This all depends on a few things here. But at the risk of being a bad influence I'll go ahead and say it. If you have your own money and a means of getting the machine home on your own I'd just do it and sneak it into the house. Let it sit around inconspicuously for a while before using it when they're home so it looks familiar and not new. Now however if you're depending on them for money that's different. The best bet if you really do want it bad, let go of something you don't care as much for. Just my suggestions.

Hi jord123. I know I'm going to sound like the 63 year old curmudgeon that I am, and probably get a lot of flack for what I'm about to say. However, I didn't buy a single vacuum cleaner in my collection till I could pay for it myself. Ask my family to get me one? I never thought of it. I would not be that cheeky! But once I started working, I saved up and bought my favorite Electrolux. The model LX (which was 15 years old and in a used vacuum shop). The joy of buying your own vacuum cleaners is wonderful.
Alex Taber.

Hi jord123. That's the way to do it. Wash cars, rake leaves, mow lawns, help paint a friends house. I did all of those to earn my own money. But vacuum cleaners were expensive, even the used ones. Aside from the Electrolux model LX I bought myself because I loved it and it was only $30.00, I bought it. But the first serious vacuum cleaner was a non electric for $75.00 from a good friend of mine named John Meloney. When he retired, he opened Elderberry antiques in New Hampshire. John got me all my early non electrics, as well as the Whirlwind that dates back to 1869. But the first was called the Lakeside, and it dates back to 1890. Here's a picture of it.
I admire anybody who ears his own stuff, way to go!
