TWO ON EBAY RIGHT NOW!!!!!!

[gottahaveahoove]

It is amazing that these vacs survived.

And, yes, collectable, much like those "Regina Housekeepers". They were popular, disappeared. Son IF there are any around, it seems to be a big deal.

Well, we all like what we like, collect what we like. And... should not be irritating about the others.

Oh, what a person collects does not irritate me in the least. We're all here for a common goal - collecting vacuum cleaners. I myself have a small collection of Hoover Elites which are also somewhat rare nowadays because they were used and sometimes abused and many were put at the curb with broken fans and fan housings. Do I think they were the same build quality as the venerable Convertible, no, do I think they're better quality than the current crop of TTI Hoovers? Without a doubt.

 

[gottahaveahoove]

I agree.... with all of that

And, if I worried about what others say about Me.... I'd have been institutionalized by now. Some want to "punch him in the face"... been called everything under the sun. "Mother...." was another. YEP !!!!!!!!!!
Sadly, the TTI vacs will never reflect that glorious history which began in N Canton.
But, I remember Dick pike, himself, telling me that they never 'planned' to 'replace Convertible'. But, when the Elites came out, they couldn't make them fast enough.
We've seen people abuse vacs. Even the good metal ones (many survived). So, there's no chance the "plastic" stuff could endure.................

seems like some minions

are not as loyal as they were thought to be.

Is there a way we can manage to keep the thread on track without anything derogatory for once?

 

[eureka1998]

Im kind of tempted if I should place a bid on there myself. After all This IS a machine that I was after for 10+ years, to see one this good...oh man!

 

[gottahaveahoove]

Go for it.

You could win it. That would be great. I've bid on things I was sure I'd lose. But, I won.
It would be wonderful for you to get a vac you've wanted for so long.
Best of luck!

sorry

was a double post.

 

[eureka1998]

Originally I wasn't going to, but now I'm having second thoughts

 

[electroluxxxx]

As promised here is what I have dirt devil wise so far.

Mike, may I call you Mike?

That's a lot of D.D.
An "array" in red.

 

[electroluxxxx]

Yes it is! The bagless on the end was NIB, and all but 2 (excluding the NIB vision) have been serviced or rebuilt with some NOS parts. The 2 awaiting service are the plus (soft bag) and lite plus (black bag). I did have a can Vac, both power team and straight suction, also the pro series maroon version and I found them to be lousy machines as they lost suction rather fast, they were loud and somewhat flimsy in construction. I have also had the MVP deluxe as well in 7, 10 and 12 amp and found those to be excellent performers for what they were in a clean air design. They seemed to hold power rather well, were durable, quiet, and managed to last quite a long time and let’s not forget that LARGE bag capacity! I could only wish they would make them like this again. At least these machines were well worth their value and you definitely got what you paid for.

That is a collection of some of Dirt Devil's finest, including the Featherlite bagless!!!!! The Broom Vac, Ultra MVP, Plus XF and Lite Plus black are probably my favorites here!!! My aunt had the PLUS a long time ago.

 

[electroluxxxx]

Thank you for the compliment! They are very good machines indeed and some of my absolute favorites. I see you are in NY how far from Syracuse are you?

 

[regularrett69]

Woah!

My dreams have come true! I've been rather hysterically replying to nearly 8 year old posts on this site just on dirt devils to see if i could get anything other than a hand vac (haha). If anyone wants to sell some of their dirt devils, like a lite, broom vac, ultra mvp, mvp, upright, deluxe, classic, alternate hand vac models, and any variants of those models, I'm happy to buy. If you want to list them on ebay, I'm still happy to buy. Just PLEASE let people place offers, list a buy it now price, and use the one up from the cheapest shipping, these vacs are delicate. I need an absolute empire of dirt devils (laugh). Grandmas hand vac handy parts mailer inspired this obsession...

Thanks, Rett

@regularrett69

I have this machine for sale. It is essentially unused, I’m just making way for other machines.
Send me an email if you’re interested

[regularrett69]

Perfect!

I've always been interested in having a dirt devil with a cloth bag bigger than a penny! I've sent you an email. And back on the topic of the thread, I will try my best to win the Ultra MVP on eBay, and if I do, I'll send pictures and videos on here so you guys know what it might be like with the cord rewinder. I am a bit confused on where the VCCC is, the issues, and what costs are. Also where any vacuum conventions are just to show vacs and talk all day about them... Can somebody point me in the right direction? I'm just looking to show some of my recent finds whenever the next event is, and to possibly try others' vacuums.
