I have quite a lot of vacuums, such as a Hoover Decade 80, a Decade 80 Guardsmen, a few Elites here and there, I even own a Platinum WindTunnel. I own a Eureka Bravo, two Oreck XL's, including a commercial one, an Electrolux upright vacuum (commercial like), a Royal Heavy Duty commercial, and the list goes on.
What are your dream machines yet to be found?
A Hoover Concept One, Two, and Three, Eureka Bravo 2, Eureka Bravo Powerline, Hoover Model 28, Hoover Model 150, Kenmore Progressive, Hoover Empower, Hoover Foldaway, Hoover WindTunnel (any of them), Sanitaire F&G, Eureka Heavy Duty (which is basically a Sanitaire in disguise), and a Hoover Constellation.
What are your earliest and favorite vacuum memories?
I can remember how I started liking vacuums when I was two years old about twenty years ago. I remember when one of my grandma's cousins gave me a Hoover book that showcased all these different Hoover models, such as commercial vacuums, Elites, and canisters, and it even had shop vacs, too. I can also remember going to the Hoover Historical Center when I was three years old. I have that visit on home video.
What is the history of vacuum you have owned?
I have owned a lot of vacuums over the past 20 years. I've been collecting them since I was about six.
Have you ever worked on, repaired and/or restored any vacuum cleaners?
