After a two-year hiatus from this site, my interest in vacuums has been reignited; that and the fact that I hope certain people on this site have hopefully matured (or left)! Fortunately, I was never in any direct altercations with them but read their "contributions" to the forum and decided they brought all the drama upon themselves!
As of now I have only a fraction of what I had a few years ago - most of it was given away by my mother who donated 50+ of my machines to charity after I didn’t take them from her finished basement.
The majority of the machines I had a few years ago that weren’t in storage at my mom’s (and subsequently sold) were sold by me over the past two years since 2015 when I was last here, so I’m basically starting from scratch!
I doubt I will have the collection I once had, and don’t really have the desire for everything I had before (nor the amount), but these few machines are a few of the ones I’ve loved and that’s what matters most!
