Since I wasn't able to invite the entire Vacuum Land site to a mini-meet (and didn't want to publicize it before hand to make people feel bad), I decided to share the pictures of a FABULOUS Mini-Meet that happened on February 2nd.
Folks arrived at the Vacuum Cleaner Museum for a brief tour before leaving to go to my house for a homemade Dinner and to play with Vacuums. The 1970's greeted everyone when they arrived.

My husband Donnie (blue shirt) explaining the way Fuller Brush is going to transition to Simplicity machines. Robert and Miss Bob are listening closely.

You never know who is going to stop by the Vacuum Cleaner Museum and "get sucked in".
This is Adam Mercer presenting one of MY Kirby G2001 models to a lady vacuum collector who flew from New Jersey to come to the Museum. She currently has a Sebo X-4 but has always wanted a Kirby. We made her wish come true. And at no cost to her. I love making people happy.

My husband Donnie (blue shirt) demonstrating the Fuller Brush Mighty Maid to newbie vacuum collector William, whom we just met for the first time. He had no idea about the Mini Meet and came to the Museum for the first time to see all the vacuums. He was "blown away".

Robert loves this huge monstrosity of an Electrolux. And, I have a bunch of bags plus the rubber seals are still intact. Full cleaning power. I love how all four wheels adjust.

As a Kirby collector, William loved the Vacuette Wireless, the first cleaner ever made by Scott and Fetzer (1919). He was also fascinated by the 1895 "US" vacuum with the egg beater crank that turns the fan.

Robert LOVES the Tornado twin-motor model. The brush is driven by its own separate motor with a lifetime belt. Rare for commercial machines.

Made in Italy, this Tornado is quiet, has great suction, and an awesome brush roller. So quick and easy to use.

After I got home at 5:00 pm, I made dinner for 10 people. Fried Chicken, String Beans with sautéed Mushrooms, Onions, and Bacon, Pasta with homemade Marinara sauce, Homemade buttermilk biscuits. Not shows is the Queen of Sheba Chocolate Cake and the French Vanilla Ice Cream that was scooped onto the hot cake just out of the oven.

Now, let's play with Vacuums. First UP is the Sunbeam canister from 1968 with it's blue fabulousness.

Miss Bob gave me a Sanitaire Upright, made by Electrolux. I love it, and I love my friends. We always share with each other.

The four row brush roller of the Sanitaire really sweeps and beats, without beater bars. The top fill HEPA bag keeps everything in. Bags are best. Bags will always be best!

I love my Patriot. It's such a good vacuum and maneuvers better than a Compact/TriStar.

Robert loves the S shaped wand. It really makes cleaning easier. All canister vacuums should have this wand.

The Filter Fresh quiets the machine down and provides HEPA level filtration. Love it.

Ultimately, it's always back to the old Housewife's lament: Slave as you May - The Dirt Remains.
