What are your earliest and favorite vacuum memories?
Vacuuming with my mothers blue Royal upright and also using my grandmothers Electrolux Olympia.
What is the history of vacuum you have owned?
I found my Tristar CXL in the trash in working condition, just really dirty and nasty. I cleaned it up and its become one of my daily drivers. I had a demo of the new Tri Star at the time and really wanted one but I wasnt about to pay a few thousand for a vacuum. So I started looking for used ones online and I think thats when I stumbled upon the VCCC.
Have you ever worked on, repaired and/or restored any vacuum cleaners?
Yes, mainly Kirbys.
