I signed up for a new Facebook group about The history and memories of Marshall Field’s Department Store in Chicago. I have many years of history and memories from going downtown Chicago at Christmastime with Mom to walking 2 blocks away from my first real job at the First National Bank of...

Never thought I’d see this day but probably due to its new owners. It will be interesting to see how this progresses. https://www.kirby.com/shop/kirby-avalir-2-vacuum/

In reducing my collection I gave a Lux 1205 to a friend with attachments and a PN2. I didn’t have a good electric hose to go with it so he ordered an aftermarket electric hose from EBay. The hose is now jammed in the machine and cannot be removed. Has anyone come across this problem before...

Someone posted today on the Contemporary Forum of the changes on the Aerus site. No more vacuum cleaners. I was disappointed that they no longer show vacuums for sale. I should have suspected something when the longtime Electrolux guy who sold me a pigtail hose was pushing the air filters. If...

With all this talk about Electroluxes I dug out my Renaissance. This is the newest Lux I have owned. It was a gift from my partner for Christmas in 1994. I remember seeing it advertised in a magazine which Lux generally never did due to its marketing model of door-to-door sales and, of course...

Since I am isolating under California guidelines and have gone through my collection with Charles Lester I have renewed my interest in vintage Electroluxes. I have now owned every Lux since the XXX. BTW I did keep a pristine XXX for my collection. The last machine I bought new was a...

I am finally emptying my storage unit after 4 years in Palm Springs. I have a number of nice generally complete and original machines available for pick up here. Anyone who knows me knows that my machines are not junk. You can check out my collection pictures...

Has passed away at 104. She was quite a lady and supporter of many charitable causes including the gay community. Here is a picture of her with a group of us at a Center On Halsted function in Chicago a few years ago. Miriam Ulbinen was the housekeeper of the late Howard Earl Hoover, Sr...

Greetings from Palm Springs. Well I never thought I would entertain the idea of having a robot vacuum. I thought that they just couldn’t clean as well as a regular vacuum. When in Omaha for Thanksgiving Greg Nunn just had to have one and picked it up at Nebraska Furniture Mart. And I became a...

One of the NIB Kirby Vacuums from Tania and my hunts in Chicago.  Time to go.  Low Reserve. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hardly-Used-Kirby-Tradition-Vacuum-Cleaner-/232317741530?hash=item36173769da:g:7ZIAAOSwX61ZBNiy

Downsizing again. Check out my listing for a like-new 1965 Canadian Electrolux Model 88 with all accessories. http://www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?34276_

From the home of a vacuum collector. This is a beautiful Canadian Electrolux Model 88 vacuum cleaner. The original owner either didn’t use it or was meticulous about maintaining it. It has literally no scratches and the hose is like new. All original and includes the original sales receipt from...

When Charlie sent the 29 back he reminded me that there was some tearing of the bag at the top under the bag clamp. Since this bag is otherwise in excellent condition and I do want to use this machine, these tears need to be repaired as to not worsen.

Well this machine has more frequent flyer miles than I do. This is a special machine to me since I had one in college given to me by my sister-in-law from her mother who replaced it with a Dial-A-Matic Powerdrive. When I started collecting, this machine appeared on EBay and I bid furiously on...

I am posting this for a friend. He had an elderly friend who recently passed away. He found this in her belongings and is looking to sell it. It appears that it was used a few times and then put away in its original box. Excellent condition. Contact me at [email protected] for...
