Vacuum Brands to Avoid: Models with Poor Suction & Reliability Issues

Hey everyone, Sarah here! As someone who spends a lot of time researching vacuum cleaners, I've come across some models that just don't cut it. To save you the frustration (and money!), I've put together a list of vacuums that frequently receive complaints about weak suction, flimsy parts, or just plain giving up too soon. Always do your homework before buying!
