What are your earliest and favorite vacuum memories?
Started collecting in the early 90s, when Early Hoovers were £1-£5. Wish I had kept them all.
What is the history of vacuum you have owned?
Owned my 700s, 725, 750s and 800s for 30 years. My 450, 575, 875 and 262 have just been released from a junk dealers attic after 35 years.
Have you ever worked on, repaired and/or restored any vacuum cleaners?
