Q & A / Good vacuum for chin cleanup?
« on: November 30, 2013, 11:55:04 PM »
Hi all!
As part of my weekly cage cleaning routine, I went to vacuum tonight, and noticed that suction was completely gone, despite the vacuum running completely fine. I spent about an hour cleaning filters and disassembling various parts of the vacuum, and while I was unable to find any specific culprit, one thing was very clear. The vacuum is dead. Long live the vacuum!
Before I go out and buy the same one again, I thought I'd do some research and see if I can find one better suited for its purpose. Surprisingly, Google didn't seem to have much to say on the topic, and searches for 'pet vacuum' mostly came back with models designed for hair, which is not really a chin issue. I vacuum once a week, and don't put a whole lot of effort into keeping things inside the cage. So there's a lot of shavings, droppings, some hay, and various other tiny things that get kicked around the cage. I'd need something good at picking those up, and I'd also prefer if it was particularly easy to empty, since I usually do that right into the same trash bag as the discarded shavings.
So does anyone have any experience with this? Anyone have any notably good and especially long lasting experiences with a particular model of vacuum? Any insight would be wonderful. Thanks!
