I've never once used one that I liked. I realize there are thousand dollar vacuums that are likely pretty decent, but why hasn't there been any innovation at the consumer level? Even the "boutique" models that tool nerds fawn over aren't right.
"Oh, here's some $2,000 crap from Germany that only five people per year can buy!"
Same shit, sometimes better materials. That's all.
I've been patiently waiting for Dyson to show the world what's wrong with the fucking things. It will happen sooner or later. You've got to use a Dyson to know why it's better than the fancy brands. They are all stuck in damned the 1970's, just like wet/dry vacuum manufacturers.
...And so I wait.
In the meantime, Home Depot/Ridgid has had a crack at it:

Somebody finally decided that the biggest irritation encountered by owners of these fucking antiques is where to put all the shit when you aren't using it!:banghead:
Just look at that and imagine how much easier it would be to transport and store than the crap you own now.
The tools always fall off, and the hose is always in the way, no matter how clever the manufacturer thought they were being with their cute little clips and loops.
Now, this isn't a 2.5" hose, but it's a fine example to other manufacturers, who may as well include coat hangers, zip ties, and duct tape with their products.
Fuck that. I'm buying one before someone realizes it's a good idea and cancels production.
Cheers,
Kennith
