*apparently, the 'V' on my keyboard needs vacuuming so it won't stick so much. Also apparently, editing a CW doesn't edit the CW in the replies (because, doh!, why should it?). So I edited the 'v's in; but then I edited them back out so the people who already replied wouldn't be stuck out there alone with adice & acuums.)

So, my current vacuum cleaner is one that my sister gave me when she moved in 2017. (She owned three perfectly functional vacuum cleaners - who does that?)
Anyway, it's a bagless model with a HEPA filter, probably from the mid-20-zeroes (the mid-aughts?); and it does all the things it's supposed to do.
Or it would if I used it more. I tend to find pushing it around pretty exhausting, with the result that not nearly enough vacuuming happens around here.

I'm wondering if a new more-up-to-date vacuum cleaner with all the latest super-typhoon ultra-technology would significantly easier to use. Are there any Fedipeople out there who buy new vacuum cleaners more often than they renew their passports; & could shed some light on whether vacuum cleaners have become noticeably easier to use since the last Obama administration?

*note: while I would love to have a robot vacuum cleaner, that's not a feasible option right now.

It's taking such a long time to get the help I need
I started this GFM 2 months ago and I'm still not even half way, yet racists can raise thousands in days

Do any of you in the chronic illness/NEIS/Spoonie community know if there’s a word for that flash of resistance, guilt, & irritation you feel on being asked to something you’re not up to doing?
That quick flash of “NO, YOU CAN’T MAKE ME SUMMON UP THE ENERGY IT WILL TAKE TO FORCE MYSELF TO POWER THROUGH.”
(Or is it just me who gets that feeling?)
