There I was, vacuuming the caravan carpet, so that it would be all clean and tidy for next weekend’s rally at Paekakariki. As I stepped outside to shake the mat, the cleaner’s engine started slowing down and sounded quite sick indeed. A quick flick of the wrists to shake the mat and I stepped back inside. To find smoke billowing out of the cleaner and the smoke alarm loudly calling out “danger, danger”. Oh dear! I quickly unplugged” the cleaner and dragged it outside. As quick as a wink, the caravan had filled with smoke. It just goes to show how quickly an appliance can short circuit and cause a fire.
The Electrolux cleaner is well over 20 years old, so we have certainly got our money’s worth out of it. Guess we will have to go shopping and buy a new one now.
