Since my feedback from Dilemma #1 was so helpful (I am going to suck it up and buy a full sized ironing board and an iron that doesn't leak and have someone show me the right way to do it — thanks, guys!), here is my newest household dilemma. My vacuum cleaner sucks. Actually, it blows. It sucks up the dust and dirt and then two minutes later spews it back out all over the floor. Kind of defeating the purpose of vacuuming. I cleaned out its innards and it still does this. It also makes this low growly, rumbly noise that I have never heard it make before. Has anyone else ever had this problem? Is it fixable? If not, what's a good replacement vac? I've been pretty happy with this one the past three years, but I don't want to buy an exact replica. I want something lightweight yet effective (and preferably cheap — but I will spend more if it means not having to buy a replacement every couple of years). Anyone care to weigh in?
