I have been re arranging the vacuums in my bedroom, which is where I keep nearly all of them, there is probably about 20 in there, including the ones in the wardrobes and then there are a couple on the landing, one in the hall downstairs, a few in the shed, a couple in the garage and a few in the loft! So in all I probably have about 34 and considering that about 20 of them are in my bedroom, which is the small box room, I don't think I have done half bad. I have one of those high sleepers so I can get them under the bed and with a lot of them stood on their bumpers, I can fit a lot more in. I do need to stop collecting for a little while, I only have room for one or two more! I could do with a bit of a clear out, but NONE of the HOOVERS will be leaving me, not yet anyway. :P Here are some of them in my room after a bit of re arranging, also, please feel free to post pictures of what your collection looks like in there "storage" places. |

Well at least with the SEBO you can take it apart and put it in a sports bag. If there are other uprights that can do that, at least you're making better space. Any chance of putting any uprights under an open bed/bedstead frame if you have one? I used to do that with my cylinder vacuums, at push able to get 8 of them under there or 2 with 2 uprights.

Ryan, I shouldn't think it would damage them by standing them on end, I have all the Turbo 2's stood on end for a couple of reasons - 1, They are so fat and take up to much room and 2, they are practically built out of rock! They aren't gonna break :p
I would like to have them stood upright, but I just don't have the space. Steve, yes, my mother demands no more as they are "in her way" and plus, I know I need to slow downn for stotage sake, but do I want to? HELL NO! There are LOADS of vacs that still NEED to be in my possesion!!!! |

They may be more space than you think Alex. Try the arrangement you have and if it doesn't work, then try another one :) Btw, madabouthoovers that Orange Sanyo upright looks really nice! :D |

That Sanyo looks so much like a Panasonic, but then again, they are the same company. |

Ohh, no matter where I put them they are still "in her way" they can be in the corner of the room and she will still find a way of tripping over them!!
Going off at a tangent, but I just LOVE the way my dad keeps helping himself to my Henry to suck up DIY mess in the kitchen! Glad I have got my 90's Henry locked away in my wardrobe! I swear if I catch him using any of my uprights he will be for it!!!!! |
