This may sound a bit bizarre coming from a Canadian, but I have often been surprised to find out the actual home base of certain European vac-makers, when one considers the "ethnicity" of the brand name itself....
Here are a few examples: Though Miele sounds like a French name, it's actually a German company. Though Philips sounds like a British name, it's actually a Dutch company. Though Rowenta sounds like an Italian or Spanish name, it's actually a French brandname. Though Lindhaus sounds like a German name, it's actually an Italian company. Though Volta sounds like an Italian name, it's actually a Swedish company. Though Arthur Martin sounds like a British name, it's actually a French brandname. Though Zelmer sounds like a German name, it's actually a Polish company.... Kind of interesting, no? I'm sure my European friends overseas could correct me on some of this, and perhaps even add to the list! :-) | ||

Yes, rowenta isn't French, they're German. Well known for the irons they produce | ||

I always found Rowenta's triangular carpet nozzles fascinating. Do any readers have practical experience with this Rowenta attachment? Does it clean well? Is the shape useful?
