That may be true in many cases, but there's another possible reason: People buy a vacuum based on advertising and find they don't like it for whatever reason: Doesn't clean well, too noisy, too hard to change filters/empty, too heavy.I almost always see good stuff sitting by the curb when I'm out and about delivering fuel. Sometimes I'll go back after working and it's gone, dang it. I can't believe all the vacuum cleaners I see sitting out by the curb. Most of them look brand new. I guess some people just use them until they stop sucking due to a clogged filter. I just don't understand some people.
My wife was a HUGE Filter Queen fan and when our 40+ year old unit got beyond fixing, we spent BIG bucks on a new one. Complete and utter piece of trash. After that we tried 3 different brand name units, none of which was right for her and were given away. Finally found a Miele she likes. I wasn't a huge fan of spending mid-three figures only to find she didn't like it, but she doesn't ask for much and we definitely don't want to compare her toy budget to mine!
