What are your earliest and favorite vacuum memories?
Their noise would scare me but when I took control of them I would play with them. theyve been a hobby of mine ever since.
What is the history of vacuum you have owned?
It could have been a hoover 1060.(I remember it was a hoover and it had a dark brown handle and bag but the model # eludes me.) to start with. i also aquired a eureka 1400 series, a hoover u4085 I had in grade school I wish I never parted with, the list goes on.
Have you ever worked on, repaired and/or restored any vacuum cleaners?
