Electrolux does some pretty cool stuff already. I looked at their refrigerators but couldn't find a local dealer at the time.

How about a Trilobite! I'd like to have one to drive my wife's cat nuts.

that Trilobite looks naughty as the header

I find in most cases it's only as naughty as the person interpreting it.

But since you brought it up it might be a good idea for an entry in the design competition. But which category would this fall under?
Hmmm.. maybe I'll consult with Richard. I'm sure he has some experience with this kind of device.

'The Muff Muncher"

I had a freind when I was younger (can you imagine that) who considered the idea of the vacuum cleaner giving some satisfaction (he was sicker than me, can you also imagine that). Save you the details but to say that he gained little satisfaction and ended up with half an inch greated girth just to one side and in one spot and much bruising.

So JP if you yourself had any ideas don't do this at home.

Too much detail Richard, and what were you doing examining him...

I didn't suggest I took a peek, just his word.

... my old vacuum cleaner : very design isn't it? Bakelite + streamline like Raymond Loewy style

We all have those kind of friends....

Frenchy thank you for sharing and not telling us what you use it for. You seem to have an affectional bond to your vacuum cleaner

I had one of those electroluxes up until 1992, but I had the retractable cord attachment.
