What are your earliest and favorite vacuum memories?
As a kid, I watched my mom vacuum with a Fantom Fury in my old apartment with dark brown carpet and 3 cats.

She used a Eureka ESP Ultra vacuum to clean out the fireplace in my old apartment. It had a hose that clamped onto the bottom for attachment use.

Anytime she cleaned with the attachments, I would always hold the vacuums handle to prevent it from falling over. We did this with a Dirt Devil and a Bissell.

When I was in 5th grade (2005), I was NUTS about vacuums. I would ask my teachers what kinds of vacuums they had, and they would tell me and even bring in pictures, manuals, etc. of them. Ironically, I never actually vacuumed back then because I was afraid of the noise. I overcame that fear in early 2008, shortly after a new Dyson entered my home.

And around the same time, I remember asking to go to the vacuum aisle anytime we went to any store.

Have you ever worked on, repaired and/or restored any vacuum cleaners?
Yes, I usually take them apart, clean them up really well and perform general maintenance as needed (cleaning filters, changing belts, etc.)
