Checkrate/Likes Hello to all ! I've just joined the forum after lurking for a while & looking at the pic's & threads. I don't claim to be any sort of expert on vacuums but my interest (& very modest collection) is certainly growing, so I figure i'm in the right place here. Dave

Checkrate/Likes Welcome Dave, I know you will have fun here, as well as learning from the experts. I had roughly ten years in the vacuum business and a lifetime of interest... and I learn new things all the time. This is a great place to learn, explore and exchange ideas and interests. Again, Welcome. Justin

Checkrate/Likes Hi Thanks for the warm welcome. My collection at the moment consists of our old house Miele S251i from the 90's (superb machine that never misses a beat) & my recently acquired Numatics. We bought a new Henry recently as I just wanted one & it's rather gone on from there.. I now have a cream & brown Henry & a couple of commercial type ones & i'm looking for more (particularly a David). I think the interest in vacuums probably has always been there as I remember well the Hoover Constellation & 1st series Hoover Senior we had when I was a boy. The Senior was a creamy grey with pink trim (I think) & had a footswitch that stuck out, having googled it & looked on here, it looks like the first type (it was bought circa 1960). It was beast - wish mum still had it ! Cheers Dave
