I bought a Riccar canister vacuum (The Moonlight) a few years ago and lately I'm having issues with the power. I need to jiggle the cord in and out of the machine to get it to turn on now. Sounds to me like a loose wire inside.
Should I attempt to fix this myself, take it to someone like you, or just buy a new vacuum? (I'm fairly handy with electrical devices)
Also, I feel like it sucks compared to when it was new (or doesn't suck as this case may be). Could this be an issue with the filter or just the vacuum getting old?
Finally, how long should a good vacuum last assuming you're using it weekly in a house with a toddler and 4 cats?
