Upon checking the status of my Whirlwind, I found a site that claims a 74 year old man owns the 'worlds oldest' vacuum cleaner. It's an electric tank machine made by Goblin. Nice machine so check it out. As we all know however, it's not the oldest! By the way, I have posted the correction and told them about my whirlwind, which will turn 141 years old a few days after the convention. Alex Taber |

Thanks for the info guys. It would be interesting to know what else is out there. When it comes to vacuum cleaners sold on the other side of the big pond, Hoover really did clean up (sorry for the bad pun, I just couldn't resist). The term over there was 'Hoovering'. As I said, thanks guys. Alex Taber |
