As with /r/411 this is where you ask what Community you're looking for but not finding. Perhaps a bit more helpful now that some communities are only found on certain instances.
Found/new community announcements - there are numerous "announcement type communities - see https://lemmy.ca/post/612532
There is also !wowthislemmyexists@lemmy.ca
Before you request There are several resources available to find communities and resources and these have been pinned to the top.
- there are community search engines at https://browse.feddit.de/ and https://lemmyverse.net/communities
- there are numerous other "find a community" and "community announcement" .. communities (list stickied; if you find another, comment pls)
- we will publish a Community Listing (at an as-of-yet-undetermined schedule)

Stuff from two decades ago is far higher quality than anything produced now. If the plug is getting hot, you can replace the cord or simply start by using a wire brush to remove any oxide or dirt from the terminals of the plug.
The power is likely 1400 watts and if so, it is typical for a cord to get a little warm with continuous use. You will find the same cord warmness from toasters, portable heaters, window air conditioners, and microwaves.
Thanks, that makes sense. What we might settle on is a lighter one for doing stairs and the upstairs, and the older, heavy one for downstairs (20 lbs is a tad unwieldy and makes me yearn for a whole house vacuum system). I've found a vacuum repair place nearby with good reviews, so I can take the older one in for service.
