What are your dream machines yet to be found?
Penncrest cord reel upright, Hoover Encore convertible Limited Edition, Hoover Crosley,Denim Convertible, Hoover Elite 5.0 limited edition, any custom/limited edition eurekas, hoovers, etc.
What are your earliest and favorite vacuum memories?
used to be scared of my mothers old Hoover Dimension (she still has it to this day) because it was loud and she would store it in my closet in my bedroom. she also had a loud ass dirt devil stick vac that she gave away
What is the history of vacuum you have owned?
i mainly find them out to the curb, off of the internet like craiglist, facebook marketplace,eBay, mercari, etc. I will also get them from estate, moving, garage, auction, etc sales or flea markets, antique stores, junk stores, thrift/re stores, etc
Have you ever worked on, repaired and/or restored any vacuum cleaners?
mainly clean them. Learning to grease-lubricate-repack but rather doing cleaning. I usually have a local vacuum store grease bearings or do motor services or my good friend Chris or as @hoover28 on vacuumland will help me with servicing.
