The Goblin Wizard, Goblin Imp 202, and Vaclight Robot are all courtesy of a close friend in England through a trade. Michael, if you are reading this, you are a class act.

I will do individual posts on each tomorrow in this thread as 2 of the 3 have not been featured on Vacuumland before.

The Goblin 202(Imp). The unholy lovechild of a Hoover Dustette and a Royal Prince. Doug Smith found one in an Argos catalog dating it to around 1976.

The Vaclight Robot. As it was suppressed, this was made in the post war era using an older Vorwerk design. Seeing as this was made in West Germany, it could be a subsidiary of Vorwerk or someone bought the design rights. Usually with knockoffs they change enough to make it different, but most parts from the Vorwerk would fit this. It can also be made into a hand cleaner, or a hair dryer as there is an electric port for a heating element on the back of the motor.

The Goblin Wizard model 30. This one can be taken apart and worn as a handheld(literally), with a myriad of attachments that connect to the front, most of which are missing. It is an adorably small little cleaner, made around 1930.

Very cool! Nice cleaners. That Vaclight was a very ahead of its time idea there, and combining a vacuum and a hair dryer? Wow!
