A Miele Cat and Dog vacuum cleaner (Allerton L18)
Gifted
A Miele Cat and Dog vacuum cleaner. It’s had a lot of use over the years and looks battered, this is largely cosmetic (i.e. scratches and paint marks). Some bits have broken, but it still functions well and has a good suck. The bits I’m aware are broken are (see photos): one of the slot things on the side, to store the hose upright the red bit inside, which holds the vacuum bag, has come detached (though this doesn’t affect the the way it cleans) the upholstery tool is cracked and has bits chipped off the end the “full bag” indicator doesn’t work that well. But you can see how full the bag is by opening the vacuum. It comes with: two large attachment ends an upholstery tool a dusting brush (the crevice tool is missing) six new filters I’ve just put in a fresh white filter, but it will need a new charcoal filter (the black honeycomb thing), as the one in it is very old. Also you’ll need to buy hoover bags.

I’m not sure what size battery they use, but it needs to be one where the positive end of the battery fits into the “button” on the glove pouch.

Bare rooted hyacinth bulbs (Allerton L18)
Gifted
Bare rooted hyacinth bulbs. They didn’t all flower this year and as they are quite old, the ones that did had small flowers (more like bluebells than hyacinths). Some of the bulbs are probably too small to flower. Most are blue, one is pink and I think three are white.

HP Photosmart C4380 printer (needs fixing) (Allerton L18)
Expired
This printer was working well until recently, but now the print is too faint to read (and it prints in blue, when black and white is selected). It looks to me as thought the print heads need cleaning, but the “clean print heads” option is greyed out. I’ve changed the ink cartridges recently, so I don’t think it’s a low ink problem. The printer is not usable in its current state, but if you want to have a go at cleaning the print heads manually, you know what the problem is and how to fix it, or you’d like it for spare parts, then it might be the printer for you.
