OT– very off topic

since this newsgroup is predominantly made up of women, (assuming
you do a lot of the housework) i thought i might ask my question
here.
what is your favorite STICK vacuum.
i need one for the tile and wood floors and would love your
recommendations.
thanks,
rosie

Oh wow wish I could help but my husband does all the housework (he's a
saint). We just have a plain old wind tunnel type.

an adjustable handle (important for 5'9" me, as most vacuums seem to be
designed for people who are 5'5" or so), etc., etc.
The Oreck stick vacuum is supposed to be great, but I am too cheap to
spring for it.

thanks for the recommendation...................i am 5'10" and
height is a big consideration too!

They say on their Web site they sell them in 22 countries, but Canada
isn't one of them.
Maybe they think Canadians don't vacuum their igloos. <grin/duck>
