Ordered the vacuum. It was about $836. Miele C3 Kona. I got a 10% discount on it and paid no sales tax. It'll arrive next week.

Of course, I will be taking some countermeasures to the fleas starting tomorrow but none that require vacuuming within the next week.

Like a light over a dish of soapy water which you should have been doing when you first came across fleas. Cheaper than an expensive vacuum cleaner that a cheaper vacuum would do for a tiny stuido.

Tried that, it didn't catch anything. I'm going to buy a product to let it do it.

I don't believe either. Reads like BS to me. I have one and like it better than any I have ever owned.

Yea, like the people at reddit all of a sudden vacuum "experts" LOL. I think OP linked that to try and justify overpaying for a vacuum. Is it a nice unit?, yes, is ANY vacuum worth that much, NO.....

Bullshit. Y'all would, one way of another. A vacuum or an expensive and thorough cleaner.

I have three Neato robotic vacuums, one for each level of the house, and one for out guest house and office in the back. They are not dumb robots like the iRobot Roomba. They map a room and follow a specific cleaning route via a laser guidance system. The first clean the perimeter of a room, then methodically clean the interior of the room in a back-and-forth manner. None of that bouncing around bullshit. Once they complete a room, they move to the next room that they identified. They also learn your house over time, building a more and more accurate map of your floor plan, and they also identify areas with mobile objects, such as chair legs around a table, toys in a playroom, etc. They automatically return to a charging base to charge or when the dust canister is full.

Best fucking investment ever. The maid doesn't have to spend time vacuuming the house and, instead, can merely empty the dust canisters and spot clean. With that time, she can organize, arrange, etc.

OK, I'll fess up that if indeed I won the lotto I'd get one (or more) of those. Reason being is that they are worth it because vacuuming as a cleaning chore is basically eliminated with these guys. Considering how "smart" they are $250 is not a lot for what it offers, I'm amazed that once it's charge runs low it will return to the charging station, re-charge for 2 hours and resume cleaning in the same spot where it was before, that thing is smarter than several people I know 😵
 
I do, and it works perfect. It is model s370. It has speed control as well and air filters.

~$900 on a vacuum....just months into your first job...well, supposedly you have a job.

Simply stunning. Something does not add up.

Did he get a new job? You do know he was fired from the startup that hired him after like a month or something ridiculously short, right?

Seems to be a significant price premium for buying through US vendors. I found a couple of UK sites that would sell the same vacuum for 200 pounds + 50-75 pounds for world wide shipping. So around ~$400 for the same vacuum.
