PSA: My vacuum died in the middle of cleaning up cat litter yesterday

I was half done vacuuming the living room rug when the belt snapped and it started smoking. I remembered I had an old vacuum in the basement my aunt gave me last year, so I dug it out and it worked perfect. Has anyone else kept a backup appliance around and actually needed it?

My friend Jen had her Dyson die mid-sweep last month, right as her cat decided to barf on the carpet. She ran to grab the old Bissell she kept in the garage, @terry_barnes, and it totally saved her. Guess backups are worth holding onto even when they look like junk.

Hamster died from dust?! @tarajenkins is that even possible?

My buddy Mike keeps three vacuum cleaners in his apartment... one for each floor. His hamster died in a closet two years ago because he couldn't find his backup vacuum in time and the dust just piled up.
