My collection is all new, current vacuum cleaners. Some have been recently discontinued, but most in my collection are still available for purchase. I only buy vintage or older Vacuums on a whim and usually only to refurbish them and then donate them back.
What are your dream machines yet to be found?
All Mint or as clean as possible: Dirt Devil Ultra MVP, Hoover Z700, Electrolux Intensity Upright, Dirt Devil Roommate, Dyson DC03 translucent blue, Dyson DC18 Slim.
What are your earliest and favorite vacuum memories?
Playing with my Moms Hoover Convertible vacuum and my grandmas Kirby at age 5 or 6. I’ve Loved vacuum cleaners ever since.
What is the history of vacuum you have owned?
I have owned every name brand vacuum sold in the USA, the only brands I’ve never purchased yet are the water filtration machines, no reason just haven’t made the jump yet.
Have you ever worked on, repaired and/or restored any vacuum cleaners?
Yes, to this day I will rescue Vacuums from the Goodwill store or the VOA and clean them up spotless, repair and replace any broken or missing parts, then I return them so someone else can benefit from it.. paying it forward with vacuum cleaners.
