What do you think of the names you got?

I vacuumed up a tape measureer at work.?

Today I was vacuuming at work.

I was using a Henry hoover (I live in UK. I’m not sure if you have them in USA or not). I was using the suction part of the vacuum cleaner when I accidently vacuumed up a tape measurer which had fallen up the floor. The air from the vacuum cleaner kind of sucked it up. I took it apart but it has gone into the bag inside.

Now it makes a sort of whistling noise and I’m worried I’ve damaged it and will have to pay for it. To make matters worse, I took the thing to bits and probably haven’t put it back properly. I told my manageress and she said it’s probably okay but I’m still worried.

I’m not due back into work until Wednesday and am worried someone will use it tomorrow and it will not work properly.
No answers? Never mind. I suppose I will have to see that as ‘no news is good news’ – in other words that I have not damaged the vacuum cleaner and it’s okay.

Can fleas really escape a vacuum cleaner?

I’m currently treating my cats for fleas and have been on a hoovering mission to try and tackle the problem in the house.

99% of what I’ve read on the internet tells you that you MUST throw the bag away every time you hoover because fleas can escape! I can see how they may be able to survive the process of being sucked up and that eggs can still hatch, but can they really find their way out of the bag and down my long henry hose and back out into the outside world?

I’m hoovering nearly every day and it seems ridiculous and expensive to replace what is actually a pretty empty bag.

I’m putting a sock over the hose and securing with one of the attachments to be on the safe side but what does everybody think?

Why pull all the cable out of a Numatic?

I’ve heard you should pull all the cable out of a Numatic (E.G Henry) vacuum cleaner before using it. Why is this ?

Out of these:

Henry (Standard edition)
James

Both would be brand new, and the latest models.

Which should I go for ?

I am thinking the Henry would be best, but then the James looks quite tough too…

Help me decide please!
