I love my Simplicity Freedom upright. I happened to get lucky and got an older model in a thrift store for $25. Best purchase I’ve ever made. It’s extreme lightweight, all parts are heavy duty, repairable, and it is uses HEPA bags (which are everywhere and can be found quite cheaply.

It does not have a detachable hose, but it’s quite amazing at what it does do and I never worry about clogging.

Just rediscovered Vivaldi recently and I’m really liking it. I can see why people could call it ‘bloated’ but if you take advantage of all of the customizations and features offered then it can really work for you. Just works with my workflow beautifully.

Oh god. New stoves don’t have knobs? Are they touchscreens now too? I will pretend I did not just read that information and be a ‘old man yells at cloud’ when the time comes to buy a new stove.
