    Lots of people are having their stuff repaired instead of disposing and buying new. Those tailors custom size your clothes, do embroidery and patching, in addition to repairs. Shoe repair shops will restore leather, resole boots, and give them all a good shine. I’ve never had a vacuum repaired, but they’re pricey enough that I’d definitely try that first. Check out your local repair shops. They probably do good work, because they get a lot more practice than you might think.
