Montgomery Wards vacuums made by Hoover & Eureka.
What are your earliest and favorite vacuum memories?
When i was a little kid, my mom used to have a dirt devil can vac, dirt devil swivel glide vision, hoover wet dry vac, ridgid wet dry vac, and a bissell cleanview.
I also used to have 2 red toy dirt devils, a toy Hoover windtunnel, and a Eureka The Boss rechargeable stick vacuum. (Really wish I still have it.)
And my Aunt Angela used to have a Hoover Breathe Easy Widepath that I used to be scared of when I was 4 years old.
What is the history of vacuum you have owned?
Ive been collecting vacuums for about 12 yrs.
Have you ever worked on, repaired and/or restored any vacuum cleaners?
I polished my 4 vintage kirbys before
Replace the fan on my Hoover Convertible High Performance, Kirby Heritage II, G3, Classic III
Cleaned up Convertible vinyl bag, hoods and DAM Power Drive
Place in a good used motor on my Dial a Matic 1149 with a new gasket that now works and has suction
Placed a new handle spring for my Kirby Classic III
Placed in new carbon brushes for my Kirby Classic Omega
