Humpday Triviola
A household appliance was conceptually re-designed in 1978 after the maker took note of a machine at a woodworking mill while getting materials for renovating his house.
What is the appliance and who is the maker?

Geez, I figured you brainiacs would have gotten this one by now. Looks like I'll have to resort to a hint.
The appliance developer lives in the UK.

#4Ok Wag time
It's lunch time at work. What might I find in a wood mill that might be like something that is considered an appliance? Don't laugh now. Some kind of hammer mill to make wood chips from scrap and translate that into a garbage disposal. Like I said, please don't laugh, or at least not to loudly

That's not really a bad guess. Wrong, but never the less a good guess!
Keep workin' on it. I'm about to log off for the day so we'll pick up where we left off in the morning.

Not a WAG or any other kind
I guess we're having leftovers on Thursday.

Would that be the funky-looking grey and yellow plastic bagless model that uses multiple cyclones as its dust separator?

#10We Have a Winnah!!
Jerry was first in to win the famed Humpday Golden Uni. The answer is the bagless vacuum invented by James Dyson. Dyson's concept came to him after seeing a large cyclone dust collector at a woodworking mill. He adapted the same cyclonic design at a small scale for his vacuums.
Well done!
