Ryry if it's 32mm then it is a replacement set. The hose looks original though. But as the Omni originally had shiny metal tubes and that exact same popular Wessel Werk floor tool, I thought it was the original kit. |

Ryry there is also an electronic version which I think is the green colour. There was an orange colour too, but I think that was a lower power version of what you have here. |

Well I don't remember seeing them in shops, but they probably were sold that way. Where I remember these cleaners is in catalogues. |

If it has the Electrolux motor you may find another to put into it fairly easily. |

Well you don't see many of those! I've seen pictures but never worked on one. I think the retail price was too high for what it was. I don't think people who wanted a cheap, small cleaner wanted to pay that much. |

well apart from the cord rewind, it's not a lot different to a regular Rio which was quite a bit cheaper. The regular rio being around £39 and the Rio Grande about £20 more |

That's right. So 50% more expensive than a standard Rio. That's a massive % and £20 was a lot back then. I think the Solo was about £60 too. |

I think a thread dedicated to catalogue pictures is an excellent idea. That Goblin Omni 1000 is rather an odd looking thing (I like it though), it rather looks like it's made up from bits of other vacuums. Dave |

I know I am in the US but I really want one of the basic goblin rio's. I always liked how the goblin cylinders looked. The Omni looks really neat! Scott |

The small Goblin cylinders like the rios were nice small vacuum cleaners.
My very 1st real vacuum cleaner was a mostly red and black bottomed Goblin cylinder like the small Goblin Rios in the posts above.I found it in a bin storage area when I was staying at my dads maisonette for the weekend when me and my brother was young. Around 1989/90ish I wish I could find another... James:o) |
