What are your earliest and favorite vacuum memories?
As a toddler, I noticed that our reddish Hoover upright was always asking for more. After all, when you turned it on, it said "MORRRRRRRRRRRRR..."
OTOH, I think our Shetland "electric broom" would say "ShuhlayAYYYYYYYYY..." when powered up.
Have you ever worked on, repaired and/or restored any vacuum cleaners?
