Do you consider a vacuum cleaner is for inside use only?

Yes I do think they are only for inside use.
I was once told I would break the vacuum cleaner if I used it outside on cement - actually i use it on tiles and cannot really see the difference?

I do use my current one in the garage as it is a commercial one however do not use it on pavers outside.

95% yes.

The other 5% just as you open the front door, and clean your door mat.....and around the doorway.

Yes, I think that vacuum cleaners were designed to be used inside. You would need a commercial grade one if you wanted to use it outside. My daughter uses a vacuum cleaner in her car, but it is not the stick vacuum that we use inside the house. There are different types of vacuum cleaners for different uses, but I am sure that when they were originally designed, they would have been invented to make house work easier. Nowadays, you can get them for a variety of uses.

I think it depends on the machine. Shop-vacs can be inside/ outside but a regular cleaner should mainly be used for indoor tasks I think. Then again I use mine for my car and minor dusty messes. Overall maybe it varies by user and how often you want to replace your vacuum.

I'm afraid I am a bit freaky about his . . . . my Dyson is not allowed outside . . . . I do that spot of vacuuming outside the door but she stays in. Himself wanted to vacuum the car out (it's a pigsty!) and I wouldn't let him take her outside onto the drive. I love the vacuum at the servo for $2. Brilliant.

Yes, I only use it for the inside

by AJ

Yes with the exception of using it in my car also

Mostly inside, sure. But, we have a spare vac in the shed and I have used it in there to get rid of some crap on the ground...rat poison and crap. I didn't want to sweep it up and inhale it. >.<
