I have to say it is nice to see someone protect the bumper when on pavement for pictures.We see them brought in for service that have been rubbed against brick fireplaces as thought that will get the last speck of dust at the edges.Also see vacs that go to driveway to clean cars and end up with hose run over.And one Diamond Jubilee Elux that was itself run over.--Happy Vacuuming(with well cared for vacs)
