What is the best vacuum for a sewer and quilter?
I break 2 to 3 vacuums a year. I sew in 3 different rooms in house and i have threads everywhere. I bought a push restaurant type of broom to pick up most threads but there is still a lot left. The threads tangle on the brush rollers of vacuum. I clean these twice every time i use it but it will eventually freeze up and i burn up another motor. I now buy very cheap models since i break them. Any ideas on models or techniques on cleaning brush rollers of threads and dog hair?
Use a shop vac. They are heavy duty. They do not have that type of brush. The motor will hold up better too, with the hair and thread.
