Who has ....

[dustin]

Who has vacuums with family or sentimental value? I have 2 of them that I will NEVER get rid of, one is a Eureka 1934A (It belonged to my Grandma who passed away in 1999) and the other one is a red Dirt Devil plus upright(belonged to my Grandpa and Grandma, Grandpa gave it to me in 2005 or 2006, and unfortunately Grandma passed away this April.

My biggest family vac is my Gram's 1992 Hoover Concept One U3335. I used that thing more than she did lol

 

[shanonabc]

I have an Electrolux D735... Was bought by Mum year before she had me...

Never use it but won't get rid of it...

I have 4 My Lux model E, My Kirby 1CR , My Saniaire and My Hoover 800/Special 825 because my grandparents either had owned these at one point or found them for me

Hi All! I have 5. Lux G, turquoise, Lux G tan, Lux E, Filter Queen 31, and Hoover DAM. The FQ is my fav because it was my Great-Grandmother's. The rest were Great Aunt's and parents of family members.

my grandma had an Electrolux 1401B (olympia)I now have both early and later versions that I acquired by a couple of great friends, also my Hoover Elite , my grandfather had one and after he passed on my father acquired it with the house, unfortuneately I never see my father so I foud a machine of my own. although it may not hold the same memories, it is the same model and will hold some

 

[electroluxxxx]

I don't have the exact one, but....

I have a similar Model 28 Hoover that my parents had when I was a kid. One of the best darn vacuums ever made.

 

[arh1953]

I have my mom's last vacuums

One is a black plastic Eureka The Boss upright with onboard tools, and a Boss canister, also black plastic. They both perform very well for 21 year old machines.

 

[tommymilan]

me? first of all I never got rid of any of the vacs in my collection. for what I recall there are some vacuums I've been fond of when I was child, some of which were been used in my house, others were at relatives's and friends's homes and some that I saw been used in schools and in shops
and they all are now in my collection:vorwerk kobold vk 117,hoover dial-a-matic (white and yellow), hoover heavy duty U 7008, Hoover constellation mod 867 in different colours and EU Luxes D 728-730.

Heritage II that my parents bought brand new back in the 80s. I now own this vacuum, and it still runs great!

Electrolux olympia

Everyone in my family knows it is willed to me and I will kill them for it. Also she still has the orange celebrity I used when I was a kid. I have pictures of me using it in diapers.

[eurekaprince]

I sold my family's beloved Eureka 2083 Rugulator upright

many years ago when I needed the cash....stupid me...several years later when I asked the friend who bought it where it is, he said he threw it out!

I have nightmares of "Goldie" stashed all cold and broken in some dumpster somewhere.....

 

[vinvac]

My mom's Kirby model 508. Rebuilt several times in it's history, but still one of the best vacuums in my collection.

[thermokid]

I have all three of my mothers vacuums that she bought in her lifetime.1. Hoover Model 28 with all the attachments 2. Kirby model 561 and all the attachments (she didn't use that one very long said it was to heavy) 3. Electrolux model automatic G. Then after these I kept giving her my old Electroluxs whenever I would get a new one..1. Electrolux Super J 2. Electrolux Silverado 3. Electrolux Renaissance..She was a Electrolux Lady most all of her years starting with the Automatic G....

I have the Hoover Constellation that belonged to my Grandma Wood, along with it's original hose. Many (if not all) of the attachments have gone missing, however. The machine itself is still running just like it did the day she and Grandpa bought it.

I also have Grandma's Hoover 28 -- even though it's not the EXACT one that she had. I had that one for a while, foolishly got rid of it -- and then years later found the one that I presently have in a local thrift store that wasn't even in business when I got rid of Grandma's cleaner!

I've included here a link to a video of my 28 that I posted on YouTube:
