It's not because I'm scared of them I don't think.. it's more so I just feel uncomfortable about the fact they're doing something for me

 

I've been in a few situations where I need substantial help from strangers, and some have offered to help (most haven't followed through) but I just can't do it.

For example someone offered to help me move and I just feel super uncomfortable about it to the point where I'd rather risk something bad happening to me. Like I feel super awkward and uncomfortable accepting huge favours from strangers

Someone even offered a place to stay for me with my pets but I can't accept it cause I feel way too awkward and like I owe them or something, like I have a huge fear and anxiety about it

Like I just feel like a disgusting parasite wasting their time and energy and it's also humiliating

Is that normal?

Which filter? Do you mean the one inside the container with all the stuff that gets picked up, or the one on the outside of the vaccuum?

I haven't changed it yet but I presumed the motor is already worn out

Careful with the couch my cats almost ruined mine lol. I added a cover on it and it helped a lot. It's mostly because they use it to jump when chasing each other so it gets scratched.

Which attachment do you use for the couch btw?

I hope they last okay. They are currently on promo for like 250-300 euros here.

Have you ever used a similar design vacuum before, except maybe one without a bag? Did you find this one harder to maneuver?

I forgot to ask, do you have pets? and how often do you need to use a new bag? I live in a 2 bedroom apartment but one of the rooms isn't really used

Probably when I was a kid, lol. But really, I would say any time before covid was a lot better. Even just like, 1.5 ago was still better. I feel like everything is just getting exponentially worse.

Thanks! I was getting really confused because the local Miele website had zero info on each model. So I checked the UK one, and it seems like the C3s are mostly the same, and the only difference seems to be the attachments they come with, and some have a different "comfort" handle. Which is literally what you just said, lol.

Maybe I will choose based on the colour of the vacuum lol. The pet one seems to only come in dark red.

I hope they come with codes for free vacuum bags here xD they're having a decent sale now so I've been considering getting one

Honestly the main part that worries me is that for the price, they seem to have a pretty small warranty period (12-24 months). That's the only thing keeping me from buying one immediately

Which one do you have?

[–] jlyndby@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How does it differ from the c3 cat and dog?

😭😭😭😭

[–] jlyndby@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

How often do you find you need to change the bags? I've heard the cost can really add up

Which Siemens do you have?

 

Hello, I got a comment on my previous post recommending I post it here as well.

I had the Philips one but after about a year it's suction changed to the point where it's hard for it to pick up cat litter now..

It must be able to deal with a lot of cat hair and litter.. and preferably be under 500 euros.

Of course I think a corded one is better for my purposes, and I have mostly hard floors with a few small rugs.

The problem is that every year the quality decreases, so it becomes difficult to know which vacuums will still be good. For example, someone may have purchased the same vacuum 5 years ago and think it's great but the one sold today might not compare

Not a troll post. Why is everything shit?

 

Is it bad if my apartment doesn't get any drafts in it? I want to block the front door gap, but my dad got mad and said this would cause mold issues.

How and why? I mean I don't live there so why would it become humid?

It's not really an option to keep it open cause I'm allergic to some of the stuff that comes in from the neighbours

Follow up question: is it true that turning the bathroom fan on won't do anything, if there isn't somewhere outside the apartment that air can be drawn from?
