WEll, I always loved vacuums and been very interested from the time when I was really young. Well, I own a Kirby Heritage ii that I am very grateful for, and know its the best, and you cant get any better. I also trust in my Kirby, and don't trust much other brands, and believe they are poorly made and not great quality. But I also own a Hoover Air Steelable which honestly is not that bad, better than a dyson and many others, and its a good one but needs some major improvements if you get me, like direct flow which it does not have.and I also have a small Handheld Royal vacuum which is not bad either but does not compare with the Kirby.
What are your dream machines yet to be found?
Well, one of my dreams regarded to vacuums, is to really own a Kirby Duel Sanitronic 80. Really desire one. But having the one Kirby is truly a blessing in my home, and has in fact saved me from sickness which is beyond awesome of its incredible power.
What are your earliest and favorite vacuum memories?
Oh gosh, I don't know if you want to know this one, even if you are a vacuum freak like myself and find great interest in vacuums as usually men who find their machines as toys. But fine I will tell it.
But to just let you know, this is a vacuum memory that is very weird and yes its very funny but its also embarrassing even me thinking of it I am thinking to myself: "What did I do that?,Oh my gosh! That's too far, Why?!, Why?". but I was really young when it happened.
So here's the story:
Well, when I was the age of 11 approximately and younger I always been obsessed with the vacuums that in the age of 11, I slept with a vacuum cleaner in my bed!. and I even cuddled with it!.
And the vacuum I believe it was a vintage hoover with a white outer bag.
And that's not the end of the story.
Well, it continues that the Vacuum fell out of bed and my parents at that time thought it was me felling out of bed with the huge noise they heard but found out it was only the vacuum that fell out of bed and not me.
What is the history of vacuum you have owned?
Besides the hoover vacuum, we owned a Eureka Mighty mite but I threw it out, being a very good vacuum expert regarded to health hazards and where the vacuum did not have good filtration with some tests I did on it. But did not want that vacuum in the house cause I considered it a health hazard to me and my family.
Well, my dad's mom's place twenty years ago had a black Hoover that was old but don't know what model it was. That I played with when I went over sometimes.
Have you ever worked on, repaired and/or restored any vacuum cleaners?
Yes, I only worked on my Kirby Heritage ii, not like anything was wrong with it. But really desired to update it with a new red cord, a new brush roll, a extra cord holder, a light bulb in it, a new belt est. Polished the Kirby heritage 2, and washed the outer bag and now it looks great but still have some bad marks on it but it works excellent.
And yes I nickname my Kirby heritage 2 Carpet eater!, cause many times it sucks up my carpets and even to the point it got stuck in the vacuum with the incredible suction and strength.
