"VacWeb.com"- The Vacuum Cleaner Forum
Be warned; you may never look at a vacuum cleaner in the same way.
After spending hours on just one page at this site, for in its
contributions, VacWeb must be one of the most unique forums on the web, the
List was simply overcome with the urge to share. On the current page for
only the months of August and September, there are, at rough estimate,
over140,000 words about vacuum cleaners.
Many of the regular contributors live and breathe vacuum cleaners - they
sell them, they collect vintage models and the latest off the production
line; they attend conventions about vacuum cleaners. The collective
knowledge on the forum is encyclopedic and the level of discourse on the
forum is remarkably civil, as well as informed.
Should any of List's gentle members be wondering about that old vacuum
cleaner in the attic, considering what kind of new vacuum cleaner to buy,
pondering the pros and cons of a particular model, then this is a site with
possibly more than you ever wanted to know.
Navigation of the site is from newest to oldest, so scroll to the bottom of
the page, put up your feet and settle in for a while. If you wish to zero
in on a particular item use the "Find" function of your browser. Chances
are you won't actually need to ask a question, since most of them will
already have been asked and answered, if not on the current page, then in
the readily accessible postings of past months going back over three years.
Propel yourself to the site for a wealth of information on vacuum cleaners
and for a snapshot of a small but vibrant internet community.
