I've been thinking one should use a canister style vacuum (interesting that
many cleaning ladies seem to insist on them). Then get an extra long hose?
Older ones may have steel bodies which might help. Getting the contacts
cleaned (and brushes tightened?) might help. Plugging into a filter might
help too (I usually recommend IceRadioproducts model 475 in the US)
by keeping noise off the house wires. With your shielded wires, it may
be less of an issue.
Can you say more about the kind of wiring you used in your house?
It's probably not that hard to put a new cord on the vacuum. Adding
shielding
is a little harder and you might create the danger of arcing or a short.
If you have Wye power in your area, the house ground is almost certainly
contaminated with noise, and grounding the vac to that may not be an
advantage.
