Vacuum cleaners an antidote to Brexit.
I have had about 5 vacuum cleaners over the last 30 years.
First up was a Hoover upright which had a bloated bag strapped inside a pouch dangling from the handle. It produced more dust than it sucked up so it was sent to Hoover heaven.
Next up was a second hand Hoover floating ball. It was a bit like a hovercraft and floated around on a cushion of air that was cunningly engineered from within the beast itself. I liked this. Ancient pedigree from the 1960's but attachments became scarce especially the hose which split and gentle covered the house in dust. Sent to Hoover heaven.
Third vacuum cleaner was another upright, again from the house of Hoover. This was an update of Hoover one with bag of dusty entrails but encased in hard shell. Probably due to EU regulations this device was throttled back so failed on its principle function. It could not suck up anything bigger than a grain of rice.
Frustration and motor noise sent this to Hoover heaven.
Fourth machine was a red bucket device with a smiling sinister face. This machine was the opposite of machine 3. It almost removed the carpets and was dangerous if the suction tube came near to anything delicate sent to hoover heaven as it created havoc and could not be controlled.
Finally a posh German device built like a tiger tank with a controllable motor. Ear defenders need to be worn on high settings. This device is still with me and seems to be in for the long haul as it shows no signs of breaking down or misbehaving.
Anyone got any Hoover horror stories they wish to share?
