Ohh..
Something about different cars people drive in the Europe. My Nissan Maxima with the V6 engine has caused MANY people to comment that I should drive a 4-cylinder. I don't get that. Maxima (year 1999) is basic car. I mean those people has never even driven the Maxima. It's motor IS NOT so thirsty like they think. It's all about how you drive it. I mainly drive on the highway so for me it's ideal choice. In Finland diesels are very popular, but more expensive than petrol engines.
My basic car:

Nissans, owing China money;

Lots of Nissans here as well. Vintage Maxima's, newer ones, Altimas, (my cousin has a '94. Sentras, Trucks, Quest mini vans too. The assembly plant is in Smyrna Tennessee. Domestic content is near 54%. Oh, and some of those Upper Peninsula Finn's were also copper miners. Some may have came in from Minnesota as well.
Sebo, don't believe everything you hear in the news. We import billions worth of goods per year from China at a very low wholesale cost.
What one political faction wishes us to fall for may be other than truth, and that same party opened the door to China back in 1970.
Think! If you were China, would you go on sending goods without being paid?
We have been helping China out of their poverty predicament and failed experiment by chairman Mao. They are determined not to need to import wheat from the USA as Russia did in 1976.
 
Since we were talking history,

most of that same political party opposed the Marshall plan to rebuild England and Europe after WW2. Luckily FDR got it passed anyhow.
Without us Yanks who all paid for both, the British would be speaking German today, and that would have most definitely not been ok with Queen Mum, nor Churchill. Mum is of German descent as you well know.
 
WITHOUT the American military, my town in Scotland wouldn't have been subject to fill the River Clyde with nuclear waste due to the navy base that we had in the 1980s. That was the reality despite how kind hearted all the military families were.
 
Nar, Holy Loch

was a royal navy base during WW2, then prime minister Macmillan agreed to allow Eisenhower to use it for a refit base. It has been closed since 1992.
There was one collision nearby with a Russian attack sub. There was no radiation contamination from that incident. Any other contamination is not mentioned.
Dr. Laurel Clark was the assigned radiation physician at Subron 14. She died in the 2003 Space Shuttle Columbia disaster over Texas. It's just not a perfect world.
Scotland has some of the worlds most beautiful scenery. Online photos of the Edinburgh area are lush, green, unspoiled and cared for.
Compared to the Navy base area at Hampton Roads Virginia, I'd rather live in Scotland.
 
Inform yourself

Dont believe everything you read,

When the Americans moved in and from 1961 to 1992, it became a factory for trident missiles as well as US Polaris and Poseidon nuclear submarines.

In the 1980s documents were found in bags dumped by the Naval base and discovered in the west bay of the town. So much for classified info; it was discovered by a local lady who was taking a little boy for a walk. The documents revealed pretty much the same kind of story like the film of Erin Brockovich. Made the local paper but was quickly suppressed by the Naval base...

There was also the death of a boy in the 1970s linked from swimming in local waters adjacent from the Holy Loch and who developed a leukemia related cancer.
 
LED lights are always on when ph is turned on.

Some notes after using this: Height adjustment goes very high. If I compare it to the Kärcher upright, Elux settings go higher. I can easily vacuum my medium pile shag carpet on level 1 without it being hard to push. In the Kärcher I have to use setting 3. Still it goes low enough for low pile carpet. Brushes are quite stiff, much stiffer than in the Miele SEB-217, but a bit softer than in the Kärcher. Overall brushroll is quite aggressive. Vacuuming the low pile carpet it makes very high roar noise and visual agitation is present.
This cost me just a 84€ which is good value for the money.

Brushroll is very easy to take off. Video shows it.
