on corners, bag fills up too fast, need to constantly unplug and move (I clearly hate vacuuming! - my wife and I share doing the house - she is more patient than I so swears less while doing it).

We also have two cats and three dogs, so the corner tumbleweeds grow fast!

Congrats to all of the milestone crew!

thanks for doing this, EarlG - great idea - I just caught on this week.

It gets lost in the forest of dining room chairs (4) and has the suction of a Ted Cruz.

my dear spouse replaced the springs on the door but did not oil them and so there is a loud GROAN every time you open it. Like wake the dead kind of sound.

Congrats milestoners!

At work right now, we are in the process of changing our computer program. I am convinced the outgoing program is being deliberately annoying and inefficient cause it knows it’s on its way out. Super annoying. So not a machine, but a program changeover
