My Electrolux Vacuum is far older than I am (50+ years) and replacement parts and consumables are still easily purchased on eBay. Runs like a champ and has never given me trouble. Plastic parts are failing faster than the metal cylinder body is. Has long since outlawed features like a spring retractable power cord. I laugh when I see another 'new' Dyson sitting in the trash heap.

What country do you live in where spring retractable power cords are forbidden on vacuums? And for what reason?

Ye old fire hazard mixed with a tripping hazard.
