when I suck up a shoelace that is still connected to the shoe.
This vacuum talk today has been a revelation:) I had no idea other women had "relationships" with their vacums too:) I don't feel like such an odd ball anymore.

I have all tile. Sometimes I think about a nice soft rug but a broom and a mop work best for me.
