Mine is inside the vacuum cleaner, as most of my "bad"
coils wind up on the floor. Not on purpose mind you, but if I am having a horrible time with a coil, I usually eventually drop it and can't find it.
I know, it's an art. So, here:
BEST VACUUM ever BTW. Have owned mine 14 years and changed the belt. Once. My son is a Kirby fanatic, but like, I'm sorry I was a hotel maid in college and we all used whatever version of these. LOL
