Yep Goblin Housemaid
When I was a kid and saw that episode, I used to think it was a very BOL Kenmore Twin Fan from the early 90s. The colors looked similar, had the soft bag and that shape hood, but actually they didn't have a headlight like this does. But of course those machines were never sold in UK.
Another post here about it several years ago thought it was a BOL Hoover Elite, I can kind of see the resemblance. It's surprising to me they used a machine that old in the scene. The episode with the orange Electrolux at Rose's is actually the same one this is. I thought it was funny they got two vacuums in the same one. Also in earlier series, keep a lookout in Onslow and Daisy's living room for a very late production Hoover Junior U1104 (mid-late 80s model)! These are the only 3 vacuums I'm aware of in the series. We used to guess what Hyacinth would have, I guessed maybe a Dyson DC01 or DC02 so she could brag about how she has something very modern, but on the other hand she probably would think it was too strange looking and would go for a Hoover or Electrolux with the Royal Warrant! Something very expensive surely! | ||

Were it Hyacinth's house, yes, but for Liz and Emmet this was perfectly understandable. Completely unrelated I know but do you remember in the early '90's when they used a Hoover Dial-A-Matic U6039-030 on "Family Matters?" I've heard tell of the same DAM being used on "Roseanne." You would think the Winslow's would've at least had a Concept One by that time.

Speaking of Dial A Matics, I remember seeing one in an early 90s Matlock episode too. It was a later 70s model in that taupe/gray color. His housekeeper was using it. Always thought it was funny he'd have bought a top of the line Hoover even if it would have been getting on 14 years old as well, let alone pay for a housekeeper. But then he did always have the newest top of the line Ford Crown Victoria.
True on the age thing. I grew up in the 90s and anything 80s and before seemed "old" to me just because it was before my time. It's hard now to accept the 90s was over 20 years ago now, it doesn't seem long. And I agree with vacuums. I have some I got in 2012 hard to believe they're 8 years old. To me stuff from the late 2000s and early 2010s still feels relatively new, since iPhones, etc were already around, hard to believe 2007 was 13 years ago, still seems like modern era. I suppose people still have older machines in use. Seems like a lot of the newer bagless vacuums people just throw out when they need any maintenance though. Back to the topic of the post, I could see Hyacinth now picking up the phone. "Oh, it's you Violet, yes. I was just finishing up cleaning my grade one Axminster. Oh, yes Violet I have a vacuum cleaner, of course. Yes, dear mah Hoov-ah with the Royal Warrant!" | ||
