what is the correlation between sewing machines and vacuum cleaners? was this by any chance started off by miele.


 


The only stores here that do both are the Elna sewing and knitting machine stores , they sell Miele but son't repair the vacuums.

Wasn't the relation of sewing machines and vacuum cleaners done by--Singer?Their lines of Sew&Vac stores-the lady of the house could get vacuums and parts and sewing equipment at the same place.And the person that ran the place knew both products-usually trained by Singer.This started just after WW2-another job opportunity for returning war veterans.

There has long been a relationship between vacuums and sewing machines. I think this is because of the Singer thing, but also because they are also domestic oriented appliances. If you've noticed, many of us here also enjoy washers and dryers, mixers, electric fans, ranges, etc. There is a natural correlation between sweepers and sewing machines because of their domestic roots.

I buy and fix/clean the odd Kirby (Generation series seems to be where the money is at) and sell on kijiji (as Zach above does). Wish I had more time it's fun fixing and then meeting people who want a Kirby.
