What are your earliest and favorite vacuum memories?

I remember being scared of my grandparents filter queen majestic 360 then deciding to go up to it and use it. Then my fear of vacuums was cured ( I was 2 at the time).

What is the history of vacuum you have owned?

I have still got pretty much all of the vacuums I have ever got.

Have you ever worked on, repaired and/or restored any vacuum cleaners?

I regularly do this type of thing, although the first and second vacuums it fully took apart are a hoover u1346a and a 612.
