  • I used to have a B&D dustbuster/vacuum combo that ended up the same way after sitting a while. Like you, I wanted to swap out the battery but the internals were so convoluted my odds of just destroying it anyways were pretty high.

    I have a Craftsman 20v toolkit and they make a dustbuster/vacuum that takes that battery. It’s pricey at $200 but most anything would be better than my wife’s expensive RoboRock vacuum. It gets clogged moments into trying to vacuum carpet, granted its pet hair. Its no wonder they only do the robo-vacuums now.

    I usually end up using my little handheld that I bought for around my desk for small messes or the corded Eureka for bigger cleanups, though that is a pain to lug up and down the floors. Hence looking at the Craftsman.
















  • Right and for newer vehicles there is a couple of 2020 Bolts and a 2022 Bolt EUV for low $20k or under in my area. If I travel a little bit away from my area I have found 2017 Bolts for $15k.

    As mentioned they’re not great for road tripping because of their slow L3 charge speeds, but perfect for me to use for my commute or local-ish running. It or a EUV will probably be my replacement for my ‘08 Rabbit whenever it goes, but I only put on about 3k miles a year on my car soooo it might be a while. I also need to see if i can put a family of 5 in one (reverse car seat, booster, and older kiddo in the back). I think they’ll do it.
