This is a common question and we will try to
help you make a decision.
Just like any other house appliance, a vacuum
cleaner has a limited lifespan. Consumer Reports reveal a median of 8-10 years.
Of course, these numbers vary according to factors like the brand (generally,
popular brands have better products)and how much you used it (one person will
use a vacuum cleaner less than a family of 4 people and two cats).
So, if your vacuum is old, you should consider
purchasing a new one. However, if you
still want to give it a chance instead of spending your money on a new vacuum,
you must attempt to fix the existing one.
·
Clean the filter. Dirty filters
restrict the airflow and there may be not enough suction.Alternatively, you can
also attempt to do a deep cleaning and you might just be amazed by the results.
·
Check the hoses. Chances are that
they are clogged – an issuethat can be solved really quickly
·
Check the belt. Belts may come off
track or stretch out. Replacing them is easy and cheap .
If these solutions are inefficient to make
your vacuum clean normally again, it is time to buy a new one, or search for a vacuum repair near me to locate a shop with experienced repair technicians to refurbish your vacuum and make it work like new.
