Hey guys. I wanted to ask you all about rare hard to find vacuums. I go to flea markets, thrift stores and estate sales in search of vintage kitchen items. But I have and do run into old vacuums quite a bit. I know there are a lot of them you guys really want. While I could never remember all the ones you each want give me an idea of really sought after ones. For example I know the easy roll from ge is rare and sought after by vacuum collectors. I'm asking because it would really suck if I passed up something really hard to find that you guys really want. I don't know a lot about vacuums or models so just tell me the brand and a picture of it so I know.
educate me a little

Electrolux Model G
I would love any of the model E, AE, F, or especially the model G Electrolux canisters. That's very thoughtful of you to ask!

Jill,
well for one, one like that Panasonic 240 or 950 jet flo canister your grandmother has.
But that means I must also dispose of one. To control inventory so to speak.

OK. I've got these written down. The Panasonic belongs to my boyfriend's grandma and she was talking about getting an oreck so I already told her I wanted the Panasonic when she gets an oreck. I figured one if you guys might want it. As soon as she gives it to me its yours vacerator 
If anyone runs across a pink mixmaster they dont want for their own collection I would LOVE to have one. Really any vintage appliances in pink. I saw on ad for appliances in an old magazine and the stove and fridge were pink. How COOL!
