Great Collection

Mike
you have a great variety and some really choice machines in a collection of 30 or so. they are most all usable and very important machines in the evolvement of
the Kirbys and and the Eureka's.
Take good care and enjoy then !
Norm

Nice machines!

Your collection is really nice. You have some excellent vacuums.

Does your Miele have a turbine nozzle attachned to it, or is that the S5 Orion with a battery-powered power nozzle?

Your Electrolux Epic 3500SR 75th Anniversary Edition upright is a favorite vacuum of mine. You can get an after-filter kit that installs over the exhaust to give the machine micro-filtration.

The Dyson DC21 Motorhead definitely will clean a carpet!

thanks!

my miele is an s4 orion with the battery powered accu-nova PN. thanks for letting me know about the electrolux im definately gunna look into that! and yes, the dc21 is a beast

The DC05

Hey Michael...

Thats a rare find over there- wonder how it came to be!.

It will run fine from a 220V dryer outlet- does it have a UK plug????


Seamus

 

[kirbyeureka95]

i hadnt thought about that....

it came from someone who moved here from england. ill post a picture of the plug my dryer outlet later to make sure its good. are all dryer outlets in the US 220V?

dyson

Hi Mike

really nice collection.

I managed to find a dc05 motor head ( really rare in the UK almost non existant in South Africa)

I wish I could get the dc21 here , that is a trully awsome machine.

Dyson SA has a deal were if you have brought back an over seas model they will give you the equivelant of $200.00 trade in off a new dyson. I do most of these deals and so get allot of UK and USA models


Buythe way your 220volt dryer outlet should work fine, other wise get an inverter, they are not that expensive.

I bought one to run my 110v machines


cheers
Gareth

The Miele S4 Orion

I bet that your Orion will become a collectible Miele. That PN was problematic to demonstrate and sell (according to dealers who have told me that), but it was a first for Miele. The machine itself, IMO, is the prettiest S4, and I hope you keep it.

 

[kirbyeureka95]

im definitely going to keep it!

i LOVE it...its probably the one im going to bring with me to college for my dorm etc.

College dorm

I don't blame you for wanting to have it with you, but I've seen what happens to vacuums in dorm rooms. Lotsa people are gonna want to borrow it, and it won't stay in mint condition very long. Just consider that. How about the Hoover canister or the Epic 3500 with a hose and dusting brush?

Very nice Michael

your on your way to owning Hundreds of Vacuums lol . It is very addictive and very hard to resist them . I should know I now own close to or over 300 vacuums. I started at the age of 5 and I am now 44 yo and I try like hell to stop buying but I can`t . Help I am a vacuum horder lol . Enjoy it and I can`t wait to see what they come up with next .

Michael,

Your Heritage II Legend has the rare 13" wide nozzle on it. That is just as rare as your Tradition with the locking headlight cap.

Great Collection

Well done, man. You have some cool machines. Certainly beats my grand total of 3 vacuums, one of which is currently completely disassembled.
It's awesome that you got a shop-vac as a prize. All I ever got was candy and stuff like that...
About the dorm, I live in the dorms at Oregon State, and I have one of those little Dirt Devil hand vacs (the older model) that I use in my room. It's nice to have (although very loud), but I'm very careful about who else uses it.

 

[shopvacdude]

Totally didn't look at the year...

Somehow I missed the age of this thread. Which vacuum did you end up taking with you?

 

[kirbyeureka95]

haha it has resurrected!

I won't know until this fall when i go I've also acquired lots of new vacuums since I posted this, so I'll probably post a collection update soon I'm hoping my parents will buy me a dyson DC44 for my dorm, but if not I'll probably go with my Miele S143

 

[vacuumfreak95]

Where did you get a brand new Fantom Cyclone XT?! Oh and I love your collection!

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Very nice presentation.

Nice basement, too. Good picture quality. I'm glad to see a nice HOOVER representation there. Perhaps put them all in one nice grouping? No need to apologize for the quality of photos. They are fine.
John.

 

[kirbyeureka95]

Thanks!

And haha, I'm not quite a hoover guy, but one must admit they are a quality classic so the brand needs some representation

In regard to the fantom, I found it at a vacuum shop I discovered about an hour from my house, but at the time the shop was closed and I could only longingly gaze at it through the window. Went back a few weeks later and than god it was still there!

 

[shopvacdude]

This is awesome

I'm totally stoked that I found another vacuum cleaner enthusiast my own age. We should share some ideas, man. I'm trying to start looking for shop-vacs to collect.

 

[kirbyvertibles]

HAHA I love the collection, hmmm I see a blue Eureka canister in there with foil on the hose that is now very happy at my house lol. Thanks again for selling it to me long ago.
