Years ago my old vacuum cleaner finally broke and I was looking for a new one, but then my car broke down so instead of the new vacuum my money went to fixing the car. So I was without a vacuum and had to brush the floor clean.. And yeah. It's so, so, so much better. Quiet, doesn't get stuck, doesn't flip to it's back, no cord, doesn't smell like dust.. Now when I clean the floors I no longer feel THE ANGERY which would be enough to make me kill a kitten in the process.
Fuck vacuums. Unless you have carpet floor, you don't really need them. It's just marketing.
I use a broom with a shovely part and also a "squeegee" that is usually used to try the shower room floor. And I of course mop the floors between few months. Rugs I spank outdoors.
Only downside is that if I mention that I don't own a vacuum, it has made people call me gross and I have gotten questions like "do you even mop like ever!?" when I have already said that I use a brush instead. Almost no house has carpet floor in this country.
Just fuck vacuum cleaners. All my homies hate vacuum cleaners.
EDIT// Haha I think broom is better word than brush, I meant that one.
The robot ones are quiet as well if people prefer that
My cats sure do, although they'll just lay on the floor and let it bounce off them, slightly better than having to retrieve them from the ultra secret hiding place I didn't know existed until it became relevant though.
Here I was, imagining you sitting on the floor with a brush! Lol. Brooms are nice! When the bristles are good and not mangled. Had a cat that looooved chewing on the bristles!
Brush would still win a vacuum cleaner! And the cat here does the same. :3
