Customer could infer that the cleaner was all-purpuse
The buyer wouldn't have to watch the vacuum perform every task to infer that it was a good vacuum cleaner. Such an inference might also be supported, for example, by the observation that the vacuum includes various attachments.
James Moor (1987).
