She definitely looked a gift horse in the mouth, ZZzzz.

Why didn't she just say she'd borrow it until she bought one?

I would of thought she would be grateful for your offer, I relied on gifts when we first moved into this house as we had nothing at all except our clothes

RTR. She doesn’t have one, we are giving this one to her she so unless I’m missing a point I don’t see what the problem is.

LG she most certainly is not well off and shouldn’t be so fussy, it works and is not ancient.

My son has a robot cleaner ... it does quite a good job but his cat hates it.
We have an ancient Dyson but it still works.
I had to find out how it works during the lockdown.

Given the space they take up and potential for disaster I don't think many people would give a homeless vacuum cleaner an always home.

We inherited two vacuum cleaners and given one by someone who has migrated to another country, I asked my friend if she wanted if she wanted one of them, well what she wanted to know, lots of things about it over the phone, I know nothing about any of them only the make, I told her not to look a gift horse in the mouth and she hung up. Ok rant over thank you for reading this.
