It'd be funny if they did do a W&D, the thing would just implode on itself.... :P | ||

The thing is ...
Its not a new concept at all. There has been at least one US cleaner with a cardboard body mentioned in the Vintage forum, and I have a Goblin, not sure if 1940s or 1950s, and that too has a cardboard body as I was somewhat surprised to find. What alerted me to the fact was how light it was.
Seeing its marked as a Vax I wonder will it be a Hoover in the US? Al | ||

I think it would definitely be marketed (if they do market it) as a Hoover over int he states, being a TTI brand... | ||

Well, they say they put fire retardants into the cardboard to prevent fires, but, I still don't think it would take off... :P | ||

back in the 40's when things were made properly and not to the lowest bidder in the east.
Today we were doing a bit of rearranging in the shop and I ( stupid idiot ) knocked a late 40's Electrolux off a two meter shelf and it landed on a current model Electrolux bagged cylinder , I should rather say it landed through it. it demolished the machine ( a trade inn from a customer this morning ) only a few scrathches on the old 40's machine | ||

"cardboard is better than plastic when it comes to cheap Good point actually... BUT, if a vac is well-made, it should never need to go to landfill... ;) | ||

I wonder what kind of motor it has in it but I know I would never buy one but I think they may be more popular in Asia or maybe some one who was in collage. Zach | ||

Well if a vacuum can deep clean a carpet it can deep clean a carpet.
Its just that some do it more agressive than others. Its not that it cleans better... I found the UK Electrolux rebranded sanis over here to be a poorer copy of the USAs original Eurekas sanis. Hence I sold mine on. I like the look of some of the older Eureka's Oh well it could be worse they could be made of cardboard;o) James:o) | ||
