#Appliances #CarpetCleaners #HomeMaintenance . . .

I'm a reluctant #HouseKeeper. I seldom vacuum or clean my carpets or dust unless the "need" is obvious & even then I'll procrastinate about it.

Well, I finally decided that my carpets needed cleaning. So, I endeavored to find the "right" carpet cleaner to buy. #Bissell & #Hoover dominate this market & when I did the research on the "best" carpet cleaner to buy, the "reviews" were inconsistent.

So, I just threw caution to the wind & bought the one that I was most attracted to (for relevant & irrelevant reasons) BUT, while I usually do NOT buy extended product warranty for the things that I buy, I bought 1 for this item because more than enough people report them failing in less than a year & because I've owned a carpet cleaner before that did the same thing.

Fingers crossed that it lasts long enough for at least 1 extensive use to clean my carpets, the cost of which hopefully will be less than it would have cost to rent one.

Today in Labor History February 2, 1931: U.S. citizens of Mexican heritage were “repatriated” to Mexico. During the decade’s first four years, the federal government deported anywhere from several hundred thousand to 1.8 million Mexicans. 40-60% of those deported were U.S. citizens and overwhelmingly children. President Hoover blamed Mexicans for the Great Depression and deported them in huge numbers to win support from his right-wing base. Sound familiar?
