what's on your wish list?

[vacuumfreeeke]

Hey guys, just wondering what machines are on your wish list or if you have found/gotten them since the last time we discussed this?

I have two.... One is the Sebo X4, I don't know why I like it.... hard case, plastic, but alas I do! The other is the baby Dyson Canister... the DC 26.... I think it is just so cute, I haven't gotten any vacuums in a while and I only have one other Dyson (DC 14), so I think it's about time..... I'm going to start shopping. The price I find is 399, and Best Buy is the only local retailer I have found that sells it... Sears may have it but that would be a bit of a drive and if they have the same price, it wouldn't do any good to drive for it. They are too new for me to have found any used on Craig's List yet... part of me says to wait because Big Lots usually gets some Dyson refurbs after the model has been out for a while, but I still think these are too new and I really want it! Do any of you have either of these, and what do you think?

What's on your "list"?

Definitely a Miele S5


Or the Dyson Motorhead.


They are just both so.... Sexy.


I would be torn to choose between the two.

 

[joshdonnell]

what's the name of that miele s5 i never saw it

 

[bagintheback]

I'd really like to get an A-Bag Hoover Convertible or Decade. But I don't want one shipped to me; I want to find it somewhere like a Goodwill. That would totally make my day. I also want to try a Singer/Kenmore twin fan. I even had a dream once that I found a bagless twin-fan at a thrift-store, which doesn't exist! That happens alot with my dreams, finding vacuums that don't exist. But anyway, finding any vintage Hoover or Eureka would be great.

 

[brandon_w_t]

Hey Josh, that striking machine is the Miele S5981 Continuum. Priced at about $1,200 too.

I think its close to top of the line in the S5 series.

 

[vacuumboy1993]

Mine would be any Japnese vacuums like National Panasnic, Hitachi, Toshiba, etc. from the 60s-90s, they really catch my attention.

 

[eurekaprince]

Well...a few weeks ago I caved in and bought myself an Electrolux UltraSilencer Green canister vac to replace my floor-blowing TTI Hoover Constellation. And I am sooooo happy with this new vac! It is one of the quietest canisters I have ever used, very powerful and I just love the simple, unencumbered long hose handle! I also love the fact that it only draws 9 amps of power and is made from recycled materials.

It is a wonderful companion to my fantastic Hoover Tempo Upright.

My only gripe is the colour! It is mostly black and because of this, it kind if disappears into the darkness of my closet like a phantom! But I'll get used to that.

Here are some pics from the web:

[jfalberti]

I only have two left to find

I want a Hoover convertible or Decade 80, and a Hoover Constellation. That would round out my collection.

 

[lovecanisters]

I would love to find/purchase a TOL or MOL 1975 Kenmore Powermate Canister in the Apple/Celery Green, I'm not too specific, am I? Heck, I would be happy with a nice TOL/MOL Kenmore Powermate Canister from 1975-1983. I have the 1980 "Sears Best" Powermate Canister and love it, an ebay find a few years back...love love love it...I would love to find hoover celebrity and spirit canisters as well from the late 70's to late 80's before changing to the top swivel hose...like the futura/spectrum line in the 90's... ahhh it's nice to dream haha

 

[kirbykid63]

I got all I want

I now have my patriot,and I have owned all the vacs I wanted to try.I think I will focus on refurbishing and selling machines and parts and growing my eBay bus.

[vacuumfreeeke]

Interesting responses... I hope we all get what we are looking for!

I find it interesting that some people have put a cap on their collection.... you say you only want a few more and that's it.... I don't have any specific vacuums in mind that I am looking for, but I think think I could ever say that I have all the ones I want... they are always coming out with new stuff or I'm seeing old stuff that looks good that I don't have.... I think collecting for me is a life long thing and I will never be "done".

 

[jfalberti]

Well, I'm capping mine because

of space limitations. Several of the vacs in my permanent collection are vacs from childhood memories. These are machines that someone would have to pry from my cold dead fingers before I would willingly give them up. I do have a few that I never thought I would buy, but were in such great shape, and the price was right, that I couldn't resist. I live in a small one bedroom apartment with limited storage, so I am at a point that soon for more to come in, others would have to leave. I have room for a couple more, and once I find them, I will have to think really hard about what I would give up to bring in any more.

@John, Thanks man. I totally understand about shipping charges. I'm sure if I keep my eyes open, I'll eventually find the Constellation and convertible.

It's going to be a while before I can add anything more to my collection however. I found out last week, I'm going to be going into the hospital for surgery, and will be there at least 5 days, plus down however long for recovery afterwards. So I won't be adding anything new for a while.

[kenmore81]

This Kenmore in any color. This was made by Ryobi it also came in singer version. It is similar in a way to the early 80's Singer golden (I think ).
I had a yellow one for about a year my dad bought for me new for 40 bucks on clearence, 9 months later we took it for a mantaince check ( we thought we bought the Sears M/A) Sears didnt say when we dropped it off that it wasn't covered. They replaced the bag drawer and some wheels for a total of 65 bucks, Mom was like keep it lol. My cousin had the blue one they also had a red, light grey/white with P/N and singer had b red on beige with P/N. They must have been junk but I liked mine and cousin used hers to death it lasted 7/8 years but sooo used lol. I can't beleve i've never come across one anywhere lol.

[atrac]

Oh how I'm itching for a Vita-Vac or an Air-Way! I see them on the bay but they're always missing the hose and attachments. I'd like to use mine (although staring at one without using it is still tempting -- they're gorgeous!)
