Description
Not long ago I found this battery-powered vacuum when I was looking for lewt in the attic. I think my grandma ordered it with some bonus-card points but never used it. When I tried it I noticed that it had a lot of POWAH for such a small vacuum, which of course meant that it was an ARNOLD vacuum!
I wasn't satisfied, though, because the vacuum looked extremely gay with its light blue case, this is not arnold worthy! To change that I bought a spray can and spray painted the case black. Now it's a true ARNOLD vacuum! |
 | The vacuum before I modded it. The transparent blue dust container looks pretty cool, the light blue case doesn't. |
 | A picture of Arnold printed with a laser printer, the double-sided tape is also ready. |
 | Arnold was taped to the front so he's visible well. |
 | The cross-section of the case. On the right there's the electric motor with a radial fan, the battery pack consists of 4 1.2V NiCd cells. On top there are the buttons for turning on the motor and for opening the dust container. |
 | This cheap circuit controls the vacuum. On the right a black switch which turns on the vacuum. The LED shows if the vacuum is being charged, the resistors are probably part of it, too. |
 | The case was completely disassembled and grinded with sanding paper (800) so the spray paint will stick to it later. You can see that the parts have a less shiny look now. |
 | The parts after spray painting the first layer. They're not 100% covered yet. |
 | Finished painting and reassembled, now the vacuum looks a lot better, doesn't it? It deserves the ARNOLD now! |

| The more Arnolds the better! |
