What are your earliest and favorite vacuum memories?
Checking out the closets of my parents friends to see what kind of vacuum they had. On one occassion my mom took me to visit a friend that had just purchased a Rainbow D. After demonstrating it they went to the kitchen for coffee. I stayed behind to check out the vacuum, undid one of the latches and couldnt get it latched again so I just left it but didnt tell anyone. The next day my mom got a phone call from the woman saying she lifted up the vac, the water pan fell off and dumped all over the floor. They wondered if I had anything to do with it.
