Just do it. Do it right now.
Because if you don't I might have a repeat of what happened 20 minutes ago.
I was running our crappy vacuum, (for which we're seeking a replacement) and it just keeps NOT doing what it's supposed to be doing. Top that off with the filters being hard to reach, and one in particular that keeps getting clogged and it's a cannister o'fun on wheels and electrically powered!
I'm getting just a little irritated that it keeps not picking up the slightest little fuzz on the floor and after much violence perpetrated on it (which is my M.O. for fixing appliances) I decided to try to see just what the heck was hindering the function. I turned it off and tipped it back laying it down so I could get a good look underneath.
Bah. That didn't tell me anything because I couldn't see what it was trying to do.
Of course I needed to turn it on to watch the little thingies underneath to see what the game plan was going to be. You know what that gets you? A vacuum with your hair sucked up in the roller.
I also made a very scientific discovery. Cats are not sympathetic and will not go for help if you tell them to. They will in fact, take a bath in front of you whilst you unravel your tangley hair from the underside of an appliance that was never meant to be flipped over, plugged in, switched on, with your head near the wheels.

Oh. My. God. Funniest thing I have read in a long time.
I once had a twin recirculating floor polisher I managed to get my sisters foot stuck in. Wow did I get in trouble. And a friend that went to one of those high dollar universities with all the ivy once sent out a broadcast email about making sure to not get your tie caught in the shredder because you can get hurt. He sent it out like an AML (money laundering alert) bulletin.
I was in the process of sending a snarky reply about how stupid would someone have to be to do that when he replied that he had indeed got his tie caught in one of our really heavy duty finance industry shredders. I quit typing and just started laughing.
Oh, I've got 3 house rabbits and needless to say some occasional heavy vaccuming requirements. I love and swear by my Oreck. Unless you're good friends with the manager of the store (which I luckily was) buy a reconditioned or floor model. It'll save you money and yes, their prices are slightly negotiable. I got one of their commercial non-lighted ones (read cheaper) and have lovingly abused the bajeezus out of it for years.
Lick paw...paw face...lick paw...paw ear...lick whiskers...look at silly woman....lick paw....
