Shocking Performance - Vacuum Cleaner On The Blink After Only........

[Mosaic]

25 years......vacuuming dust, rubble, carpets, more rubble, plaster dust, more plaster dust, having been used bagless for 5 years just for kicks, and now - the cheek of it - it's decided to go all wimpy and weak.

[Tilly2]

Oh dear. Now you have a decision to make. Do you have any idea how many different types of vacuum cleaners there are now?

[jennyjoan]

Ach Jesus what do you want for 25 years - many people have died in this time.

[B00]

Have a word with huckle (over in news) he'll be able to fix it, if not he'll phone the manufacturer for you.

;-)

[Mosaic]

I've just looked at the first page of several hundred on amazon.....gone are the days when a wandering Sikh brought a suitcase of brushes and a new-fangled electrolux to your doorstep.

[Quizproquo]

Poke a broomstick up the pipe to shift whatever's blocking it and set it back to work

[Mosaic]

Indeed Boo - in fact I may phone the CEO of Vax and give him a talking-to.

[Quizproquo]

Can't beat a Henry

[Mosaic]

Nay quizpro, that won't do it - it's the motor having a slow heart attack. The tubes are all as clear as - well they're dusty but no big lumps.

[Quizproquo]

And leave Huckle alone. He's new.

[Mosaic]

I'm interested in that assessment of a Henry, as this one appears to have 'Henry' design ie just straightforward conatiner and vacuum hose. I like simple.

[Quizproquo]

Darn it Mosaic. Oh well, a Henry it is then

[Mosaic]

You mean.....fresh meat?? (licks fangs)

[Psybbo]

Tut tut, that is serious abuse, you ought to be ashamed of overworking the poor thing!

[Mosaic]

It was meant to be a dual vacuum cleaner and wet carpet cleaner but the wet function never worked. Consequently I vented my rage on it for a quarter century.

[Tilly2]

Think of the delight when you do get a new one, Mosaic. You will be in heaven.

[ummmm]

I have a Hetty which is the same as a Henry but pink and pretty and cute :-)

[Psybbo]

Vacuum delight, Tilly!

[aelmpvw]

it shouldn't have packed up after twenty five goes ... take it back

[Mosaic]

I would take it back, but the market stall I bought it from no longer exists. or the market that the stall was on. Another example of shocking service and the country going to the dogs.

[aelmpvw]

spose you'll just have to suck it up
