It's also crazy wasteful. Your grandmother thinks you're a spendthrift.

That just proves that you didn't know my grandmother. She had three houses, and I couldn't tell you how many vacuums she had.

With that kind of family $, why are you vacuuming at all?

Because I'm a tidy person who is too cheap to pay for full time help. It's how you STAY rich.

+1- I lived with just one attachment set for the first year of home ownership. It was worth the extra $$ on Ebay to buy 2 more sets for the upstairs and basement. I also have a garage kit which was pretty inexpensive to clean out the cars and garage floor. While I do have a cleaning person, she only comes every other week so I probably vacuum at least four times between her visits and it's worth my sanity to make it as easy as possible.

Another 3 floors, one real vacuum person here and would not think it's at all standard or typical to have multiple vacuums. But I will say that a lightweight stick vacuum has been a lifesaver for all the crumbs and stuff my kids drop all the time, so I do have that as well as our bigger vacuum but both are on the main level.

My friend asked where I kept the vacuum for the basement and I told her it was upstairs on the 3rd floor. She seemed shocked that I didn't have one on each level of the house. Is this a thing people do? I never considered owning one for each floor of my house. I'm still capable of carrying a machine up and down the stairs. Granted, I don't vacuum very often since I have a weekly cleaning lady. Maybe if I did my own cleaning I could see the point.

I have a belt for each pant!
