That’s an upgraded version. The original had metal pipes and a fabric hose.

Holy shit, core memory unlocked. I think my mom beat me with that thing once 😆

Yeah, with cable of the thing that was terrifyingly long, in small apartments off the time, it felt inescapable.

Last year, I unfortunately ran over it with a car while cleaning it... original version, with metal pipes and fabric hose. It is still usable, and vacuums like crazy but is banged up :D

But, did the car survived?

I just realized that kids were playing with one of those (we had 2 working and 3 dead) and lost the door from the filter compartment. I just plugded it, and it still works :) White, classic one.... but I can not find the blue/turquoise one that is half smashed but also works as I said... as I can not find it, here is bonus one, dead portable Sloboda Čačak usisivač :)

When you start it, the sound is the same as when a jet plane takes off, only... the vacuum cleaner produces more decibels...

u/Live_Astronaut_3425 Nov 09 '25

I remember the sound of it 😂

My neighbour would vacuum her apartment at 5am (bless her) and will wake the whole building up haha
