What are your earliest and favorite vacuum memories?
Feeding the QAS60 candy wrappers with my grandma, and using my parent’s Eureka victory. I also really liked using the ‘97 Oreck XL upright and Dustbuster that my granny had (and still has). The closet under the stairs in her old house was a vacuum graveyard. I don’t remember much about what was there, but I remember a yellow eureka stick-vac, and an Electrolux super J that lived in the garage. I also remember being fascinated by the space-age styling of the ‘Lux model G that I had noticed sitting on a shelf in the warehouse of a family friend (they eventually ended up giving it to me).
What is the history of vacuum you have owned?
A 1997-ish Eureka the boss Victory (4335)
A bissel hand vac of some sort
A bissel little green machine
