As
explained when talking about the bathroom, I thought my new vacuum
was having problems or blowing the fuse. As it turned out to be the
socket, I suddenly wondered - perhaps that was what had been wrong
with the old vacuum - perhaps I had not needed to buy a new one after
all!
Testing
it, the old white upright vac did indeed work - OOPSIES!
I am
glad that adventure happened though - as I had planned to buy a
floor-runner vac ever since arrival. I don't like the upright type,
finding them too bulky and heavy and difficult to use. A floor-runner
is much easier and what I have used for circa 20 years while in
Aussie. I can get into corners, under chairs and tables, and carry it
around in one hand while using it with the other. I do not regret the
purchase.
However,
it does mean that we have 3 unused vacs littering the house -
as well as my nice new one (new one on left)
The
little red one works - but creates a lot of dust and is difficult to
clean. The big white one puffs out dust as it goes and won't access
corners or under furniture without moving things. The yellow THING
does not do anyTHING more than make a funny noise, if that.
Plans
are to toss out the yellow one, dispose somehow of the red one, and clean up
and sell the white one - after all, I do have 3-4 unused bags for
that and it does still work properly - if you like big chunky uprights.... any
offers?
Well, I can't make an offer, but it's definitely a good idea to sell them. You could probably sell the red one, too. You should just put them up on eBay. :)
ReplyDeleteThe red one is a bit yukky to sell, with a crack on the handle and the bags filfthy.... but the white one can be cleaned up and sold. Actually, there was a leaflet in yesterday's junk mail offering to take away old junk to recycle - so i might just toss the yellow and red vacs out for that next week.
