I can probably Vacuum at Mach 3 but Mach 5, I don't think I can handle vaccum at Mach 5 speeds!

Why buy this when you can pay almost twice as much for a Dyson refurb that already broke once?

The presumably newer Hoover Mach 6 is $159.99 on Amazon (17.99 shipping).
I've bought a couple of vacuums online from Amazon and they always beat the prices at Target, Home Depot or whatever.

Consumer Reports says that Hoover vacuums have the worst repair history compared to other manufacturers.

After buying a Hoover canister vacuum about 6 months ago I won't ever be buying Hoover again. Very marginal quality and the comment about the repair history doesn't surprise me.

#11, clearly you are still a virgin if, even in humor, you think a blowjob constitutes losing your virginity. At least you can now rest easy in knowing that you didn't give up your virginity to mofo after all.

One last comment about the reliability of all plastic vacs.
They are designed to not be very tolerant of heat. They'll last much longer if you do not run them for very long before letting them cool down, so the plastic motor mounts (and motor itself, since mounting one in plastic is a poor heatsink compared to metal) do not melt or get brittle, and of course if you rarely vac you will need to clean it out more often as a higher % of gunk per vac means a higher % of gunk getting stuck than if you vac'd regularly.
In other words, if you are not anal about it, and vac on a regular basis, you can do a room at a time fine with even a low-end $50 vac. Just be mindful of the limitations of whatever you buy, there is a reason why some cost more but nobody really needs to spend $200 or more just to vac up their mess unless they have a heck of a lot of pets with long hair.
