What are your earliest and favorite vacuum memories?
Following the cleaning lady around when she used our Hoover Convertible!
Asking for a toy vacuum cleaner for Christmas at 2 y/o, then being disappointed that it didnt come with a power cord. My dad added one for me, and the machine was then complete!
What is the history of vacuum you have owned?
-Many, many. My collection of uprights and canisters peaked at over 100 in my late teens before my interest shifted to large residential and commercial built-in vacuum cleaners. I held onto or acquired only my favorites...which is still quite a few!
Have you ever worked on, repaired and/or restored any vacuum cleaners?
