Electrolux vacuum

We have an Electrolux vacuum cleaner. It's about 11.5 years old, so I think it has lasted as long as we figured it would when we bought it. At the time, it seemed very expensive, but it has done a good job over the years and hasn't been much trouble. However, recently, it has started to break down a little bit. The tube has a hole in it and there are some missing pieces of plastic where the attachments get attached. We also have an Electrolux carpet cleaner which we bought used about 9 years ago. It has also started to fall apart a little bit, although it does still work pretty well. We don't have much carpet, and what we do have should be replaced, but the cleaner at least makes it acceptable for a few weeks at a time. Electrolux seems like a very conservative company. The equipment we have is non-stylish, in contrast to the vacuums from Dyson. However, the Electrolux website is full of Flash and moving stuff and color, so maybe they are making a move into the 21st century. When I look for a new vacuum, I'm not sure I want to spend a huge amount of money again, but I'll take a look at what Electrolux has to offer since their products have been so reliable.
