I highly recommend buying a used step van and putting everything in there and parking it in your backyard or driveway. $200/mo for 12 months is $2,400, compounded over however many years. Could have bought several vans with that money and been storing it for free at home and not need to worry...

A collection - any collection - is like a prized rosebush. You need to prune it occasionally to keep it healthy and from being overgrown. You don't chop it down completely. I buy and sell vacuums all the time. I keep the rare stuff and my beloved Kirbies and antique Hoovers. I buy and restore...

well that is immensely ignorant and stupid. nothing in a barn is ever trash. it was saved for a reason and everything has value.

Amazing piece of history! This was made just during the time that people started phasing out horse cart vacuum cleaner services and started wanting to clean their own houses. Mainly in commercial residences. The big problem is usually the bellows fabric rots or gets moth holes and loses its...

Try and message Paul, he is our resident private investigator for old vacuum ads and literature! :cool:

As far as Aerus is concerned, Electrolux was already extinct.

Is that the RF interference suppressor that all those European vacuums had?

Definitely dig around in there, a lot of those commercial cleaning machines you would only ever see once in your lifetime, and can be very rare. You can also make big $$$ selling them. Commercial equipment always has a lucrative resale market because the new prices are extremely high for this...

Those brushes look fine. They do shed bristles here and there. They are just a little smashed from being stored on its bristles like that. Soak them in hot water and some enzymatic soap then tie some yarn and cardboard in a circle shape around the outside of the bristles to coax them back into...

Excellent find! Yes these were king of the totem back in their day, every bell and whistle you could want! I love those tinted plastic dust covers. I have the Hoover....Dimension? I think it was, the electronic canister model and it has a nice big plastic cover over the top side and it looks...

That would be how I'd look if I used that vacuum :eek: 🤣

I was shocked too. I thought the site was hacked or something and the domain got hijacked. Or that I was on the wrong website (there's several websites called "vacuumland"). Does anyone know what this is about by the way? lol

What in the world is this goofy thing? I have never heard of this! I can tell you it's a rebadged Sanyo vacuum that much is for sure.

This forum is not that busy and not social media, you're not going to get instant replies. What I can say they are there for is to deaden the rattle of metal on metal parts vibration, as well as to fill in a air gap and seal the suction path better.
