A retired guy sits around the house all day, so one day his wife says,“Ed, you could do something useful, like vacuum the house once a week."
Ed gives it a moment’s thought and says: “Sure! Why not.Where’s the vacuum ?" Half an hour later, Ed comes into the kitchen to get some coffee.
His wife says, “I didn't hear the vacuum running: I thought you were going to do the vacuuming ?” Exasperated, Ed answers, “The stupid thing is broken: it won't start. We need to buy a new one.”
Really ?” she says, “show me -- it worked fine the last time.” So he shows her.

Funny. Reminds me of my father's lawnmower when I was a teenager. He did get another one, when he couldn't start it.

I recently had surgery, and am not permitted to do such chores for a few weeks.
Husband ( married 61 years) offered to Vacc the lounge , etc.
When he had done so I thanked him and said it looked lovely. As I went to sit down he yelled at me " Don't walk on my clean carpet"!!!

Maybe the vacuum needed a new sparkplug

No, I think the fuel injectors needed cleaning.

It also may need a new frammis valve filter
I think both of my vacuums do the same thing. How do I fix that?

Hire a maid. If you can't afford a professional maid, perhaps a semi-pro, or and advanced hobbiest maid will do. Or maybe a friend or a relative with an up to date vacuum would do the job for you. But if you ask a friend or relative be aware that you might not like the results.
