Recently, my friend Evan posted a throwback picture that showed him standing in his brand new to him vacuum store, that he bought from me, many years ago. I noticed the Miele Aquarius in the picture, brand new on the shelf, and I was filled with remorse that I never kept one when they were new.
When I sold my store to Even, I did keep the Gemini, but always kicked myself for not keeping the 'prettier' one. This year, for my birthday, my wonderful husband decided to get me the Aquarius. On eBay was a slightly used example. It arrived a few days past my birthday (who cares?). I'm so lucky to have married such a wonderful man. Here she is, standing next to the old Gemini that I've had for almost a decade now. I'm thinking of redoing my kitchen in the Miele Aquarius turquoise color.

Here's the old Gemini, cleaning up after my 100 pound Border Collie, Missy Mae. She wasn't 100 pounds at the time this picture was taken years ago. Both the dog, and the Miele, are still going strong. Missy loved her string toys, so there was always a mess for me to clean up. Neither I, nor the Miele, ever minded.

Here's Evan, all those years ago, on his first day in his 'new to him' vac shop. And both the Gemini and Aquarius on the Miele shelves. I sold a TON of Miele canisters and Evan continues to sell and service them to this day.
It was this throwback picture that made me long for the turquoise Aquarius.

Another thought about "housekeepers" if you must have one-have him or her provide their OWN equipment so they don't abuse yours. |
