or the now defunct.

Ensign Stealth 1.Ensign Stealth 2.

You can see below, that these are all in the same family.. Here’s an Ensign Sensor 300.. Here’s the slightly wider Diversey Ensign SM2..The machines above are pre-2017 machines.The models had to be tweaked when the EU forced the 900w vacuum ban on the UK.

Here’s a video the BBC did in our shop on the subject.. After that, the design had to change a little.. Here’s a Taski Ensign Sensor 310.. Here’s its slightly wider brother the Taski Ensign Sensor 370.. Let’s discuss the heritage of the machines themselves.In the UK you buy these machines badged as Diversey, Taski or Ensign models.

They sell two basic designs, a 30-31cm wide one (300, Sensor 310, SM1, Stealth 1) and a slightly wider 36-37cm one (SM2, Stealth 2, Sensor 370)..

They are not made by Diversey, Taski or Ensign though, they are actually made by Stein & Co in Germany.One of the reasons we loved the Bull’s Head so much is we’re local people.

The Bull’s Head is an iconic building in Reddish that all we locals have memories of.We’ll miss being in the Bull’s Head..

I lived in Reddish most of my life, I went to Reddish Vale School many years ago, and even as a child, my parents had a business in Reddish..If you are old enough to remember that shop above looking like that, that was us too.
