Hey all! I'm here to update you on a vacuum I bought earlier this year on January 11. See post #42915 for background. Here's a photo of the Shop-Vac Model 600A in the store back in January, in the bottom-left corner.

Hello once again, everyone! Sorry I haven't posted in a while as life got in the way. I hope you'll join me for the story of how I got a Kirby Heritage II for free. It was a muggy Thursday afternoon. I had just picked up my truck from getting its AC system fixed and was riding high on high...

As I mentioned in my previous post, #42915, I raided the local St Vincent De Paul's again. For those who haven't seen my previous post (and for better storytelling), here's a photo of the selection they had.

Oh, no. Not again. That's right - Lady is back at it again with the white Vans. And by white Vans, I mean another vacuum find. Dateline: 11 January 2022. 3:30 PM. I was feeling depressed because my housemate's car broke down, and I ordered a part and tried to fix it, but it was too cold to undo...

The cropped-eared queen is back with another tale of vacuum collecting! Dateline: 18 November 2021, 4:00 PM. It's a bitterly cold day. The house smells like Neenah-Menasha (my housemate was cooking with cauliflower), so I decided to go and try to fill up my tires at the Kwik-Trip. I get to the...

Ah, here goes that dang furry posting plasti-vacs again. But this one has a really good story, honest! My Bissell Powerforce Helix 12B1 is very special to me. If you wonder why I chose my username, this is why. My 12B1 was given to me by my next-door neighbours, who used to own an albino...

Hey all, Sammy here again! I decided to ditch the "once-a-month" thing and knock it down to every two weeks. After finding my first vacuum (thread #42300), it was quite some time before I found another awaiting rescue: a Shark Rotator Professional NV500. Shark is, as seen in my bio, my...

Hi all! My name's Sammy. I got into vacuums somewhat recently. Today, I want to talk to you about my first find from last year! Sadly, I didn't take a photo of it when I picked it up. It was outside a pet store in southwest Marshfield, Wisconsin. Here's a picture of when it got home:
