It's a lot like a toothbrush.

In a true emergency, I'd lend my vacuum to a close family member or friend if I knew the conditions of their home.

A neighbor? Unless you're very close BFFs, absolutely not. Gross.

You're batshit crazy.

I wouldn't even do that. That's just gross.

Why is it gross? I’m not putting the vacuum cleaner in my mouth.

Would you also use a neighbors hair brush? Their underwear?

Use a broom to get the biggest bits of dirt. If need be, moisten a rag or some paper towels and get the corners. Guests won’t really notice or care.

There will be a post tomorrow from a DIL concerned that their relatives is unable to care for themselves or their house and it might be time for a home.

Still not vacuum cleaners. You might have trouble with classification.

How do I know you're not vacuuming up fleas, bedbugs. No thanks hard pass on sharing my expensive dyson.

I’d want to know how the last one broke…misuse? I wouldn’t trust you with a really expensive one, or maybe I’d have you sign a contract first to cover damages.

If you have to ask here, you probably don't know your neighbor well enough to request the use of an appliance on a holiday.

I have a neighbor who texts VERY sporadically with oddly specific small appliance needs - an immersion blender was one. I literally have not seen this woman in person in years, maybe a decade. I didn't know who the text was from. Don't be that weirdo neighbor OP.

DCUM is a weirdo world, OP. Chances are that your neighbors would be happy to lend you their vacuum. I would do that for you.

Same. You can borrow my nice Dyson, no big deal.
