ein Sauglöwe ;-)))
Cool to see them reappear again! They sold as "Sauglöwe" series (literally "suction lion") in Germany and they came in several colours and 3 or 4 levels of luxury (from this basic model to the cable winder model up to the one with different power settings). I remember crab orange (like this one), curry coloured, cappucino and lavender.
I still remember the TV commercial:
In black and white, some very lively and careless animated dust particles were having a party deep down in the carpet pile. Then some sort of earthquake interrupted them, they started screaming.
Zoom back, the "Sauglöwe" hose and wand would magically stand up straight like cobra, the nozzle underneath having a horrible angry monster face instead of a bottom plate and sharp teeth and fangs, you would hear a loud roar and the sinister eyes focused the dust particles. In a whirlwind they were all swallowed up and away.
Yet another zoom back, now slowly shifting to colour TV and the machine stands on the floor, the hose and the wand effortlessly draped around a ABBA type lady.
"Hoover Sauglöwe, nothing can resist it - nor can you".
Cute, isn't it? ;-))
Nice machine, good to see one of them again.
) Its sounds ok and I'm sure it wil clean up ok
