Vacuum Cleaners
We have four.
One lives in my backyard shed, for cleanups and dust collection.
One lives in my garage, for cleaning the cars.
Our house is split level, so we have one for upstairs and another one for downstairs. All to save carrying it up and down the six steps that divide the front and back of the house. These two are the same make and model.
One I haven’t seen mentioned yet is Marius Hornberger. Awesomely talented young German maker.
The YouTube channel The Tim Traveller has covered a few (along with a bunch of other esoteric sights, I really enjoy his stuff).
Mine was similar. As a teenager I used to make sandwiches as you describe with instant coffee granules instead of sugar. The granules would dissolve into the butter to form a brown caffeinated sludge. Yummo!
I’m retired, so yeah, time off work isn’t an issue. We get away pretty regularly, domestically and internationally. I guess about two months a year, in aggregate, on average?
