Every Home Should Have.........

[papasvacs]

<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">.... a collection of vacuum cleaners.  Since I have moved to Florida permanently I have less room to store/display my vacs.  Florida homes do not have basements.</span>


<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">Had to be a bit inventive. </span>


<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">Here are some of my collection vacs.  You never know where a vacuum is going to show up in this house.  And there are more coming as soon as my organ and other possessions arrive.</span>

wow

You even color-coordinated them! Green Hoover on green wall... Blue Hoover on blue wall, etc. Nifty! Good luck on stashing the collection... Most of my closets are full of vacuums, so I know the feeling!

Aren't you the little

creative one?   Any more "issues"?

How Creative! I might buy some vacuums with worn motors for display in my kitchen

Picture 6.

And the Electrolux model LX is exactly the way I have mine. I'm very impressed!!

The color coordinated scheme is good. Add in some similar colored candles and dried flowers.... perfect.

I'm thinking of building some large shelves type units with large wheels, so I can move the displays around, if need be. Something with slanted shelves, kind of like a big magazine rack.

I don't want the vacs sitting some place they could get bumped, scratched, extra dirty, or will regularly have the sun shine on them. I've seen vacs, and other appliances, that have white or beige parts that have faded because of exposure to sun daily.

Awesome way to display your fantastic collection. Love the electroluxes

Great Idea!

WOW! I never thought of putting vacuums on top of the cabinets! Nice!

Here's what my carpet sweeper collection looked like in 2005. While this picture isn't a close-up, it gives you an idea of best use of space.

Very Creative Greg!

I house a few of my favorite units in my bedroom closet!! There is also always one on display in my bedroom. Currently it's my Convertible!

I love the idea of putting some on top of the kitchen cabinets!! Isn't it great having a vacuum in each room, just about!!

I hope you're enjoying Florida. I'll be so happy for you when ALL of your possessions arrive. That includes resolving the missing ones!!! Best of luck with everything Greg!!

Here's some photos I took the other night when I was vacuuming with my Hoover Dimension 1000. There are "Jealous Spies" in my bedroom closet, wanting use! Sometimes 2 reside sitting out in the bedroom like in the 4th photo.

A CENTRAL VAC?

Oh darn I thought I guessed it hahaha oh well.

I believe every home should have a central vac. The MD (Modern Day) Silent Master is the best you can buy. It's MADE IN U.S.A. (California to be exact.) The Hide-A-Hose System is really the most convenient because the hose stores inside the pipe so it actually MAKES CLEANING EASIER and SAVES YOU TIME from having to go to your closet and grab your 30 foot hose and plug it into one of your inlets. With this type of system, you can pull as little or as much hose out of the wall needed to get the job done. When finished, just simply block the airflow path at the end of the hose with your hand and the hose will retract inside the wall.

There is no job too big or too small that a central vac can't handle.

Work smarter, Not harder.

Please feel free to contact me if you would like for us to install one for you.

A central vac.

I used to have one way back in 1995, and loved it, but I get a lot of fun using my vintage machines. The Electrolux model LX is the very one that interested me in 1952, and the Kirby Classic III was the first Kirby I bought new in 1976.

So while I'm seriously considering a central vac, I don't want to stop using my trusty friends, or banish them to a closet either.

I have a MD Silentmaster unit-not installed with plumbing-but have it in my hallway.Use it with a 35Ft electric hose so I essentually get the full power of this marvelous machine.I got started collecting central vacuums from buying two used Nutone units from the MD dealers trade in pile.Bought the Silentmaster brand new out of the box.It has the 12Gal open top bag-like a TriStar bag.Use the machine as a "Monster vac" with my Kirby Avalir.I also use a Sebo ET1 powernozzle for areas the Kirby won't fit.Currently this is one of the most powerful vacuums I have-has a 15.8A motor-the only other one I have that is close is my Tornado Task Force WD vacuum with Ext filter bag.It has a 15A motor.Either of these runs fine on a 15A outlet.Just run the Kirby or Sebo on another outlet.So guess now I am hooked on these.All of my units are bagged.My Mom used to have a bagless NuTone-hated dumping the thing.Two of my Moms houses had central vacs.One of her homes had a bagged B&D unit.I can Agree MD central vacs are the best out there!!!They are a high quality unit.

Adam and Evan

Installed a dual motor HP Vac U Flo commercial model central vacuum into our recently purchased home. Donnie loves it, and uses it a lot. We have three 'flaps' in the house, one in the garage, a Wally Flex in the laundry room, a Wally Flex over the work bench in the garage, a VROOM under the kitchen sink, and a Vac Pan in the baseboard in the kitchen. Evan is installing a Hide A Hose in the hallway for surface cleaning in the office, which also contains the litter box for the two cats. Our entire home is 'wired' for a central vacuum system. Evan also put a 'cherry bomb' car muffler in the exhaust system, since the two motors make a roar like a tornado siren. Now, it sounds like a dryer outside my house. For someone who used to consider central vacuums to be little more than an old General Electric Swivel Top strapped onto the wall, and piped into the house, I now have a very complete system that we both are extremely delighted with. Evan Rogers, Owen Perkins, and Evan Strittmatter (experts in Central Vacuums)have managed to convince myself and Donnie that Central Sweeping Systems are the way to go - we love our system and wouldn't change it for the world. Our system pulls more than 110 inches of lift, buries the Baird Meter for air flow, and outcleans every other machine I own. We use ours with a 35 foot, direct connect, Riccar brand Premium Power Nozzle kit. The nozzle has the three row brush roller, dirt sensor light, quick disconnect telescopic wand, and even came with a mini electric power nozzle. The ultimate in cleaning.
