Next,,,,

My daily driver....


My baby....


My 2009 Sanitaire S677D Top of the tip line vacuum for Sanitaire. My most powerful, best cleaning vacuum to this date.

Payed a whopping $10 for it from a filter queen dealer. It had been used for a few weeks and then traded in.

Next, My personally restored childhood vacuum.


This is my "sucker" as I called em when I was little. My grandpa had/has so many old vacuums in his house.


THE FIRST vacuum to ever be considered mine! Very very close to me.



Also the quietest running convertible I have ever used/heard


BRAND New old stock commercial 344 bag from the local vacuum goldmine!

Now here is whats left!


This picture was taken by Ben Swestka in Iowa.


I DO NOT OWN THE 65!!! It was claimed before I could get to it!!!!


Everything else I own.


The model 61 is a very unique machine. Its got a weird gold hammertone paint. Its not brown like other 61s I have seen.

Also the beautiful model 31 special is another childhood vacuum. My grandpa had one for years in the garage. It got trashed long ago.


The other 3 hoovers are in storage. Dont have any other pictures of them yet.

Im bringing home the 31 and 61 when I meet up with my friend in the next few days.
