Not really afraid, more in fun that I hid in the vacuum cleaner closet thinking it would never find me there while it was in use. I loved small spaces and was not in the least claustrophobic.
No. By the time the vacuum cleaners really hit Indian markets, I was a brave old kid of the ripe age of 12.
I don't know about afraid but i was weary. On the other hand i was terrified and kinda still am of those street cleaning things with the round yellow brushes. I have no ideA why. I don't know it it's because I think that I might somehow get sucked up or what.
Nope. Viking vacuum cannister on chrome sled rod. I could ride it and it sounded like a jet and looked like a torpedo. Later versions had invented the wheels. and became more breadbox like or saucer like. Not as much noise or sparks coming out of the exhaust as now instead of being directed behind, it was blown down onto the floor. Not enough power for lift off.
if anything they feared me left bobby pins on the floor ALL the time
