So, my carpet vacuum just died.
My dad has been a proponent of central vacuums for as long as I can remember. He's a hardcore Electrolux guy, and that's all he buys. This philosophy has served him well; we've owned four of them in four different homes and never had a failure.
I was on-line shopping and found that Frigidaire brand central vacs are made by Electrolux. I could get one locally probably as soon as tomorrow, but was told by dad that their are two lines of the Electrolux vacs and that I could get a Chinese-sourced model, which is a red-flag for both of us. The ones he's been buying are US or Canadian made (can't remember which off-hand) and that if we went through the guy he deals with (who is down-east) that we'd be assured to get one of these domestically-sourced ones.
So he's calling "his guy" tomorrow, and we are to see if we can have one drop-shipped to me.
Anybody else as hardcore about these things as my father?
