It could well be my age of course, but I found it not offensive, more quite disturbing. | ||

to all you guy's
Listen guy's i love my vacuums as much as you all do it is a joke!! , an exaggeration of us with a few little bits of us thrown in.
I often get taken the mickey out of but i take it with a pinch of salt!!! meaning its nothing to worry about i love my vacuums as much as the next man on here. God i thought most of you would see the funny side of this, It is only a joke and over the top video, which i thought might actually make people laugh on here. My grand parents always said to me if you can laugh at your self, you have conquered everything in life. Please do be aware that this is a joke .This is simply a laugh. I thought this might be fun for all of us clearly i was wrong. I must say my fellow vacuum enthusiasts in my home town, I have not had an issue with this and have emailed this to one another because we knew it was a joke . From now on i wont bother to post humorous video's , I am sorry for the offence this has caused. I must say i think this has caused me to wonder with the exception of a good couple of friends if perhaps i should leave the site for such a negative response. I really thought this might make us all laugh,and humour is something from time to time we all need. | ||

hi sensotronic
Thank you for your kind words
if we don't have humor, what do we have i say,its good to have a laugh at times for anyone to seriously take offence is beyond me. God life is hard at times for most, if you cant have a laugh at times at things well its rather sad i say. Me personally i love the video and think its very funny and its clearly obvious to most its just one joke, and only meant as such. In the acting profession i do believe they call it a parody which means an over the top exaggeration picking on high lights of something to make others laugh. LOL but for the fear of causing problems on here i do not think i will post any further video's of a similar nature. I shall be dead serious from now on lol, and leave the funny side of life to you tube God one would think i broke the holy grail from some people lol have a good day sensotronic | ||

As am American, I don't understand all the hoopla over the new energy regulations. We never had vacuums that uses nearly so much electricity as Europe, yet our vacuums are extremely powerful. And, they have to clean thicker carpets. Our 1200 watt canisters have more than 100 inches of water lift. I think it's perfectly reasonable to use vacuums with lower electrical draw.

hi vacuumssuck123
Well all collecting has some degree of obsession its only bad if it takes over your life.
As for collecting in my case a few vintage collectibles that happen to be vacs i see nothing wrong with that, machines in my case from the 1920s to 1960 cut off point for me are no different or less iconic that collecting perhaps electric vintage desk fans. The most iconic things in the home are often the type writer the electric desk fan the Telephone and the fridge and the record player the radio, the gramaphone If people cant see that a vacuum from 1930s is not collectible and of interest then they are simply stupid. All of those items have designs that represent the decade they were made in, if the ordinary person cant see the value of an elderly appliance such those mentioned they are surely very silly indeed. If people did not collect such things there would be no antiques of the future and any specimens for the future to be had, or even donated to museums. Yes there are people who do have mental difficulty that do collect vacuums but then such people also collect other things such as bottle caps and so on. There are many vacuums that have much art deco inspired design that in itself are a work of art along with other contemporary products of a similar time. These products were also designed by famous designers and engineer's something that is worth preserving. For the average dummy who wishes to use a few examples of taring all with the same brush clearly has no foresight or understanding of the value of historic items. To consider all vacuum collectors as having mental problems is rather blind, and perhaps they should actually study something before passing comment and check out the prices on ebay and antique shops before passing on ignorant comments. I have a fare few electric fans from 1912 to 1940 they are going up all the time, seems to me i will be having a good investment for the little i paid.They can only go up and so will vacuums in years to come. Along with my fans i have a hoover 800 a hoover 825 and an early dustette 100 and now a lovely art 1930s deco electrolux z25 A few cameras of the age along with some 1920s telephones an hmv 102 in red and my newest vac a 1960 electrolux z65 which is my cleaner for use.I will stretch to a hoover senior for daily use and thats me done. I would like a 1950s fridge duke boxed shaped for my beers I see no obsession here but simply investing my money and showing some good taste of an era now long gone. I see no mental issue for me with that, and all are investments for the future.My message to people who can not see the value of these things is check out ebay! THE money value says it all for all the above items. Of course if people are worried, they could always through out their desirable antique vacs and collect other antiques and vintage collectible's instead leaving nothing for the future generations or museums. | ||

vacuumssuck123
So should i throw away my lovely electrolux 25 is it worth less as an historical item than the gorgeous General electric vortalex from 1938 no is the answer both are in my mind are items of beauty and design.
That fan is going up all the time and the vac in year's to come will do the same. In fact if anyone were to say that z25 was not collectible made of fabulous materials eg baker lite chrome on brass by royal appointment badge, would be rather stupid. Along with the deco printed fabric design on the body and of course highly polished aluminium.Materials you just dont see any more. Vac's are now demanding attention in collector's shops some antique stores and im sure they will only go up in value and be thought of as much as any other collector's item. Im bloody proud to own my vacs , all i get is very positive results from none vac collector's However if i start sleeping in bed with my 25 i think i might book an appointment with the Dr lol,but until then im as normal as i wanna be

nice video
I found the video funny and enjoied it very much. Yes, it jokes with stereotypes ( the stupid questions of the interviewer are absolutely perfect ! ). Like many stereotypes, it also contains some bitter truths that - as I can see on this page - are not much appreciated by everyone ( who also still keep saying that collecting vacuum cleaners is normal, that they have an absolutely normal social life, etc ) : the truth is that most of us vacuum collectors are quite "uncommon" or lets say "extra-ordinary" guys . In my case, that's my pride and joy !
Cheers from Italy, GUIDO P.S. Mark Anthony , where did you get that wonderful GE Vortalex fan !? It's from USA I suppose ! It's a marvel !!!!!! | ||

I thought it was hilarious and laughed out loud several times. I knew it was all in good jest but I have to admit, I have met some vac collectors that reminded me of this guy................
Lighten up world, we are only passing this way once and it isn't for a long period of time. These are machines that pick up dirt. People don't get this passionate about a coffee maker! | ||

hi guido
Hi Guido

Guido i have seen some of your vac collection on here there just amazing really are. I envy your hoover 160 you bought from England,very very nice too | ||
