Reply to Recommend a vacuum for small studio? by Wolf-Strong
Like another commenter, we also use a Shark and frankly, for this use-case, it's more than enough. Plus it is easy to cut hair out of the brush and it unscrews very easily for access. Plus it is super light, which makes it less awkward. The more expensive vacuums are just too awkward for me to use (plus our place is small, but has a loft and ugh, so annoying lugging a heaier vac)

Go to a restaurant supply store, they have really great cheap food grade buckets with lids. I picked up 2- 6gal buckets with gamma lids for $14 a few weeks ago

These are the future big reds. Nigh unstoppable, will very likely survive a nuclear winter. They'll fetch some serious money going forwards.

Honda knows small engines, and early 2000s were of particular quality.

I’ve got the same one in green. I bought it in 06 and the damn thing is bulletproof.

Because I didn't want it getting retracted into the body and straining it.

Just so everyone is clear, I didn't "fix" the plug, I replaced it!
Clearly some of you have never seen the original.

This is the replaced plug, polarized, from the hardware store.

Hahaha. I have an 06 sportsman 550, the thing is a beast but it requires non stop tinkering. It drives me nuts and I'm a skilled gearhead.

I am and he is 100% right.
Go to the hardware store and buy a replacement plug for like $5. Look up YouTube videos on how to replace an electrical plug if you don’t know how. Can be done with a knife and screwdriver (but wire cutters and stripper is recommended over the knife) in less than 5 minutes.

Came to say the same about the buckets and gamma lids. Pricey for what they are but they work well. I love large wide-mouth jars and my vacuum sealer attachment for smaller amounts of dry goods but if you need to store 20lbs of Flour, the buckets are the way.

They work great, but I don't really go mudding or anything.

I’ve got a 2001 Honda Rancher ES that I bought last year. Any symptoms I’ve had I’ve been able to debug through watching a video on YouTube or a forum online.

My personal favorite is my 01 Kawasaki Prairie. Rebuilt the carburetor but it still runs great and starts every time. Gets a little finicky trying to idle above 12,000 feet though.

Any cordless vacuum is crap. Just not enough juice.

I’ve read all sterilite products use food grade plastic? I just use a sterilite air tight storage bin for my 25lb rice

I use mason jars to store all dry goods. The half gallon size works well!
