We've been through a couple of the Dysons. After not too long, we'd only get a few minutes per charge, not even enough to do our stairs. Just ordered a Meile cordless, hopefully it's better.

Not sure what you mean. I like their products but think they have ulterior motive for the “donation” to their own organization.

I cant attest to forever, but I bought an analine leather couch from article a few years ago and love it. Solid oak frame, and the scuffs buff right out.

These discount stores have their own inferior brand lines, and even the well known brands they carry supply them with lesser quality.

Those round protrusions under the first and last letters are meant to be drilled through for your tow rope.

I recommend you check out the backpacks from Aer. I purchased one of their slings recently (City Sling 2). It’s awesome and built like a tank. I remember an online reviewer describing it as “overbuilt”.
Their backpacks look cool too (particularly the Fit Pack 3) and I expect they’re similarly overbuilt. So check em out!

Mine cost $90. It’s a dirt devil so not top of the line but not cheep. Might price motors vs vacuums and see if I can keep it going another 2-3 years.

Dyson, and if you’re lucky it will be on sale at Costco.
Expensive but worth it.
We have pets.

Our Hoover is probably 15 years old, and Dyson about 4 years and neither has issues. Parts are easily found online (batteries and the canister button popped off the dyson v6) I found with cordless vacuum over the years that it has to be at least $50+ to be decent given the batteries inside alone are worth more than some cheap ones off Amazon. Perhaps these days maybe 70 even. Is this a cheap one off amazon for $18 or a pricey one?
If looking for a new one with the pole style, consider the LG.

Thanks! Yeah I often hate the 50/50 ones but I trust your judgment.

Very nice if your husband works in a more formal environment. Only downside is they are expensive.

My Hanes (ComfortBlend^(R) EcoSmart^(TM)) full-zip hoodie has lasted almost 10 years and is still going strong. No pilling, fraying, or wearing down in any spot. It's 50/50 cotton-poly, but it feels like cotton -- not poly texture. I've had Uniqlo hoodies that pill within months, and my Nike (unknown manufacturer) has worn down at the cuffs. I use the Hanes just around the house.

Then I'd start with 5.11 - Moab 10 for a sling or AMP 10 for one that can be either backpack or a sling (they're on sale now & being discontinued soon).

Yeah, we do in Tennessee. We tend to shorten the word to "boggan", though.

North 40 has an amazing, heavy 100% cotton slim body hoody in their name brand (Smith & Rogue) for $59 if there are any left. Mens and women’s. Better than American Giant imo.
