What are your earliest and favorite vacuum memories?

The purchase of a TriStar canister I called the silver pig. Salesman demonstrated it by putting me up to my neck in a bag and sucking out the air.

What is the history of vacuum you have owned?

The Electrolux was found at a Habitat for Humanity store.

The filter queen at a thrift store

The Sentria 1 at a thrift store

The Bissell I bought new.

Have you ever worked on, repaired and/or restored any vacuum cleaners?

The Kirby was basically just filthy and used without an inner bag.

The filter queen needed a new handle latch and filters.

The Electrolux required a new hose, a deep cleaning of the PN-4 nozzle, and a repair of the bag door.
