Do they still exist? Full disclosure, I am asking MN before googling it myself.
I have cleaned the whole house this week and the vacuum cleaner is safely stashed away until next time. It occurs to me that I would like to have an old-school carpet sweeper not anything that has to be plugged in/charged up. Just something to avoid bending down with the dustpan and brush on a daily basis as I'm not dragging the hoover out every day (sorry MN clean freaks!).
