Summary
| Description |
English: "The baby daisy was a manual powered device so there was no need for electricity or fear of electrocution. The Baby Daisy required two people to operate it. The first person provided the power by standing on the base of the bellows and moving it back a forth with the aid of a broomstick in the holder on the front.
This movement was a key design feature as it has a double connected bellows, meaning that movement in either direction created a vacuum. The second operator would use the attached hose to clean the house. Dust and dirt was collected in a cotton bag within the machine. While the vacuum required two people to operate and had limited suction power, it was far better than using a broom to clean dust and dirt from carpets and rugs."

Es waren also zwei Personen nötig. Eine, die die Bälge bewegte und eine zum eigentlichen saugen. |
