Like in the UK you don't say you are going to vacuum your house (unless you
are trying to sound posh), you get the Hoover out, even it is made by
someone else. The exception to this is Dyson, people actually call it a
Dyson.





Even worse, if you are going to 'vacuum' your house, how will you live in it ?
How do you seal the doors and windows to keep that vacuum in ? :-)


If you hear the Dutch word for Hoover/vacuum cleaner: (translated) Dust-Sucker... Ah well..
But everybody calls it just that.. ('stofzuiger' that is...)


And for Dyson.. ahem.. Well it isn't a vacuum cleaner so why call it one... ;-)
