36 here. I'm very excited at the thought of this.

If you have a 'normal' house and keep up with cleaning, a cordless should be fine. The portability and lightness are awesome.

If you have a dog or cat, results may vary.

If you have two labs, you're going to want to throw the thing out the window every time you use it because it clogs every 3 minutes.

Yes, even the "pet" version.

The jokes on you. Vacuums have been exciting me since I was 14. /S

Cord management is such a big part of vacuuming to me I don't think I would be very excited about a cordless vacuum. It would just be missing part of the experience for me.

That's a symptom of early onset Republican as well.

You mean a robot vacuum?

If you haven't learned by 40 that all cordless vaccuums are terrible, then you're beyond help.

It would excite me more if I could afford a place big enough to feel like owning one would be a necessity. My small dustbuster is enough (which is a cordless vacuum, technically).

Somehow I read "execute" and had fully accepted my fate before I realized it said "excite"

23 here and this has always excited be.

My wife and I are in our fifties. When we got our robotic vacuum we spent a week arguing about what to name it.

And if that new cordless vacuum doesn't work well it will be a significant disappointment that you and your partner discuss multiple times.

Doesn't everyone get excited though? Even as a kid I would get excited because it would make chores easier.

Uh oh... I've been excited about cordless vacuums since my early 20s 🫣

40's? I'm barely in my 30s and talked for weeks about my new cordless mop/vacuum hybrid thing LMAO

A Trader Joes will be opening soon in your area:

I got one that uses the same battery system some other tools (lawnmower, strimmer, drill) uses and oh baby it's nice.

the difference between me and 20's me is that i can now afford a new vacuum

Turned thirty, and I'm just so done with cordless.

Battery issues. Recharging issues. Suction issues (especially when it randomly decides 'this is is too hard' and cuts out). Cleaning issues.

Gonna be a dumb boomer and hold out on proper corded vacuums. Which I guess means looking to the industrial/commercial grade at this point.

I'm 25 and ngl I'd be excited to get one of these

I need a vacuum that can handle dog hair really well. My current one uh... Doesn't suck?

I was excited by one, but it was shit and I went back to my Henry. I will never leave you again Henry.

Remember always buy one that uses replaceable battery packs. Even better if you can just use a power tool battery. There are even adapters for certain brands of vacuums so you can put a power tool battery into the vacuum.

If the battery is not replaceable you have to trash the vacuum after a couple of years of use, since the battery won’t hold a charge. Replacing the li-on cells is not easy and requires a spot welder, you can’t just use a soldering iron.

I shared this with a friend years ago on discord.

I was 31 when I got excited about one. It had the same battery as my drill.

Thirty is cordless and light, because fuck 50 pound vacuums that you have to lug around because 'it gets better suction'

Forty is a robotic vacuum that doubles as an alarm clock when it wanders into your room at 7 am, eats a sock, and yells at you to unclog it.

And tools. Almost any new tool feels like Christmas. I got a new riding lawnmower and I was giddy. And I’m in my 50s.
