So we all know this videos are distasteful and unpleasant, but there is something we can do, this guy has a ton of videos involving water in vacuum cleaners, so I've been encouraging anyone who feels as I do to flag his videos as promoting dangerous and reckless activities. Its not safe, and I do wish he's just electrocute himself, but in the meantime lets all flag those videos!

water in his basin! All kidding aside, if it's the sane guy who made other videos, (how many could there be)? He's clearly "not the full shilling", no friends, anger problems,... we ALL know people like that. I WILL say.... that Electrolux came back numerous times after being smashed. He had to drop weights on it to kill it.
Still, this IS America. We cannot be responsible for the ignorance of others. I've said that before. Flagging it as being dangerous, however, is an idea. |

People with heavy mental disabilities resort to smashing shit. Also the more people needlessly smash this stuff, the less of it is left. Look at how many classic cars were crushed and destroyed in the past and how rare they are now.
Many Plymouth Superbirds were worthless in 1970 and driven into the ground, or had their wings and nosecones torn off and thrown away. Now it's a half a million dollar car restored, and still costs more than a Ferrari Enzo as a beat up barn find. Same with the Tucker coupe, insurance companies called it "deadly and dangerous" and with nobody allowed to buy it, a lot of them got destroyed. Also a very costly car today. On a smaller scale, same happens with vacuum cleaners. The more people needlessly destroy and throw out, that's one less that comes to market, shrinking the pool more and more. Then the price of remaining used ones climb higher and higher. Hell, the computer my parents bought when I was a kid, think I can try and buy that back today? It rarely comes up for sale. They all were scrapped because they were claimed to be "worthless". Just flag those vids as terroristic acts or whatever that option is on youtube and hope for the best. YouTube rarely listens to video report flags, but after that incident with Jake Paul in Japan's suicide forest a week or two ago where youtube ignored the video report flags, maybe the bad press will get them to respond more to reports. |

I remember seeing a spy movie made in the '70's where during a car chase, the hero ran his mint '63 Jaguar XKE straight into a concrete wall. I literally felt sick.

Hello All,
I so don't get it. Whoever is smashing the vacuums it does seems to look like they are doing it on their property or a place where they work. I would guess they paid for the vacuum and I am of the opinion that they can do what they want with these vacuums. I just don't see making a big deal about this. I for one could care less about this and yes I have saved a few vacuums from the trash bin and I have put a few in the trash bin. I am not trying to hurt anyone’s feeling as we are all entitled to our opinions. Well with all this being said I did buy a Hoover Convertible Model 65 that is in really poor shape, but I guess you could say I am a sucker for a sucker. I might use the green hood and the lens that came with it and many years ago Krylon made a paint call Heather or Heather Rose we used. It will never be perfect but it will go good with my Hoover RS. Thank you for looking, Pete |

~ I completely agree with Sharky's comments. There are far greater things in today's world to worry about than someone destroying THEIR OWN property.
And, as has been noted, the more attention these people get the more they're going to keep doing it. "Ignore them and they'll go away." This post was last edited 01/19/2018 at 01:06 |

This has always been a hot subject on this forum, Ive seen discussions of it get very nasty indeed. There are those on here that feel smashing anything vacuum related is an offense of the highest order. I read someone on here get there proverbial posterior reamed because they accidentally sucked up a coin in a machine and broke it. We all come from very different walks of life and have very passionate opinions on our hobby. I for one couldn't even bring myself to smash the worst vacuum in the history of the world. Since this is such a touchy subject lets all try to keep it very civil, just my two cents!

I look at it this way, regardless of a video of it they would do it anyway. Furthermore if they had not posted the videos to begin with no one would have known. That said he’s trolling for views and negative reactions for YouTube ad revenue. He’s admitted it. It’s annoying sure, but it doesn’t ruin my day.

