Hey look buddy....
We don't go for no "same kooky collector" business around here. We're all serious, OCD, single minded, vacuum nuts ......and don't forget it.
Actually, I think I've crossed the 40th vacuum to my collection today. I can't believe how quickly they add up. I started my recent collection back in October. It was my second Electrolux Legacy that did it.
BTW- you have some colorful Hoovers there. I love the Hoover colors from the 60s to the 80s.

Yep,
Brandon, I've been there. I've had about 4 collections in my life. The most recent one was in 2002. I had upwards of 50 vacs then which I had amassed in merely a matter of a couple of months.... without the help of Ebay or online support.
I wish I had back EVER Vacuum I ever owned.
Can I ask, what happened? Why'd you get rid of them. | ||

You have a pretty sweet collection there Brando.
I see some good Hoovers there as well, nice! Welcome back aboard? I'm still fairly new to this site myself. LOL However the guys here have been great. My parents use a Kirby Diamond G as their daily driver since they bought it new. As for me, I've been daily driving my Hoover model 700 that I recently repaired. I'm mostly a Hoover guy but I do love Electrolux machines as well. -Alex

Thanks! Your machines look great too! Nice 450 you have there and your 700 appears to have the original bumper as well.
This photo is rather old, since then I've done some small things like find a new bag thanks to a friend and also replaced the cord. Still much to do, but money is quite tight with these projects.

Thanks Phillip. That's about the only thing holding this 31 back from being near perfect | ||

I think I'll be retiring the Kirby as a daily and using the 65 and 63 daily. They run like new. | ||
