What are your dream machines yet to be found?
I love my Rainbows! Really looking for a Model A.
What are your earliest and favorite vacuum memories?
My mom use to own a very unique Electrolux. I loved how it worked, and how it was quiet. I was drawn into how clean the floors were, and how easy it was to use. I can’t remember the model exactly. She told me how “the wall mounted vacuum never worked” and she bought it for a whole $5 back in 2004 when she bought the new house back then.

Have you ever worked on, repaired and/or restored any vacuum cleaners?
Yes, but not enough to consider myself a professional.
