Hi gang! Been a while since I uploaded a video. Life is busy but seeing as we all can't go anywhere I thought it would be good to make one for you.
Here's the terrible Goblin Housemaid for your viewing pleasure. This one even has the tools!
Enjoy :)

Dust won't hurt you as much as the cockroaches and mice that would come without vaccumming.

😂You guys had the Goblin and we Americans had The Regina Housekeeper, in my opinion it was one of the worst American made vacuum cleaners! 🇬🇧🇺🇸

@TheVintageApplianceEmporium 2 года назад

One of my biggest regrets is that 25 years ago I had the chance to acquire the pink Regina Housekeeper and let it slip through my fingers. Rare in America, ULTRA rare in the UK!!

This was fun. So, judging by the review, this is still longer lived and cleaned better than a Dyson.

@TheVintageApplianceEmporium 2 года назад

Haha yes I suppose so. But only if you don't use this one for 40 years XD

Just a note, though Goblin discontinued their own branded Housemaids in 83/84, they carried on for another 2 years badged as Spinney for Littlewoods catalogues. God, imagine in 1986 choosing between a Housemaid, a Hitachi Powerhouse and a Panasonic 40 series. Hmmm, decisions decisions.

Mad isn't it?! Ten years of that TERRIBLE range of cleaners lol. I'd love to have em all now but there's no chance of that. I'd estimate 99% of them are in landfill

Just GOBLIN all that dirt up. Lol Great job mate.

@rnbsteenstar 3 года назад

It did eat up the dirt for lack of suction.

A friend of my mother had one of these but was blue so am thinking it was 1970's one. Apart from being a bit on the cheap side it seems to have decent agitation on it.

@TheVintageApplianceEmporium 3 года назад

Yes that would have been one of the original machines from around 1976

i really want ibaisaics opinion on this one

@huskyvacs 3 года назад

I keep noticing in a lot of vacuum collector videos, they are also videogame collectors too. Me too. How does this work out? lol

@TheVintageApplianceEmporium 3 года назад

I think it's all about the 'Collecting Bug'. I could collect almost anything and become obsessive about it. Just need some self control. OK, a LOT of self control!!

@huskyvacs 3 года назад

I hear ya. I had to prune off a lot of my collections over the years and just focus on the ones that give me the most joy. Videoames are #1 on the tier, then Hot Wheels/diecast cars, then VHS tapes, then vacuums. Exit signs are just a small side collection I stopped collecting for in 2012, and I add to whenever I come across one and never actually hunt them out. I don't want to get rid of them because that's how I learned electrical work and electrical repairs. Same with my cell phone collection, I learned electronics repair with them, and a lot of the ones I have you don;t see show up on eBay anymore much at all. I used to collect flashlights too but I got out of it.

@UnregisteredSkeptic 3 года назад

Lol same for me. I love vacuums, cassette/tape technology, tornado sirens, and old ads.

@vacuumlover1 4 года назад

I wonder how they got by with Oreck not noticing. That’s how Regina got shut down with making the brush-n-beat

@heeheeriah Год назад

Oreck weren't in the market themselves at the time, furthermore many machines in the UK resembled this one

So everyone's on lockdown? I'm from the US, no high school going on, I'm in my senior year, hope I graduate!! Anyway, this may be the worst one, but it looks cool to me.

@Adam-jf6gs 4 года назад

You can tell it looks cheap but in fairness it didn't do a bad job. It is no worse than some of early Tiny Goblin cylinder.

@neilmansfield8329 3 года назад

This vacuum cleaner is good

@Dankcatvacs 4 года назад

hey it works just needs the gaskets replacred

@TheVintageApplianceEmporium 4 года назад

It doesn't have any gaskets in the design, that's part of the problem!

@huskyvacs 3 года назад

I wonder if there was a rubber shortage/strike in 82/83 in England? They had to know they were making a pile of crap and just didn't care.

@braedynbirch8799 4 года назад

In the USA we had that one but it was under the singer brand

@TheVintageApplianceEmporium 4 года назад

No way! Do you know what the model number was?

@braedynbirch8799 4 года назад

I am sorry I don't know what the model number is but I will look in to it

@YoumuHoover 3 года назад

We never got these in the us. (glad we didn't) The only goblin design machine we got was the Shop Vac Mighty Mini which is the american version of the Rio.
