I don’t really have a Vacuum Collection, but my parents own a Royal model 8801AE Anniversary Edition from 1992. We had to replace the original dark green bag a few years ago but it still works like a charm!
Another vacuum cleaner I have is a little black and yellow canister vacuum by Eureka and a big orange and black wet-dry vac by Rigid.
What are your dream machines yet to be found?
Not sure yet.
What are your earliest and favorite vacuum memories?
Always seeing my mom using the Royal with the shiny chrome metal and dark green bag. Also, seeing her cart it up and down the stairs before she bought a canister vacuum for upstairs.
What is the history of vacuum you have owned?
My parents had it since 1992 (Royal model 8801AE Anniversary Edition - Dark Green bag). It went from Santa Barbara, California to Ventura, CA, then to Simi Valley, CA and it’s still there and still works! Unfortunately, the dark green bag had to be replaced with an ugly generic khaki colored one.
Have you ever worked on, repaired and/or restored any vacuum cleaners?
