Thanks! The lighting in the basement is cool white LED lighting and the camera my IPhone 11. The machines actually are very vibrant with color as I don’t believe they have been exposed to a whole lot of sun or used heavily.

Hey Mike
Why don't you bring a few of them to the Vacuum Cleaner Collectors Convention in September. I'm sure there are many younger members who would want to see them. The Theme this year is Central Vacs (won't Greg Palmer be impressed) but as you know we have three days of festivities. A couple of your pristine Dirt Devils would be welcome (as you always are - you have a standing invitation). Will be great seeing you again, and a new photo op. Loved our last one. "The Most Unpretentious meal".....

If I am able to go, I’d be more than happy to bring a couple of them down. Yes last time was a great time and I look forward to many more!

I’m using one of mine today. The deluxe was quite popular when I was young. I don’t have a problem with these either. I think they were a good value for the money back in the early 90s.

That’s a great cleaner Kenny, so packed with features and for a clean air design, they definitely were a good value! They lasted a long time too.

That's a nice collection. Until today I didn't know so many soft bag models existed.I have six models and only two of those I see in your collection. It would be great to see a list of the entire DD line from the first. Do you have a favorite in the full size upright category? I still like my 7amp red and 10amp black deluxe,both still work after almost 30 years. The model that Kloveland is sporting above lists for 169.95 in a '90-'91 Best Merchandise catalog,which puts it in their upper mid price range. Thanks for sharing!

Ultra MVP...
Soooooo the Ultra Mvp has risen to over $100, and well over that. It is at $145 for the vacuum price, and $45 for shipping no matter where you are, so it's going to be a $200 vacuum pretty soon! I'm fine with it because I just found a broom vac with the original box! Never seen one! Never used!

Yeah i've given up on bidding, someone keeps bidding right after others. Where did you find the Broom Vac?
Mike,
Impressive collection of Dirt Devils!
And, some beautiful Maytags back there too!
I don't collect DDs, but I picked this one up because it was something you don't see every day.
There was a discussion in a different thread about how stores cut the cords off of some vacuums to use them for display. This one came that way right from the manufacturer. Made specifically for display. A little Vac & Dust. I guess they included everything that the functional version would have. It appears to have a bag in it, and there's a microfiber pad for the floor nozzle.
I've never taken it out of the box and assembled it. I just bought it as a novelty.

The
Pic I attached the brush roll doesn't engage.
Retail stores when you get returns the manufacturer pays for retailer to dispose of the product. This means they have to cut the cord. It was called 1506 at Walgreens. The number is referring to the number for the balance sheet of the business.
They don't want defective items in circulation of the public.

I haven't seen this thread in the top for a while, so figured it was done. The Broom Vac is on offerup, and I'm about to have the seller ship it to me pretty soon. Les, I would definetley buy your MVP, but I just got the older Upright Deluxe, and just ran out of room in the collection.
Thanks, Garrett

Glad you have had luck on OfferUp. I deleted my account there. I probably tried to buy 20 vacuums off of there in a 2 month period in 2018 and each time I did, the seller expected me to pick it up (even when im 7 states away) when they had the listing stated they would ship it, or never shipped the order at all.

I have a newer version of the 3n1 you linked I bought from Amazon on a dirt cheap sale to use to clean up after my parrot and small touch ups. I probably got it 10?
Years ago when I was living in the old long term rental. It started smelling hot so I stopped using it and then all the cordless vacs started getting cheap so I got one. After a while I found it again and cleaned it out and it still worked after all so I used it around the birds area because it has way better suction than my early cordless. It's mostly retired now but I just fired it up and sucked up some bird garbage with it.
I have a Shark Ion duo clean x2 cordless I got that works really well as a touch up machine and can pick up all the bigger crumbs he throws around but that Dirt Devil is still great and cheap and they still sell updated versions. As long as you have a plug close by it does a nice job.

That machine just takes a belt. It doesn’t have a crazy set up (luckily)

I wasn't sure. I worked at Walgreens and in 2009 every store got a 1030z. In 2016 they bought all the stores the orange hard plastic royal. I imagine it's probably pretty similar to that model.
I did get the 1030z and fixed it up. I sold it to a member on here.
I wasn't super impressed with the royal hard plastic version.

Anyone else think the pre "ball" Dysons had better Bin/Cyclone designs?
