Current Vacuum collection
It all started with the Diamond Edition Ultimate G by Kirby. My grandmother bought it new from a door-to-door salesman with all the attachments. However, it got lost in a foreclosure. Since then, I had been using Bissell, Hoover and the like. Until, I found my Kirby Heritage being thrown away. I picked it up, cleaned it, restored it and purchased all attachments (aside from the Handi-Butler group) for it. I since then have been restoring friends' Kirby's for them. I have thus far done two G4's and a Heritage II/Legend.
What are your dream machines yet to be found?
I have a fondness for the Kirby Classic Omega. Just such a beautiful vacuum.
What are your earliest and favorite vacuum memories?
My most fond memories are of using our old Diamond Edition. I hope to aquire one again to use as the daily driver.
What is the history of vacuum you have owned?
In order, Eureka, Bissell, Diamond Edition, Bissell, Bissell, Hoover, Heritage.
Have you ever worked on, repaired and/or restored any vacuum cleaners?
Heritage, multiple Bissell models, multiple Hoover models, 2 G4's, a Heritage II, and my Heritage Daily driver.
