Do any of the collector evr go look at your vacuum collection ?
I mean after a long days work do you *(i know after work i like to check on my vacuum look at different machine check hose filters just for fun . lol) check on your vacuum or re arrange the brushes ect ?

I may be od but i like to check on my vacuum bags , filters ect just organize the parts lol what can i say i like my collection its small 4 machine but i still like to be around them.lol
 
No, but since I have seven vacuums (Kirby Avalir, Kirby Heritage II, Kirby Dual Sanitronic, Royal 884, JCPenney [Hoover] Convertible Sanitaire SC886 and Dyson Ball Animal 2). I literally have a vacuum for every day of the week. I think that I am done collecting, that is unless I run across a Kirby Classic/Omega and/or a pre-Sanitronic Kirby (and even still, I think that'll be it).

Until this year, my wife and I have only had one vacuum, and that was the Sanitaire. Then I was bitten by the thrift store bug when I scored a Kirby Sentria for $20 IIRC, which I later gave away to a neighbor as seven vacuums is a little much, even though they are neatly tucked away and out of sight. I guess at the end of the day, all anyone ever needs is just one good vacuum.

I keep all of them except for the D50 and the Heritage II Legend under the stairs in a closet, along with different cleaning supplies. My D50 is proudly displayed in our foyer, with the permission from my wife, lol. The HII Legend is upstairs in the closet of my study. Since my wife was so understanding about my sudden impulse to collect vacuums, I surprised her with the Dyson on her birthday, all nice and brand new.
 
Well all my vacuum and cleaning supplies are in one corner of my basement.
I keep my monster 16 gallon shop-vac ,compact electra c9 , lux floor pro , lux discovery 2 and all my hoses and miscellaneous parts in a big plastic tub also in the basement out of sight .Just easyer to have them all in one place .But i do use almost every day my machine , some time canister, some time up right or the big ol shopvac depends on the moods .Also id love to add a few electrolux super J diamond and olympia and a few upright kirby well see when the time comes. Just started a new job so save some cash first and well se i just like checking on my vac when im not busy whit work.
 
What few vacs I have and the rest of my collected stuff is all in my bedroom on display, so I'm kinda looking at them all the time.
 
I had twice the space ,

that I have now due to the huge attic with 16ft. high ceiling,pitched. So I would feature a different vacuum each month on rotation. Propped on a pedestal with overhead spot light and the accessories displayed.Only two left on my list and I'm a happy camper. A Model G of "Keither" quality and a sweet Heritage II Legend. I enjoy that each has their own "stand out" feature that sets them apart from the rest.I'm trying to hold the line at around 50 (ish).
