Taking your vacuum in to be serviced results in feelings similar to when the dentist gives the lecture when you aren't flossing enough. The vacuum lady had saved my old filters to show me how impossibly dirty they were. I felt like the worst vacuum owner ever.

It was $50 including labor, two filters, a new belt, and a new bag. Seems a bit much to me, but considering it's been 5 years, I guess I shouldn't stress too much over the cost.

Death stares were on the house. ;)
