My Extensive Collection Part 9

[marks_here]

My house in Nashville

Was built in 1929 & when we bought it was fully updated with plumbing, electrics & most of all insulation.

Why does it seem like you post pics with a nice background and then other pics seem like they were scanned and posted. I mean it's nice to see the new old machines but do you still have them?

Exactly Alphonse

I thought posting pictures on here was safe but people come to this site and steal pics .


Rex and Mark ,

My bungalow was built in 1924 we totally gutted it to studs all electric plumbing and mechanicals and everything in between was all updated took 4 months to complete then we moved in . Added inground pool Hot tub and 3 Koi ponds plus two garages and paved the stone driveway . Wouldn't have it any other way .

Very nice 'Lux-usually when I find the white ones they are dirty and beat up!Leave those in the trade in piles!Now if I found one like the one shown-then I would go for it.

 

[kirbyloverdan]

U got that right Rex

That's the main reason I prefer brand new I want to be the one to dirty it I don't want someone else's filth and diseases in my home and on my carpets . The only used vacuums I ever put into my home are from relatives or my awesome friend John Gregory of Sweeper central when he sends me a Hoover vacuum, I know it's been torn down and parts replaced with brand new North Canton genuine Hoover parts he knows about my OCD and his machines he sends me are meticulous and sanitized to brand new standards .

Used vacuums-I do have several used machines in my collection.I have cleaned them up-or the vac dealer I deal with does it-often me and the dealer do it together-same with sewing machines I bought from him or I got from yard sales.The Kirby Sentrias,Sentria 2 and Heritage I got from Mike are pretty much brand new-only been used for their demo or a couple other times.The bags in the machines often are not even full!Mike-the vac guy I deal with takes these machines as trades and offers the customer another machine-often a Meile or Sebo.Then the trade ins are shown to me.Most I have taken in.There is one very PITIFUL 'Lux Guardian I left in his pile-the silly add on filter was duct taped on and the machine was dirty and beat up-smelled horrible when run!And those Guardians with the last moment add on HEPA filter sound like you are trying to vacuum with a B-52 engine!Have heard those when my Dad was in the Air Force!LOUD!!!!B -52s were impressive to watch during take offs!I also keep watches on his sewing machine trade in piles,too.Would like older examples of Bernina and Pfaff.Like the mostly mechanical machines-they are easier to keep going-no circuit boards!

My brand new Aerus Guardian 2003

Bought it brand new uses it about 2 times I prefer uprights and use them more but this is an amazing vacuum .


Dan

 

[tolivac]

The Lux Guardian shown is like the one I used to have-hated the external filter-it would pop off when the vacuum bumpted into something and wasn't quiet like other 'Lux canisters were.The one I found in the vac shops trade in pile was like yours shown-but yours is in so much better shape!The vac shop one was beat up,dirty,and the filter duct taped onto the machine.And it smelled when you ran it-even with a clean bag.If I can find a clean 'lux like yours maybe I will reconsider it.The vacuum does work well,though.The Guardians have a larger bag so they don't fill quickly with the powernozzle as the other 'Lux machiens using the smaller C bag.

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Rex ,That was the major complaint

That stupid filter which was an after thought I always preferred the Rennisanse with the flat micro filter under tool caddy it was enough this HEPA stuff can get carried away .

I have never had it fall off but as I have said I only use canisters and this one rarely .


Dan

 

[marks_here]

That's why my neighbour in Florida didn't buy it because it looked stupid plus she knocked it off accidentally with the hose in the demo but did get the Lux7000 & the Ambassador III & I got her Silverado w/deluxe package!

Dan

Since you aren't as fond of your Electrolux Guardian as you are of other canisters in your collection, would you consider selling it? I have been considering buying one for a long time now, & it would be VERY tempting to buy one that's virtually brand new, as yours is.

I have a heck of a time trying to get mine off to check it .
I actually tried to pull it off and I lifted the entire vacuum in the air and it stayed stuck in the machine .


I finally did remove it but it wasn't an easy task

Dan

 

[kirbyloverdan]

Rob

That's something I have to really think about I have a heck of a time letting go of my vacuums .

I think I have sold a total of 6 since I have started this thread . I really think I am a vacuum hoarder and I really regret the 6 I have sold but yet I still have tons more as you can see from my thread .

I also have the 75th anniversary Guardian as well pics of that one very soon .
