My Eureka hasn't been a bad vacuum, but it wasn't the same after I loaned it to a neighbor. It has its fits and starts, and no amount of field stripping, checking or cleaning the various parts seems to help restore it to its former grandeur. It works, but just as a shadow of its former self.

And then came a few weeks ago, when my daughter had a sleepover. The good news was that she admitted to me that they had spilled "a little" popcorn and had vacuumed it up.

The bad news was that "a little popcorn" was about a full microwaveable bag. The collector bag was full, the main rigid intake tube attached to the vacuum was full....no suction at all. Lots of cleaning and getting popcorn out of crazy-to-reach places.

And the suction is now worse.

So, yes, I could really use that Oreck. And a lot less popcorn in my life.
