Vacuum collection pictures?

[rugsucker]

After the candy the maid might be able to say "--My folks got the Hoover." (Very few here today will know what this refers to.)

That is pretty cool.

Here are some pictures of my vacuum rooms over the years. Albeit, this only shows maybe a third of to a half of what all is stored in bins like Convertibles and Eurekas. Thankfully, after a few years in storage, my collection is finally going back into a room in my home, so more pictures to come!

More pics!

And a few more pics!

That is just an amazing collection, and to think there is more!

Great collection! My choice for rarest is Firestone upright.

 

[centralsweeper63]

I could agree with that.

Paul, you have some very, very nice machines. Amazing! I can't upload photos as we are getting ready to shift house, so they are all in storage, though I would love to.

I appreciate that, Elliot!

A few spots open for machines currently under restoration, and a couple needing restoration. A lot of my Eurekas have been sold, now the stains in the old carpet are more visible View attachment 172104View attachment 172105View attachment 172106View attachment 172107View attachment 172108View attachment 172109View attachment 172110View attachment 172111View attachment 172112

Do you mean that you are no longer collecting and restoring any vintage Eurekas?

 

[centralsweeper63]

Paul, you don't just have rare machines, you polished and cleaned them to perfection.

Incredible collections. Great photos.

 

[centralsweeper63]

Definately.

This is part of my collection.

I sold and repaired vacuum cleaners for almost 50 years. Not really interested in the new stuff anymore when we have such great vintage machines. My vacuums live in their own room, which I call "the vacuum room". They are nowhere else around my house because I never wanted anyone to come over to my house and think I was weird with all these vacuum cleaners standing around doing nothing.

They are all beautiful, but my favorite is for sure the 1978 Golden Jubilee 50th Anniversary Filter Queen. Do you think they will do a 100th?

 

[FilterQueenEthan]

I have 2 machines. A 1986 K31X with a K88 power nozzle (my grandma bought it in 1989 and gave it to me in 2013). My 2nd machine is a 1989 Majestic 95X with an AN-96 power nozzle complete with factory boxes and I have a mini power nozzle with the box. More will be coming

That Royal handheld is a beauty! I love the blue cord! My first vac was a Dirt Devil Ultra hand vac. It's at my parents and it still works.

 

[centralsweeper63]

Panasonicvac, I love the variety! Ethan, I do think you should come out with a 100th, though I won't hold my breath.

That Royal handheld is a beauty! I love the blue cord! My first vac was a Dirt Devil Ultra hand vac. It's at my parents and it still works.

I also love the blue cord, I do want to get a Windsor with the blue cord. I bought the blue hand vac NOS from an antique store on eBay, and I’ve used it a few times. I’ve been trying to hoard bags for the Royal handheld. I also had the Dirt Devil Ultra hand vac, I remember how loud it was.
I’ll post my Filter Queen!
