Anyone who's ever vacuumed their home will have experienced frustration with vacuum cleaner cords. They're either too short, which means you yank the plug out of the socket the moment you stray too far from it. Or they're too long, which means you spend endless minutes spooling them up every time you move from room to room.
And even if your cord is somehow magically the right length, that's not the end of your problems. Because somehow, it seems impossible to avoid getting the cord tangled around itself, your furniture or yourself, making the task of vacuuming your floor all the more time-consuming and exhausting. Not least if you end up tripping over the darned thing and taking an undignified tumble.
