Vacuums Plus
“A space entirely devoid of matter,” reads the
definition for “vacuum,” but VP is not devoid of
anything. This supermarket of residential and
commercial vacuum cleaners carries products
from Electrolux, Rowenta and Samsung. The
pièce de résistance, though, is an ode to
German-engineered innovation: the entire
wall dedicated to Miele’s crowd-pleasing
sucker-uppers. Just in: Dyson’s cord-free
vacuums which make the prospect of cleaning
much more appealing. 101 SPADINA AVE 647

LED-powered marquee signs to the large
copper-framed Bristol pendant. For those who
like their vintage in bulk, there are shelves
of cocktail glassware at the back, plus bins of
coat hooks and cabinet knobs. 120 OSSINGTON
