As a young boy already fascinated by vacuum cleaners, I was thrilled to see GE’s little portable hand vacuum on display at the New York World’s Fair in 1965. It was sitting on the floor amongst other GE small appliances placed in front of the Christmas tree in the final scene of GE’s Carousel...

The solution is really simple: add a VarioClip on the canister end of the electric hose to store three separate tools - just like they offer on the Guard S1 and old C1. Or better still: include a nice plastic tool caddy with some of their premium attachments like a mini turbo brush and soft...

Miele is being very deceptive about this issue of no integrated dusting brush for the L1 models with the power nozzle. All their websites say that the models have Comfort Handles with integrated dusting brush, but if you zoom in on the photos of the electric hose handles, it’s not there. Take...

Not on the power nozzle deluxe Guard L1 The electrified hose has the standard Miele electric handle with no integrated dusting brush.

I had been a die-hard Miele fan up until the discovery of the design flaw in the C3 bag docking system. Nowhere in the literature or advertising did Miele explain that the C3 bag would slide out of alignment whenever you opened the bag compartment to just check the bag or replace the exhaust...

Yes….those “back-saver” curved wands were offered with the suction only versions of the Oxygen canisters made by Electrolux and also sold as Eurekas in North America. The idea was to help reduce the need for bending when cleaning under furniture.

We are pretty lucky up here in Canada: sale price for a deluxe Sebo D4 with power nozzle is now CAD$900. And I can get a suction only D4 Kombi for CAD$570. Question: will the optional Sebo extension hose fit securely on the handle of a D4 hose? Would make it easier to clean drawers and car...

I like the design of the British Hotpoint uprights of the 1980’s. Here’s Beko1987 putting together a Hotpoint Junior upright on YouTube - very interesting!

And here is the current website for Hotpoint UK: https://www.hotpoint.co.uk/about-us It seems the brand is quite visible in the UK even today.

For the money you pay, you’d think they would have a headlight on all the Miele power nozzles. Even the cheapest stick vacs have some LED bulbs on the front of the nozzle.

I love these little Electrolux cookies! All you need is to create a little paper stencil of the Electrolux logo and use frosting sugar to add the logo in white!!!

I think it’s more planned: in the early days of television, show producers were exploring ways to pay for the production and advertising products was a central way to fund the shows from day one. The early tv shows often began with something like “Philip Morris presents” or “I Love...

Hoover and Westinghouse definitely did paid product placement on the early TV comedies like I Love Lucy and Bewitched.
