Finally preparing the Vacuum "gallery". Care to see some HOOVERS?

Well, I emptied out the camera from the convention

and all of my final exams are corrected. I have to get back to my carpentry, AND this thread of photos.
I also plan to post a look at filter bags...starting with the "W" Handisac.
You know it was listed as "reusable", therefore not getting confused with the Airway disposable. I know all about the lawsuits.
Of course, later, all vacuum companies made cleaners with disposable paper bags. The HOOVER manuals always state that it "is imperative to use only genine Hoovaer bags". They ar emade better and are easy to change. I never had a dirt problem changing those bags, and the type "A" is absolutely simple. My cleaners never belch out dust, etc.I guess if your vacuum cleaner belches anything, you must examine it as, clearly you must have done something wrong. . As long as there are no holes, it is installed correctly, etc. We should also be careful not to pick up tacks, coins, pins, etc. That's what the light is for. Who would knowingly pick up thos things?
As a Rainbow demo once, I saw the demonstrator rip a Windtunnel filterbag, so it WOULD blow dust around when turned on. I thought that was a bad tactic during an otherwise nice little demonstration. Although, I made my self abundantly clear BEFORE said presentation that I would NOT be buying one.
I must say, in respect to Rainbows..... I DO like the little table top filter (not a vacuum) and wouldn't mind procuring one someday. They seem like a great little appliance.

I had a similar experience with a rather nefarious Rainbow salesperson. I wondered why he was rubbing the bag with his fingers. Makes sense that he was attempting to make the bag belch some dirty air. Given that the air coming out of the bag still had to travel through a pre-motor filter and a post-motor HEPA filter, his attempt wasn't very successful.
 
The Rainbow Rainmate

Is, and this is just my opinion, a good Fragrance diffuser, but not so much for an actual air cleaner.  Some dust may accidentely get trapped, but for the most part it just imparts smells and some moisture to the air. 


 


Again, just in my opinion.  I found one at Goodwill for $1.95 and use it often, but don't see a lot of dust in the basin.
 
Bored!?

I think anybody who says they are bored of these wonderful pictures should receive an immediate ban from VL!

My only hope is that one day I will have even 10% of the vacuums you do, that would make me very happy indeed.
 
LOL, I wouldn't go that far, Jamie.

I NEVER expected to have all of this, who really does?
My sister was in visiting from Virginia this past weekend. She brought up the "Hoovers" at a dinner party. They all asked, "You still have all that stuff? How many Hoover products do you have NOW?" I heard gasps....... I told my sister that if I should die, (no intention any time soon, but you never know what might happen)... there are lengthy instructions as to what to do with them all. I told her, "Don't just ask friends/family, Anybody want a sweeper?" After I told her pertinent details, she saw things differently. I can imagine when I Do 'leave", there'll be a lot of giggling, followed by, "Oh my Gosh...." then...........

What used to be fodder for laughter has definitely changed.
