#Hoover #Question #Repair #Recycling... 

I have a electric vacuum cleaner / hoover type thing, a bif of the half-modern bubble type (still old) that I don't want and suction doesn't suck very well (it sucks!!)

So I want to throw it out... But before I throw it is there anything inside worth taking.... ❓

- the long cable is good.... 🔌
- maybe the other components? 💡

Don't want to open it / break into it unless I know there are goodies!!

My Repair Shrew says:
1. Google for manual/instructions
2. Check filters - sometimes there is more than one
3. Check no air leaks from anywhere that would reduce sick
4. If it is ok but just a not very good vacuum cleaner and you don't want it then give it away for free on Freecycle or Facebook Marketplace rather than throwing it away (I'm sure you weren't literally going to throw it away)

Dumping stuff... Take the useful parts like cable / plug etc... 

@huxley So I considered the list of what I could do possibly and then looked at my own situation which doesn't always fit interacting with others about it...

So yes it's blowing crap out the back and maybe restorable to half-good (not much more) but near-nobody would accept or repair this... even if it became new at the end.

Even die hards other than hackers and artists for fun and then realising it occupies space / is crap. I use a broom for example.

So I accept the life it had / state it's in and really deserves to die / not take more space.

It will go to die somewhere unless really some components are like gold inside and worthy of effort.

The place I dump it might have more interested parties. That's being optimistic I know!
