don't get distracted
a very fine machine, I remember them being sold as "Sauglöwe" over here (""suction lion" that is actually).
If you want it, if you can get it, it is just ok.
Just overhear those comments. You just have it.
How many times have I listened to those "yieeeks-shreeeks" comments and have not slammed down the hammer at an auction, I could bite my own ass off....
There was this wonderful kitchen mixer, this vintage vac, this other accessory.... (you can get what I am talking about).
Anyway: Congrats, this is a fine vacuum, I know how strong it is, had a similar one here. And I love its sound, this low-hummed and likewise hissing streaming air rushing, unless all other Hoover vacs, this one IS and SOUNDS strong.
