honestly, I am here to see if anyone wants to buy a Singer R-1 that is part of my mom's estate. Google lens led me to this website. I could not believe my eyes when I saw someone posting that they were looking for one and had posted a photo. This website is my introduction to vacuum collectors. You are amazing. I never appreciated this old vacuum until I saw videos of people using them and expounding on their quality. thanks for expanding my world.
What are your earliest and favorite vacuum memories?
It's a weird memory but when my son was small I didn't realize he had sensory processing disorder. He would be very distressed when I vacuumed due to the noise. He learned how to shut the vacuume off when I was using it. The only problem was that the switch was breaking and it would take me many tries to get it back on. We finally learned that he needed to stay in another room away from the roar.
