Just bought a new Filter Queen vacuum, this putting the one that’s been in my family for 45 years into semi-retirement (will be going to my cabin)

I was a little reserved in doing that because I figured mine was doing the same job as a new one- it wasn’t lol. I’ve had off and on sinus and allergy issues for over two years and am already feeling loads better after using it a few times to clean up my rug and do some dusting. Thanks to a lot of local wildfire smoke, it’s been a rough few days and I typically feel drained all day. I’m not 100%, but feel tons better since I’ve been using it. Will be investing in a Filter Queen Defender soon as well. Neither are cheap, but they’re built well, very serviceable and the Defender air purifier claims to be 3 times better than HEPA. I work from home and HATE buying something more than once if I can, so it’s worthwhile to me.
