If you’ve got a few minutes, stop into the Vacuum Center in Destin and say hello to the owner, Bob Weichman. The man knows his vacuums and loves to talk about them. Recently Bob spent a few minutes with me sharing some insights on vacuum cleaner service. Most people overlook servicing a vacuum cleaner. “Ok, if you have a car, most people change their oil,” Bob said and I nodded in agreement. “We are all trained to service our vehicles regularly. But changing the oil and filter doesn’t make the car better; it just merely maintains the performance. But, when you service a vacuum cleaner, the vacuum cleans better and lasts longer!”
I said, “Really? Why is that?” “The enemy of a vacuum cleaner is dirt,” Bob said. “Dirt gets into the belts, gears and motor and reduces performance. An oil filter keeps the dirt out of the engine; changing the filter and oil maintains performance, but does not enhance performance. So, don’t you think you should have your vacuum serviced?” Bob said, “Come in to get the rest of the story.”
For the month of May, he is offering $10.00 off the service of any make or model vacuum cleaner. Visit the inside back cover of Destin Life for your free coupon. Vacuum Center Destin is located on Highway 98, 36054 Emerald Coast Pkwy., Destin. Call (850) 269-0505.
