What are your earliest and favorite vacuum memories?
Family machines mostly. My Dads parents had an Electrolux 610 and a Goblin AquaVac, Mums parents had a yellow Hoover Junior Deluxe and later a Hoover Turbopower U2798. My Nana (Grandmas Mum on Dads side) had a Hoover High Power Compact and my Great Grandma (Grandads Mum on Dads side) had a Hoover 1334E, an Electrolux 506 and the first white Electrolux Glider. My Aunty Lynne had a Kirby Tradition. Uncle Gary had a Goblin Laser and later a Hoover Turbopower U1060. My Godparents had a Hoover Turbopower U2332 and a Vax 2000. My childminder had a Hoover Turbopower Junior U1220, then a Hitachi CV760D. I could also probably tell you all the vacuums on our street when I was little too.
