If you have seen a Brand New, Bank for your Buck kind of Vacuum Cleaner in a TV Ad, give it a try!!! But only if your old vacuum cleaner is very old.. Every appliance has an age and beyond which you can think of getting rid of them.

Hair Dryer--Life Span: 1-3yrs

Vacuum Cleaner: 5-7yrs

Stand Mixer: 5-9yrs

Coffee Maker: 5-10yrs

Microwave: 7-10yrs

Washing Machine: 8-12yrs....Dryer: 10-12yrs

Refrigerator: 10-14yrs

Dish Washer: 13-15yrs

Check with the manufacturer on every other appliance not listed above, for its life span. This information is not trying to force you spend money, infact, if appliances are used beyond their maximum usage span, they tend to release toxins and fumes that are harmful for the people using them and also the environment. Suggestions like these are sometimes not just silly, they are valuable...think over!!!
