    When the Electrolux man services more than the vacuum cleaner

    My service guy was still door to door back in 94. Sales and pick up and drop off for service.

    Letting go, letting go, letting go...

    So sorry Charles, I didn't know. Very well understand after my last year, giving up my 2 bedroom apartment of 43 years and now probably moving out of state soon, so thinning again.😭. Best of luck, not fun.

    Does anyone have those days they just want to get done and not fiddle with the vacuum?

    Feeling better today, maybe digging it out of storage got to me? I did find a new box of Perfect HEPA bags, I'm calling that one a win! I do very much. Enjoy the sound, the feel, the power and the things I can do with it. But it often gives me a setback. A 15 minute quick clean turns into 2...

    Picking out a vac!

    As I'm older, the only memories I have of going to the store to pick out a vacuum was for myself! The compact was here in 59 and I'm a 56 model so I don't really remember much before that.

    Does anyone have those days they just want to get done and not fiddle with the vacuum?

    I can understand that! My heritage too is not self-propelled and I can feel like I'm doing fine with it, it clamps down on the carpet and my back is done for the day. Maybe the next one too. Dug out an old favorite today and put on some music. Happy times! But yeah the back is screaming...

    Don't feel bad, my V15 gets used twice a day,3 cats and their boxes plus much pecan floors. Works out the others once a week. Just too difficult here, back hurts.

    The first thing that came to my mind, was are you being served?

    I found a Mighty Mite!

    Nice little vacs, I believe I was told that these used an upright vacuum motor?

    dream vac in the thrift

    I have the same little prince,sweet running little guy! Edgar, I purchased the paper bags and I don't care for the reduced airflow. Sorry I know I almost always agree with you.

    what is your favorite vacuum in your collection?

    Well as usual, I tend to agree with Edgar a bit, my neighbor had a 1205, My first experience with a power nozzle so I looked for one of those for years when I could and ended up with a Silverado. But it's really a tie between that and my Kirby heritage two

    Must get rid of my collection

    Sorry to hear about your circumstances, I just moved in with my partner after 2 years, giving up my apartment of 43 years! Much storage, down to very little. 8 finds went immediately,3 came with me to our place and the rest in storage 🤞🤞. He does understand. Good luck.
