Mystery parcel arrives with goodies inside


LOL - When Electrolux in Canada went to the US style hoses without the switch on them sales fell overnight. People here hated having the powerhead running at all times when it wasnt necessary. The result - a quick fix initially which saw the introduction of a hose handle with trigger for the US hoses then, shortly after, the introduction of the PN 6 which had a switch on it.


The trigger switch was actually very easy to use as it just rested on your hand as you held the handgrip - you didnt have to squeeze anything.


Another interesting piece of trivia - you can generally tell an American housewife from a Canadian housewife by the way she vacuums. Americans tend to hold the hose handle in one hand and let the machine do all the work while Canadians tend to have one hand on the handle and one on the wand and pretty much scrub the floor or carpet with the nozzle (we aren't patient in our cleaning)
