My mother always used to swear by her old-fashioned Fuller-brush carpet sweeper (and we kept my child's version for an extra decade for the same reason). Now that it's AWOL (went missing in the move), we are also quite disappointed with most modern vacs. I'm likely going to purchase a

Don't know if you get Dyson vacuum cleaners in the U.S. Mine is a heavy brute, but takes up cat hairs and cat litter and crumbs and threads like nothing I have ever had before. And the brush thingy on the end of the hose gets in all the corners I try to avoid. We do have Dyson vacs but they

I can't be the only one with this problem--little threads, all over my carpet, and a vacuum that just can't handle 'em. My vacuum has enough suction to pick up a bowling ball, but the little brush thinger that's supposed to pick up lint and so forth is pretty much useless. I have to use just
