38. It makes a noise like it really means business. I feel like I can
clean faster and better. Remember feeling that way as a kid when you got a new pair of tennis shoes? I feel that way about this vacuum. Although, I must admit I was excited when my husband went out and came back with a lot of warranty papers...;)

48. You are welcome. I had the Hoover runabout and it was a killer
to push around. The motor died out a couple of days ago, so I was pretty sure this was what I getting. I just didn't know which kind. It really is a nice little vacuum. Plus it came with the cannister vacuum and a cordless iron. I just broke the iron by dropping it on the floor one too many times. :hi:

Probably one of those old coal-fired hoovers, huh?

My Mum used to have one of those. Not very effective, if I remember correctly.
