Vacuum in understanding
Out to the shops in Skipton town centre this morning to purchase a new vacuum cleaner for the cottage. Not that the one we have is broken. Its a perfectly functioning upright Panasonic. The problem is that for the second time in six months guests have damaged the power cable by running the cleaner head over it. As the local repair shop has quoted yet another £30 for replacement - almost half of what we paid for the whole machine new - its time to replace it with a cylinder cleaner. I am at a loss to understand how this happens. It's not the guests I blame, but the designer of a machine which is so readily rendered unsafe by normal useage. Surely this product should not be on sale?
