[QUOTE="fan-of-fans, post: 157134, member: 775"] This may have been discussed before, but does anyone collect shop vacs as well? I used to like them as a kid. My favorites were the more unusual ones. JcPenney had two maroon and white Shop Vacs called the Floormaster series. They had a bin on the back for the tools and I think blower ports. The smaller one was very short and there was a larger, taller model too. There are also Eureka shop vacs in those catalogs. I have a Sears Home Central catalog that has the Hoover wet/dry vac as well. Another favorite was the Shop Vac All-Around, which looked a bit like a canister vacuum and was meant for more in-house cleaning. In the 1990s Sears sold a white 6 gallon Craftsman shop vac that I liked because it had a cord reel. I saw one in the trash a few years ago but couldn't get it. Anyhow, I have one Shop Vac myself, a 5 gallon from 1997. I was always diligent about keeping the tank washed out and filters cleaned. At the time I thought about getting a Craftsman 2 gallon wet/dry vac instead, because it had a blower port. However, it didn't have wheels. My grandparents have a metal tank red and white Montgomery Ward shop vac from the 1970s, although the plastic dolley broke. A few years ago they got a Craftsman 2 gallon when they were on sale for $14. I like that they come with a dusting brush and other tools, but they louder than other shop vacs. [/QUOTE]
