WOW John RE Hoover dirt Searcher Well you would think after 400 hoovers but who is counting ?.... you would have a Hoover dirtsearcher. I am fortunate enough to have a brand spanking new Hoover dirt searcher dated April 1978 in mauve. When i saw it my heart skipped a beat and I just had to...

Welcome to vacuumland.org From one member to another- Well I am not residing in England however from English descent. Hope you find a lot of English collectors, that welcome you well and warm hearted and share with you the industry for the sake of the leanage of the Hoover brand. My...

TEDELEX Yeah I was wondering where these 2 machines landed up. and how strange it is the more one has the more you WANT WANT WANT. Not allowing the sun shine over another collectors head.

Can someone tell me why my post was removed? Are we not having a democratic approach in this discussion and may views and experiences of others not be valuable to the collector out there that may act as warning to avoid the same situation? Are the people whom instigate such behavior being...

Why are vacuum cleaner collectors so untrustworthy????????? After a posting on Facebook I contacted a South African Vacuum cleaner Collector from Kempton Park, whom was down sizing his collection.He whatsappéd the pictures of the machines to me that was availible. I specifically indicated to...

Congratulations!!!!!!!! WOW- You are extremely fortunate. Such a beautiful machine with the chrome handle, hence the red bag with black block motive/lines!!!! A trip down memory lane. In South Africa we had the exact range, under the umbrella of TEDELEX made in Western Germany. The small...

Deepest Condolences- My deepest sympathy goes out to his family and friends. It truly is a huge loss for someone as empathetic and dedicated to others to pass on, He will still live on, in the memories of fellow collectors who he touched in his lifetime. May God be with his family and...

That is interesting- Hey there- Yes please show us what you got from the man in Pretoria?

Agree- The dimensions make me slightly unsure, however I agree with the previous post. It is a coupling that you convert your Hoover into a blower by removing the paper dust bag, attaching it to the filling tube, hence attaching the hose and Bob's your uncle. This patent was more common...

Thank you very much. The history really intrigues me too. To my knowledge, there is no machines I am aware off, made in South-Africa. As far as the Origin of the Singer sewing machine go, Most of the old black Hand crank Singers and treadle machines, were made in Britain,England. The Singer...

Sewing machine collection and vacuum cleaner collection Wow, this truly is striking a cord so close to home. In addition to my collection of approximately 150 vacuum cleaners, I also have a modest collection of sewing machines. Both my grandmothers were fashion designers and made the most...

So Sad Too Bad. It appears that the culture of backstabbing, lying, and conflict, comes forward in many vacuum cleaner collectors. Sorry to admit that I am a vacuum cleaner collector, I had an experience with a fellow collector, where I sent him machines amongst an extremely rare Hoover 262...

Mazeltov- Just standing in admiration. Dear John- (The Hoover guy) from Pennsylvania- Looking at your posts, I am quite amused by the fact that we as vacuum cleaner collectors also treasure the fine art or appreciation of antique furniture. Your collection of Victorian style and hand carved...
