The Boss 4111 (An Electrolux in drag)

Image
This little fellow came by way of a cousin of mine, who had upgraded. It looks a nice little thing, it found it's way into the back of my car at a family party a month or so ago It looks tidy. Only had one tool though and a horrible re-useable cloth bag, with some tears in it as I later find out I wondered what to do with it at first, until someone at work asked me if I had anything for a 1 bedroom flat with floorboards throughout and one rug. Perfect!  So let's have it apart!  The extension tubes have a stiff rubber bush in the end, which pops out very easily  The parking bracket unscrews from the pole it sits on Floortool now, and I do like the design of these. Simple but quite effective  Cover off  The pedal unclips from the mechanism  The elbow unpops from the assembly  and the 2 rubber squeegee's slide out of their holder This random cover unclips from inside the floor tool  the 2 rear wheels pop out easily  And now

A look at my Dysons - December 2015

A long overdue update! I bought all the Dysons I owned down from the loft before Christmas, and had a bit of a photoshoot. These pictures are out of date now, as there has been some movement. is what it looked like! Here we have the oldies: DC01 De Stijl DC01 Absolute+ DC01 Standard  DA001 DC02 Standard As for the rest: The DC18 is awaiting surgery and refurbishment The DC50 is waiting for a miracle! The DC03 Clear is no longer with me, it now lives in Manchester in a glass case! The DC03 Absolute Plus I still have The DC05 Needs a new wand The DC16 gets used daily I also have a scrap DC02 Clear now, although that is being broken for spares. I also have a late DC01 Standard, which is faded and will be lent out to a family member after refurbishment as a stop gap vacuum. I didn't mean to start collecting DC01's, it just sort of happened!
