At this time I have a Kirby Heritage(1985?), a GE V11C3 canister (1965), and a relatively recent kenmore wet/dry vac. We recently (2018) a Shark brand vacuum.
What are your earliest and favorite vacuum memories?
Parent's brown Hoover upright, circa late 1950s.
What is the history of vacuum you have owned?
The GE canister was my grandmother's. I have used it as our "downstairs" vacuum.
Have you ever worked on, repaired and/or restored any vacuum cleaners?
I have worked on many types of vacuums, as well as about any type of appliance. I have repaired many vacuums that have been discarded by neighbors, and those belonging to my church.
