Read the 'story' below before clicking on the link ...
My hubby is retired and sits around the house all day. I told him, "You could do something useful, like vacuum the house once a week."
He gives it a moment's thought and says, "Sure, why not. Show me to the vacuum."
Half an hour later, he comes into the kitchen to get some coffee. I said, "I didn't hear the vacuum running. I thought you were using it?" ...
Exasperated he answers, "The stupid thing is broken, won't start. Got to buy a new one."

30ccpickup · 11-18-2015, 05:06 PM

I would buy a new one, even the Model A had an electric start.

henry's 31 · 11-18-2015, 05:19 PM

Mike V. Florida · 11-19-2015, 01:26 PM

that was funny.

100IH · 11-19-2015, 02:44 PM

That's a Miele from Germany. Very quiet and rolls on the carpet easily. We just got one and when the wife let me try it, I didn't to give it back! Honest.

As a great cartoonist once explained,

Dollars to doughnuts, she went ahead vacuumed the rug.......

copgib · 08-14-2018, 06:02 PM

I love it!

31Cabriolet68-C · 08-14-2018, 06:14 PM

BTW. Strong agreement on that Miele mention! Quiet, great dust filter, easy to handle... Stole one of my wife's (she's got 2!)... It's a fine little vacuum for the Cabriolet, or for any Model A at all. And, to be honest, the one she, 'Let me borrow' back in July is currently still hidden in the rumble seat... John Baldwin

A vacuum is the best defense against BUGS.

Got a robot vacuum. Push the button and let it go - just have to empty it once in a while.

There is a series of videos on YouTube of Rumba Cat, a cat that likes to ride around on a Rumba vacuum! The owner is a good looking girl too.

If Bill got one he could have a "Rumba Dog"!
