2026-05-10 Miele HX1 Vacuum

A Miele HX1 stick vacuum. It was a little grubby and needed a lot of cleaning around the floowbrush etc. It charges and runs fine the but there is structural damage in the mechanism that clips the dirt bin to the handle.

We may try to replace a couple of parts to make this a complete usable machine.

A random Marin mountain bike is neglected but good condition. Air in the tyres and some oil here and there and it is good to go.

There is always demand for sets of dining chairs appaerently, and these will go to meet some of that.
