Impressive Restorations OMG!!! is right! Let me echo Marty's sentiments. Your work is simply amazing. Those restored vacuums are stunning. Beautiful. Have you considered restoration as a second vocation? I bet there are some museums that would be interested in hiring you to do their restoration...

Congrats! I heard about the new Radiance with the pearl finish when I looked at Riccars a few months ago. Awesome! Riccar hasn't even updated their Web site to show this new model yet. I've been wanting a Radiance and may have to splurge. It's gorgeous.

it's going home with YOU! Oh goody! LOL... I'll bring my checkbook. (Seriously Greg, if you don't want it, I'll be happy to buy it from you.) At the rate I'm acquiring vacuums I'll need to move by October. (Morgan and Fred N., don't quote me on that. lol) This is getting serious. I'm going to...

Congrats on a fabulous find... Greg, I thought you were cutting back.. lol... she is purdy though and I can see how you couldn't resist. Again, congrats.

Sooo, Do you find it?? or Does it find you?? Chestermikeuk, I've been asking myself that very question. I've thoroughly enjoyed looking through the pictures of your collection over the past few months. Very impressive. And, boy can I relate to being a clearance sale addict in need of...

Oh Mary... Er.... I mean... Marty... Oops! :) I have to agree. Chestermikeuk's Electrolux is a beauty. Can we get a two for one?! Good grief. A few months ago when I discovered this group I had one vacuum. Now I have seven in my collection (yes, I know it's quite small in comparison to most)...

Looks kinda similar to the Solution.... It's the same vacuum. Marine Blue Velvet is the colour. I guess I was thinking of the Red Velvet Miele produces for the US market. My mistake. http://www.miele.co.uk/products/ProductList.aspx?range=Vacuum%20Cleaners

Seriously Cool Ad... Thanks for sharing. Fresh. Creative. Love it. And, those vacuums! 2200 Watts?! Wow! I'd love to check out the UK product line in person. Check out this Blue Velvet. Looks very cool.

Awesome collection Jeff! And, they all look absolutely pristine! Very impressive. Thanks for sharing. And, to echo Kyle's request. Do you have more complete sets?

Wow Rex! My hat is off to you. That's an impressive collection. I was lucky enough to try Ida's Red Velvet (and, yes, for those of you who haven't seen one, it does feel like velvet...). I'm tempted to get the Aquarius just because I love that retro turquoise color. Rex, do you recall what...

Splurge I say go for it Marty. You won't be disappointed. I strongly suggest that you get the SEB236 power nozzle too. It's amazing. Keep us posted. M.

Tom... You aren't kidding about how quickly a collection grows! Just a few months ago I had one vacuum. I now have 8!! Oh dear, where to put them all...

And, yes Fred... The list of vacuums that I want to add to my collection is growing very quickly. I guess I've caught the bug for sure!

Constellation86 and Fred N. Constellation86, Thanks for posting another wonderful instruction book. Fantastic!. Fred, That Model L, 1205 and buffer? are absolutely MINT. I mean they look absolutely pristine. How did I overlook them when I was in that room?! I guess I was so overwhelmed by...

Very cool... Terry, you can say that again. What a fantastic instruction book. I love the graphic design and information layout of those mid century brochures. Very fun. Nicholas, thanks for taking the time to scan all those pages and sharing with the group.

Pass the smelling salts... Congratulations on a great find. What a wonderful surprise. It's finds like these that give me hope that there are other great vintage vacuums still out there just waiting to be discovered.

Agnes... Very nice display. I love the color palate. I'm going to expose my ignorance here... What are the two vacuums displayed in the upper right corner of your wall? (It appears that one has a blue ribbon attached to it.) Are they Concept Ones? Alicia

Mint DAM Pete, I liked the fact that you put a question mark after the word mint. I'm very skeptical of ads that don't include at least one picture. And, as I'm sure you and many others have learned, the term "mint" is relative. I purchased a "mint" Western Electric Trimline phone off eBay to...

Travis... Great looking DAM. Thanks for sharing the video. Mike

Morgan... Splurge. You deserve it. Some of the retro colors are fabulous. I'd go for the S5 series with the new vortex motor. My favorites are the Aquarius and the Gemini. The SEB236 power nozzle is a must! The tools are very unimpressive; however, I'm trying to hunt down the old style dusting...
