I’ve wanted one of these in the worst way for years now. I’d say I’ll likely never find one, but I said the same thing about the KenKart machine, and we all know how that ended up...

Hans, you're on my list of backlogged visits I need to make, preferably sooner rather than later! We have the same horrid sense of humor, and it was always fun to see you at the conventions, its been way too long...

can't wait
Can't wait for the convention, it will be my third one, going to bring several of my water vacs and maybe bring back some more canisters if anyone is selling any this year, I'm a canister only person, don't like uprights, there are definitely some canisters I want to see this year that the museum hopefully has, the Apex Stratocleaner, a Eureka 800 series canister, a Eureka 900 series canister, the Haily's comet, and probably some others that I am forgetting.

Hi, I would really like to come to the convention June 14th through the 16th. I have read about it through this blog for the past several years and want to make the trip. Looking for recomondations on hotels. Does one need to register or anything? I would also like to spend a day at the museum with all the wonderful machines. Perhaps I would arrive a day early. I assume the musuem is open to the public daily. If anyone has any thoughts on all of this it would be appreciated.
Thanks, Richard.
Thanks, Richard.

Hi Richard:
You should try to come to the Vacuum Collectors Convention, June 14 - 16. There is NO fee to attend, NO registration fee, and you don't have to be a 'member' of anything to join us.
The Vacuum Cleaner Museum is open to the public during these days (as well as all year long). Most people arrive on Thursday sometime during the day. Friday is a full day at the Museum, where we learn about the machines on display - and can get them down from the display shelves and actually use them. Saturday is where we go through the Museum's store room - parts are available as well as hoses, wands, and attachments. Vintage bags too.
Saturday evening is a cocktail party at my home. That's where we get to explore the machine brought to the gathering by others. Mike is bringing his collection of water-filtration vacuums - many of them never seen by most people. Looking forward to seeing and trying the Ritello and Quantum water vacs. I'll provide appetizers and mixers for every one coming over on Saturday evening.
Some folks stay in St. James at the Greenstay Inn. Others stay one exit away in Rolla, MO. There are many places in Rolla to stay, most stay at the Super 8.
Please feel free to join us.