Well, I'm no Electrolux expert, but, I did hear a motor, I did see a brushroll spinning. Maybe I'm wrong...
A LOT of people just want to get a rise out of others.............. upset them, or just showcase their ignorance or arrogance. There are several "out there". It's really sad when you think about it. As I've said numerous times, (not aiming at one particular individual), "We cannot be responsible for anyone else's ignorance, arrogance, stupidity, or bad taste". |

His videos don't bother me one bit.
Why would I care if he smashes them, fills them with water, runs over them, or drops them in a crusher? I've sent thousands of vacuums to the crusher in my decades of vacuum sales/repair. We used to hang hoovers from trees and blow them away with shotguns. For fun. When I worked for Rainbow. Those were considered trash, as they were trade-ins and we would NEVER have wanted someone else to own one. If you're going to be outraged, be outraged at something worth while. |

Hey all,
I love the freedoms that we enjoy by living in America. I understand that this individual, however warped and disturbed, has a right to do whatever he wants with his legally obtained property. That being said, I've never been able to bring myself to watch one of his videos, will never watch one of his videos, and wouldn't even want to encourage him by giving him additional views. And I won't sign up for a YouTube account, so I couldn't flag his videos if I wanted to. Just because you "can" do something, doesn't mean you "should" do it. You and I visit thrift stores looking for bargains on items that we can clean up, fix up, or pass along to someone who will give them new life. He goes to the same places, and buys the same items, so he can destroy them; insuring that nobody else will ever be able to enjoy them. One example: Inevitably, when I'm watching vacuum videos, some of his will show up in my suggestions. One vacuum that he destroyed was a hand vac called the "Busy Bee". It may be lame of me, but I sometimes buy things because I like the name. This would be one of those times. Aside from simply thinking that the name is adorable, we're small-scale, (not very good) gardeners, and love bees. I would buy one of these hand vacs in a heartbeat. However...even a Google search doesn't turn up anything except this guy's vile video. Sadly, I don't really see what can be done, other than just not giving him more views or clicks or whatever the correct term is. Unfortunately, he must have enough sick individuals who get off on this kind of thing to keep him going. Maybe, if you know where he's from, and you live nearby, just make an effort to hit as many of your local thrift stores and such before he gets there. As for me, I'm going to go give some love to my newly acquired Convertible, U4387...one of which he also destroyed, according to my YouTube suggestions. 🙁 Barry |

I just went back and re-read the post in this thread that is allegedly from the guy who makes these videos.
He claimed that he was going to take down the "vintage" videos, and post an apology. That was in January. Anyone know if he's done it? His videos are still showing up in my suggestions. Also, he claimed he never did the videos to get attention, and has been destroying things "since he was a kid." Well...I think there are a lot of questionable things that most of us did "as kids". It's called growing up. Seems like he needs to try it. Barry |

I do understand completely where everyone is coming from, hell theres some vacs i wish he wouldn't smash, but i laugh at it sometimes and most of the time it really intrests me. Showing to see how long the motor can stand up to all of the abuse, which show cases the durability of the vacuum is pretty entertaining to me, in my opinion, however, stopping them really is doing no good, there will always these vintage machines he destoryed, if not in an shop some where, it'll be on Ebay (though, the prices are a bit higher on that site) it is painful to watch for some, including me, but just get over it, its just a vacuum, yes sometimes it can be a burden to watch, but if so just click out, simple as that, lifes too short to be a bit mad over a collectable machine destoryed, i think some of the vids are awsome, some aren't for showcasing the destruction of a vintage machine but either way, isn't somthing i think we should do somthing about, just let hunter live his life the way he wants to, he probably scraps these for metal and thats just his source of income, idk, but my opinion is, just leave em' alone and let them do there thing, if there happy there happy and atleast there not beating/killing a person. Instead somthing material. Which all this killing is somthing we should do about in the world in general. But this is a vacuum place, not a facebook, but theres just my 2 cents, nobody take this too personal, which i dont think no one will, just new here so don't want any trouble
