Do you use vacuum attachments/ accessories?

I am always so excited about all of the attachments that come with vacuums..but then I soon realize that I hardly or never use them! They end up being stored away in the closet. Do you use yours? If so which are your favorites?

No, never. I love them when I buy the vacuum cleaner, I just don't use them. My cleaning lady does the drapes, mouldings, seat cushions etc. She brings her vacuum cleaner.....and attachments.

Me three. I bought the shark liftaway and it has a bunch of extra parts. They take up a lot of room. On my small handheld oreck, I recently started using a brush. Had the vacuum for ten years.

I have a canister vacuum and really only use the carpet attachment and the hard floor attachment. The other attachments are good to have when a mess comes up and you really need them but that hardly ever happens for me.

I bought a Shark last fall and I put all of the extras in the drawstring bag that came with, and they are still there.

Yes, I do. If you don't, then how do you vacuum your upholstered furniture, along the baseboards and where the walls meet the ceiling, where sometimes you can see cobwebs collecting in the corners? I also use them to vacuum ceiling fan blades, door jams, cold air return registers, in between kitchen cabinets and the refrigerator, under the stove, and carpeted stairs, among other uses. Would not purchase a vacuum that does not include attachments.

I use the edging tool on my upright about every other time I vacuum.

Yes I do also.

Always buy a vacuum with attachments.

I use the small round one for lampshades, works great. And also for everything you named.

I have a smaller handheld vacuum, as well as incredible microfiber dusters with extensions for those tasks. I do use an upholstery brush, crevice tool and extension wand on the handheld. As for my upright, I just hardly use them!
