RULES

All rules and removals are applied at moderator discretion.

1. Respect Other Users

If you’ve got a reason to disagree with someone, respectfully state it in your comment instead of insulting them. Avoid making vague or passive aggressive posts and responses. Bigotry and harassment are prohibited.

2. No Price Shaming

Respect people’s budgets and purchase decisions, regardless of how little or how much they are willing to spend.

3. Avoid Condescension and Elitism

Assume good faith. Though you may have strong feelings on certain brands, don’t be rude to people that recommend or own those vacuums.

4. Keep Discussions On Topic and Helpful

Try to give as much relevant information as you can when looking for help. Likewise, make a genuine effort to assist fellow users. All posts must be related to vacuum cleaners and cleaning.

5. No Review Blogs, AI Posts/Comments, Link Shorteners, or Affiliate Links
