 Bought a vacuum cleaner at Walmart, IIRC, it was a "Eureka" brand. 
 Months later, when I needed replacement bags, Walmart had none, nor 
 did they sell that model vacuum anymore. Local appliance parts store 
 had no bags either, they said it was a USA model vacuum, that only 
 Walmart (briefly) sold in Canada. 
 So, I had to buy a new vacuum! Well, yeah, I know - fool me once, 
 shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me - but I bought ANOTHER vacuum 
 from Walmart, this time a Bissel, but, thinking I'd beat the system I 
 bought a BAGLESS one. 
 Ha! Wasn't long before I needed parts, filters, and a belt - this 
 thing EATS belts. Surprise! No parts at Walmart. Don't seem to sell 
 this model anymore, either. 
 If you're tempted to buy a vacuum at Walmart by their low price, 
 BEWARE. Not much of a bargain, when a few weeks or months later, you 
 need a bag or belt, or a filter, that costs a few dollars, and find 
 you can't get them, and you have to BUY ANOTHER VACUUM! Hey, it's much 
 less work, and more profitable, to stock and sell vacuums than vacuum 
 parts. 
 DON'T GET SCREWED BY WALMART!
