What does your Vacuum Store look like? |

I always thought most vacuum dealers would decorate their store to attract customers into looking at their products. So just for fun I decided I wanted to show where I currently go to now and see what they have in the inside of their store and very curious to see what everyone else's looks like.
So my store is a Simplicity, Lindhaus, Carpet pro, Fuller brush, Sanitaire, Maytag (hear they may not sell that brand for much longer), and Hoover dealer. They used to sell Royal, Riccar, Eureka, Dirt Devil, and Bissell (They quit selling a month now) a long time ago. I like it but I wish my old vacuum store was still in business. There's another store in my town that's only a Sanitaire dealer and I never like that place so I will never go there again. | ||

LOL
"My local vacuum shop looks like a Goodwill" We have some like that here too.
I have another favorite vacuum store from when I lived in Madison, it's called St. Vincent DePaul.- Dig and Save. Vacs are $5. Problem is when I asked the clerk how much they charge for repairs they said they don't do that. (?) Oh, they also sell other stuff, too..... don't know what's up with that.

Mike- I agree about shopping online. When I restarted my vacuum collection in October 2015, most all of it has been from online activity. I'm so grateful. Wish I had that years ago.
Stan- I always forget about those. It's not my genre'. I'm guessing we have those too. I guess my point is pre-Aerus Electrolux and some of the smaller brands like Filter Queen, Airway, etc.
A vac store that has been owned by the same person for 35 years, I was talking with him about changes. He says the small stores are evaporating at an alarming rate, and the people he used to get his used stock from, like Kirby dealers are also disappearing. Frankly, I'm amazed anyone would pay more than a few hundred for a new Kirby.
I wonder if Eureka, Hoover, and Kenmore were ever sold Door to door.

Hoover was sold DTD Before the late 50s. | ||

Richard, I forgot the best store for used vacuums, Salvation Army. There is also another weekend flea market on ten mile close to Dequindre east of it. | ||

Mike:
There are three Triple A vacuum shops in St. Louis (South County, North Lindberg, O'Fallon) that I know of. Also, on-line shopping might be easy and convenient, but how do you get the vacuum back into the computer when it needs to be fixed? When I had my vacuum sales/repair store - I used to get VERY angry at people who bought their vacuum on-line, but expected ME to fix it. No effing way! Get your damn computer to fix it. | ||

I suppose it's possible, However it kind of defeats the purpose of trying it out before you buy, to truly understand what you're getting. | ||
