A water machine
We drove by this store in St. Petersburg...the whole group was laughing at me..including the translators...look...a Vacuum Store..!!!
This is what the hotel staff used in Riga
Now here we are in Helsinki Finland. A large department store by the name of Stockmann
The vacuum display
More
Some that are different
Hoover...seemed to be popular
There was also a Dyson Display...but we were getting nervous as the clerks were wondering why we were taking pictures of vacuums...LOL
Yes Hans, your right! And only straight suction.
We use only cylinder vacuums in Finland
Hi!
It would be nice to see when you next time visit in Finland. I live near Helsinki=)
Actually our vacuums are all cylinders. Only one upright Dyson or something and Electrolux Ergorapido is also very popular. About 70% of the market belongs to Electrolux (Electrolux and Volta together) and then Dyson and Miele.

Markus,
I wish I had know that you lived so close. It would have been fun meeting a fellow vacuum collector. Are you familiar with this department store. We had a whole day in Helsinki..it was awesome. Mark and I took the yellow boat tour which was recommended by our city tour leader.

What model is that?
In photo, "Reply #8", top-right on the Hoover stand, white & silver cylinder cleaner.
It looks like a curvy version of the late Eighties Mark 3 Hoover Sensotronic.

What stands out to me
is the quality of the displays! I rememer when I was a child vacuum displays in stores looked similar to this, but over in the UK now it's a few shelves with some cleaners vaguly assembled chucked on top. Those displays looks really nice!

Thanks Markus!
I have to agree. Most vacuum displays these days are simply thrown together and are a complete and utter hotch-potch. It is very refreshing to see a clean, tidy display, split by manufacturer.
