Vintage vs new
I can certainly relate to what you're saying when it comes to using old vacuums or new ones. I have a Hoover bagless upright that I use on the rare occasion, but when I do, it's boring, mundane housework. On the other hand, when I pull out my Electrolux Super J or Olympia One, I am magically transported back to when I was a kid and so excited to get to help my mom run the sweeper. I think it's the nostalgia of using an older vacuum that makes them so special, for me that had a big hand in me even starting collecting in the first place!

So true I love to use my old 511 Kirby reminds me of how Mom would get after me to vacuum before the company came some 55 or 60 years ago Doug | ||

I do this! As good as my Miele S5 works, I get more enjoyment using a turbopower, or the 119. My baby daughter likes the junior more too! | ||

They Lack STYLE and METAL!, just like all the new appliances, all stoves and fridges look the same, it used to be a Frigidaire was totally different from a Norge and it was nothing like a Westinghouse..ETC. | ||
