Is It Bad To Vacuum Different Houses With Same Vacuum?
I just started cleaning houses and have an awesome vacuum that I use in my own home. I have been using it in my customers homes. I need to vacuum my own home still, of course, but is it unsanitary to use this vacuum from house to house and then use it in mine? Am I spreading anything? Are there steps or precautions I should be taking?

Electrolux 330 Automatic vacuum cleaner
This was my near-mint condition Electrolux 330 Automatic from 1973 that I sold a while back. It was a short lived model and ran from 1973-75 and was replaced by the 345. It featured an Automatic floortool that retracted its brushes when cleaning carpets and released them automatically when vacuuming hardfloors. It would also switch itself off if it became blocked or the bag got too full and the orange light would come on. The knob at the front of the machine controlled the sensitivity of this. My 330 also has a very rare optional Turbinette floor tool, it was an early style of suction driven power head. In the video I use it with a later style hose from a 302 model as the original weaved hose tends to lose a lot of suction now because of its age.

What Is The Best Cordless Car Vacuum To Buy?
I’m looking for a cordless car vacuum that will work well for cleaning my car. I like to have some kind of an extension or piece that can get between/under seats as well.
Any thoughts? I haven’t found one good one…The Dyson small vacuum is too expensive.

Makers of portable vacuum cleaners
Hoover
Hoover is a division of Maytag , and is the oldest and largest vacuum manufacturer. Hoover offers roughly 50 upright and canister models that are priced from $50 to $500. They also provide hand-held models as well as central vacuum systems. Many of Hoover’s upright and canister models are similar in performance, with some minor differences in features; the “variety” is mostly marketing. Hoover household appliances are sold in many retail chain stores.
Kenmore
Kenmore is the biggest name for canister models, accounting for about 25 percent of U.S. sales. They also manufacture other styles of vacuum cleaners.
Upscale Vacuum Cleaner Brands
Higher-priced Aerus (which also makes central vacuums) and Oreck models are sold in their own stores and by direct mail. Eureka offers high-end Electrolux models. Upscale manufacturers such as Kirby and Rainbow models are still sold door-to-door.
