What are your dream machines yet to be found?
Regina HB5639 stick
A "good" bagless. I tend to toss them when it's time to clean them out ... except for my robots, they've been named as any proper robot should.
What are your earliest and favorite vacuum memories?
about 4yo, aunt brought over vacuum to clean the carpet in moms sewing room and my jaw dropped ... I had no idea such a tool existed ... clean floors were in my blood from that day forward
What is the history of vacuum you have owned?
I've worked on all of them myself. Many are acquired from the vac shop which I am currently employed. Most are pieced together over time from discarded units using whatever works; I am not opposed to making substitutions for the sake of saving a good machine or even making it better!
Have you ever worked on, repaired and/or restored any vacuum cleaners?
