THE GREAT LITHIUM LIE.

In the past ten years, I've spent a fortune on vacuum cleaners, none of which I still have. Why? Because I fell for an advertising ploy that was a fraud. I bought the words "cordless" and "lithium battery" to be  true. Each vacuum cleaner (Shark, Black and Decker, Hoover) pushed those words which I thought would make life easier with no cumbersome cords and a long-lasting, powerful battery.  But each battery wimped out after about three cleanings and required a replacement immediately. It was a little like buying the vacuum cleaner again and again. To make it worse there was no place to buy the costly battery other than on the internet, which I hate to do. So I eventually smartened up and threw all these vacuums in the trash, Now I will only buy appliances that have electric cords on them. Sadly they long ago stopped making the best electric vacuum: the Regina Electrik Broom, which gave me years and years of trouble-free service.

  1. I still use a corded vacuum myself. Never went for those cordless lifelong battery types. Bagless yes. Cordless no.
