Before and After!

Charlie, that was a GREAT comeback for that dufus!! THAT WAS HILARIOUS!! Well, anyway. I am also sorry to hear that most of your vacuums were lost...I hope that doesn't happen to me...

~~K~~

P.S. My mom says "You can't have any more vacuums!" What should I do?!?! I really want to keep collecting! I think they think it is a space issue. Is it safe to keep it in an attic where it can reach 0 degrees in the winter and 100 degrees in the summer?

I believe that the Juniors weren't sold in the US because they weren't really suited to the much larger American houses - even over here, it takes ages to do a room with one because they're so small! In the US, the Standard and Popular-Priced machines were much more popular, and I suppose it was decided there just wasn't a big-enough market niche for the Juniors. Pretty sure they did sell them in Canada, though...

375's still show up here in HUGE numbers (Hoover were selling re-coloured, factory-reconditioned machines in the 70's!), and 370's do show up on eBay from time to time, you might be able to find a seller willing to ship internationally, although shipping price would of course be considerable!

Compromise. Keep only cleaners that are in top shape, or get rid of a less favored cleaner when you MUST have another. do you have more cleaners than fit in your room? are some of your cleaners in poor shape/non-functioning? if you answered yes, its time to think of a solution. it not unreasonable of your parents to keep your collection from spilling over into the rest of their house.

Jack, great pictures, the difference is incredible! I LOVE the styling of that Model 900!

All of my vacuums are in tip-top shape. I have a few in my playroom, and 2 in my room. If the attic is an option, then that is where I will go. Also, in the basement, there is a room in which I might be able to put them. Oh, well!
