Funny article at Dollarish.com about items that you desperately want to get rid of, but keep because it still works.

It hits home because I have a Hoover vacuum cleaner with the old style vacuum bags that I bought in 1994. I’d love to get rid of it but this thing really sucks. Its lasted through cleaning roomfuls of Marine barracks for our weekly inspection, then survived several households full of college students, multiple roommates and now, extended family members.

Let’s see, from 1994 till now equals 15 years of suckiness! I think that I bought it for about $89 so that comes out to about $5.93/year or 1.6 cents a day. In other words, I could have purchased this with loose change that I come across everyday.

I’m going to run out and get a new fancy bagless vacuum the moment they stop making bags for this thing. Although that may still be years away because I ran across someone giving away type A vacuum bags at Freecycle.org!

As much as I would love getting a new vacuum, I’m also somewhat leery about buying one because I can’t imagine any vacuum today lasting 15+ years.
