So Since we moved in to our new shop location I have not had much time off, working most evenings and weekends growing the business.

So I took off the weekend to have a break
On Saturday Joanne wanted to go and visit her Mom so I decided to go vacuum hunting.

Its been a year since I have actually headed out on a purpose trip and I eventually found some. Just 3 but its a nice start.

So here they are

Pale green Electrolux 350, Amazingly it came with its origional hose wand wand floor tool, AEG Vampyr 761i this one eith all its attachments including the small ones, and my favorite a AEF NT900 shopvac, I love shopvacs

When I look back at cleaners like those AEG and Meile of the same time, I cannot help but wonder how James Dyson was ever able to penetrate that price-bracket with his high-price low-quality cleaners. He deserved a knighthood for that alone.
 
AEG and Miele were dominating at that time I remember! Always used to instantly feel the person was richer is a nice Vampyr fell out of their cupboard!

I saw an electronic AEG sat in the top of the metal skip with full electric hose, turbo brush and only a bit of tape around the hose handle (possibly a world of trouble). Jobsworth wouldn't let me have it, and he kept watching me as I finished unloading so I couldnt sneak it into the boot. Shame!
 
The variable power symbols on the AEG are the same as on my 2000 Electrolux Tango, which isn't really surprising as AEG and Electrolux are the same brand in all but name.
