Although I did not think much of this cleaner when it was on sale again, I have modified my opinion since collecting this one

Hi Al:
Thanks - great to see some of the models I've only read about up till now. LOL - I see there is also a Bylock, Vactric and one of the many made by Siroma Engineering in the background.

Hi Alistair....
Hi Alistair.
Its Nice to see your pictures of your Goblin Housemaid.
I do like the Gobln Housemaid even tho I prefur the Goblin Commander which was the updated version of the Housemaid.
I would like both types of Housemaid at some point.
Where did you get yours from?

Thanks for the kind words guys
They are much appreciated.
Terry, that is just a part of the collection - I did not even have any of my Seniors (your convertibles) out, and there was hardly an Electrolux to be seen. I have been "officially" collecting for about 9 years although the first in my collection (and incidentally one of the rarest - an Electrolux 116) was bought in 1993. Next up was the 119, rescued by a friend around 1998 or so. Most of my cleaners have come from ebay although some have also come from fellow collectors. I dare not attend "car boot sales" for I fear the house would be FULL of all sorts - its bad enough with the cleaners, mixers and a few other small appliances.
Pete, well I am not quite at the point of my namesake on your side of the pond, but it feels like it is not far off! When I get everything back in place I may share a photo.
James, the Housemaid was something of a bargain, I actually got two for £2.00 (say $3.00), and two brochures thrown in. As I said on my trident thread, sometimes ebay does work out. I passed the other one on several years ago I am afraid.

Hand on heart
Pete, I hardly ever use it. My sister has one which she uses a lot but as I am generally cooking just for me, it is not so good at small quantities. It will cook french fries in about a teaspoonfull of oil, but they are more like oven chips than "proper" fries. It is brilliant for sausages though. I bought mine on sale at a good reduction but I would really recommend anyone to wait until they find one at goodwill for $10 unless they have a large family or like a lot of french fries (and you can start with potatoes for these) and have to watch their fat intake.
