R2D2? Nah, just one of the most cherished items in my house. This baby, is still running on its original motor! In case you've never seen a vac like this; this is a 1970's model RAINBOW Vacuum Cleaner. If I bought a new one today, it would cost me $2,500.00!
When I was a little girl, my Mom scheduled an appointment with this local vacuum sales rep. I remember sitting on a chair while he demonstrated its 'magic' by vacuuming our red carpet (Yes, it was red!), and showing us the ghastly results in its curious little water compartment.
I remember this like it was yesterday. Not so much because of the amazing vacuum, but rather because the nice gentleman needed to use our bathroom, and to my mother's dismay, I had previously 'failed to flush' and left the pleasantries on display!
Needless to say, my backside paid the price of her embarrassment!
Mom bought a Rainbow that day. I'm not sure if it was because of the vacuum's magic, or mine!
This is definitely the one household item that is the most beneficial for our home. Ever since my Mom gave it to me a year ago, I have seen a remarkable difference in my carpets, and less allergies too.
I don't know what I'm going to do when it finally croaks. For now, I will just enjoy. Maybe I'll go polish her chrome and woodwork....

I’ve been surfing online more than three hours today, yet I never found any interesting article like yours. It’s pretty worth enough for me. In my opinion, if all webmasters and bloggers made good content as you did, the web will be a lot more useful than ever before. PalandSmith
