Marty,

It's such a shame that you won't be there. You are always so much fun. It's always great seeing you and going to events with you. Perhaps things will change. Joe, Greg, Kevin and I always get there on Wed afternoon. That way, we are rested and not rushed when the convention begins on Thursday afternoon.

Several are going there.

It is not an official part of the VCCC convention, you know that. It happens to be an attraction about an hour away from where we will be. It is a totally separate attraction. People, I believe, are planning to visit that before our convention begins Thurs afternoon. Enjoy.
 
Thank you for clarifying that John. Heaven forbid that people make the trek all the way to St. Louis, and not know they can come to the Vacuum Cleaner Museum. It's open all year long. Certainly it would be the "holy grail" for any real vacuum collector. That's one of the reasons it exists. To be a resource for vacuum collectors of ALL brands. Looking forward to meeting people I've never met before.

Also, anyone can purchase a Tacony product at the Factory Outlet Store for much less than suggested retail, and get Free Shipping.

Vacuum Museum

The Tacony vacuum museum is a "must" see for anyone that appreciates and collects vacuums of all brands and types. The factory outlet store is fantastic as well.
You can try them out before you buy,, at a substantial savings, plus free shipping. I have been there several times and looking forward to my next visit this spring.

Your Museum is amazing I am still working on showing up with a few friends that week just to see the most famous vacuum cleaner museum .

It's going to be an interesting visit I am sure as you are a vacuum genius plus it's connected to the wonderful vacuum manufacturer Tacony vacuums made right here in the good ole USA .

I am in LOVE with all my Tacony vacuums I have purchased from you and can't wait to purchase more of the exciting new models . Everyone will be able to purchase awesome vacuums at equally awesome prices .

The museum is outstanding. Seems like there were some other attractions on the way, like a really big rocking chair.

I was most impressed by the old Airway upright vacuums. My only disappointment was that Tom didn't have his signature Airway canister on display at the time of my visit. But with so many vacuums, he can't display all at once.
 
The Tom Gasko Air-Way Signature Series model will be on display, along with the entire Air-Way vacuum collection.

Thanks for the kind words guys. Anyone who has visited has left with a smile on their face - it's really a 'one of a kind' experience.

Where else could you use a 1909 Hoover, followed by a 1966 Electrolux Hospital model G?
 
Doug,

I'm sorry you're upset by that. I'm not stirring any pots in here. It is a fact that the museum/factory is not an officcial event. That's all I said.
I always tell the honest truth. Again, sorry if <span style="text-decoration: underline;">you are upset</span> by that. Not my intention.
John.
 
That would kind of be like going to Rome and not seeing the Vatican. Who has a vacuum cleaner collectors convention and doesn't plan on going to the Vacuum Cleaner Museum as part of the trip?

The factory is amazing. We should be making the cordless 8 pound Simplicity and Riccar ultra light uprights by then. They are so cool. They run almost an hour and of course are Full Sized, Full Powered cleaners. The freedom of not having a cord is awesome.

The new Wonder and Prima canisters will be on display - I'm going to love showing you all where every one of their features came from. The Museum was used extensively in its design.

Plus it will give everyone a chance to see the Maytag cleaners IN PERSON. It's a sight to see every model Simplicity, Riccar, Fuller Brush, and Maytag model in one place at the same time. Factory Outlet Store pricing and free shipping if anyone wants anything.

Also, for anyone interested, you can go through the Duplicates section in the Mezzanine section above the factory floor. Find a treasure and make me an offer. I have over three hundred machines up there. Plus the tremendous amount of obsolete bags and repair parts for all brands, makes, and models. Need a hose? I probably have it. Need an obsolete brush roller? I probably have it.
 
2 great events--same week--same region

Any here that would be able to get to the convention and not see the museum/factory might find it like:Ham with out Eggs--Salt wo Pepper--Bogey wo Bacall--Astaire wo Rogers--Sears wo Roebuck--Rolls wo Royce--Funk wo Wagnals--Robbins wo Myers--Rexair wo Water--the Hoover wo the Dusting Tools--Thunder wo Lightning--AM wo FM--well you get the idea.
I would hope ALL could enjoy BOTH.
 
Seeing Old Friends...

Oops!! I suppose that should read "Seeing Long-time friends!"

Phillip and John, many thanks for the kind words. I am really looking forwward to the Convention and catching up with many people. I just might be the first in line at the Registration table Thursday afternoon when the Convention begins. So glad you both will be there as well. And remember:

"Nothing sucks like an Electrolux"
"Happy Hoovering"
