I knew that my old vacuum cleaner wasn't as efficient as it once had been. Heck, I got it back when I lived in Davis, which is quite a while ago. And the attachments have gotten pretty much useless because the attachment plate (which fastens over the bottom of the machine) won't fasten any more, much less create a serious seal. The new vacuum is one of those bagless, HEPA-filter things with a clear plastic "dirt cup" so you can see what it's picking up. Well, today was Main Bedroom Day on the house-cleaning schedule, so I broke in the new machine on a single room. A room that does in fact get vacuumed every other week. It produced a wad of dust-lint-fiber-cat-hair-whatever that would be respectable for the lint trap for two dryer-loads of towels. Yow.
