> I don't like taking the dirt from one place to the next, so I buy a new vacuum cleaner every time.

That seems extremely wasteful. Why not just emptying the vacuum cleaner before bringing it to the new place? One person buying 20 new vacuum cleaners in a decade is just one of the reasons this planet is running out of resources.

It is. I'm not afraid to admit that. Old vacuum cleaners give me the heebie jeebies. We all have our quirks.

Do you sell them or give them away? Tell me how you haven’t thrown away a whole series of functional vacuum cleaners.

Especially considering that 80% of the dirt the vacuums collect are his own skin flakes and hair anyway...

Actually, that's supposedly a common misconception[1].
