It seems that My Lux Olympia One may have taken on a virus or something, made some strange noises, slowed down, then resumed normal speed. Not wishing to cause any harm, I decided not to use it for the rest of the cleaning day. (I clean once a year whether or not the house needs it. That's the kind of guy I am!) Now, this unit has served me very well, I have even used it in the garage, hooked to my dust collection system for my saws, etc. Never a bit of trouble. But that's not what I really wanted to talk about. In order to finish doing my above the floor chores, (Hoover Convertible now handles the carpets-Thank you again Tom Anderson)I selected my (Universal) Super Chief. Now, I was always surprised that Vacuum Cleaner manufactures waited as long as they did to put wheels on machines. I mean we have had the Wheel since the early 1800's. But after using the runnered vacuum this weekend, in actual work, I found (Oh help me) that I preferred it. It didn't wiggle it's way off table tops, (doing ceiling fans) didn't get in too big a hurry to get right up under my ass on the tiled floors, It just seemed more stable. I even liked picking it up and moving it to the next area instead of pulling the hose to bump a table leg etc. Because, even though the Olympia had bumpers, sometimes it still left a mark on paint. So now what? I guess now I'll prefer to dig the last sock out of my Wringer Washer water with a stick, instead of letting a newer appliance spin dry my clothes. Rick.
