LOL wi-fi enabled canister vacuum?

"...letting you know when the filter or vacuum bag needs replacing, or if a clog is detected...."

CAN'T PEOPLE TELL IF THE VACUUM ISN"T WORKING? HELLO, YOU ARE SITTING THERE USING THE VACUUM CLEANER, YOU CAN TELL IF IT IS WORKING BY OBSERVING WHAT IT IS DOING

All of this need for connected electronics sucks... 🤪

@ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org I inherited grandma's Electrolux, which had a "feature" that caused the hose end to pop open if the bag was full. Age and plastic rot broke the little tube to the apparatus, causing it to randomly pop open. I disabled it, and the vacuum cleaner continues to work. I have to manually check the bag, but, eh.

I really don't want a vacuum cleaner that has an app. A RC roomba might be fun, however.

@c_merriweather@social.linux.pizza @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org Shopvacs last forever, cost less, and have suction that dwarfs any housevac. So far as I know, none have an app.

@jhavok@mstdn.party @c_merriweather@social.linux.pizza They do last forever... I have inherited two (both were free), I only need one.

@ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org @jhavok@mstdn.party I have a large shopvac, but it is too awkward to use in the house. The ancient Electrolux still works; it has had a few replacement parts to keep it running.

@c_merriweather@social.linux.pizza @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org The ancient vacuums last. My Mom bought a Kirby before I was born, and I believe my sister still has it.

Wish I could run a cross an Electrolux for a cosplay jetpack.

@jhavok@mstdn.party @c_merriweather@social.linux.pizza @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org Grandma has a Kirby. Bought it after she bought the house she lived in for 45+ years. As far as I know, it got sold with the house when she lost her independence. It might still be working.
