Today is a very special day today (well for me atleast) because... This day, in 2012 8 years ago, at this exact time of making this, i made my very first VL post! So i am going to celebrate by posting photos of my new collection! Photos will be posted in a 2nd post since i use my moms phone to get the best HQ pics!

same here!
this is a place where my childhood intrests thrived and turned me into the person i am today really, ive found out so much info about vacuum cleaners, i surprise my friends and family with the knowledge i gained from this very site. Espescailly my friends, they saw my F&G collection against they wall and one of my friends exclaimed "I LOVE THESE", prior to that he sent me a text of what vacuum he was getting, a new cordless Hoover Air from Target, like 73 dollars i remember but none the less i said were not doing that, and offered to find him a vacuum like my F&G from the thrift store, because it saves money, and they can get something older thats easy for me to work on if they break by any chance, since they know how i work on vacuums like nothing they said if i pick out a vacuum for them, if i could go through it, work on it and give it to them for their place there getting, i said no problem! because i wouldnt have gained this knowledge without this site! And i already told them not to pick up anything hard at all like nails, screws, pennys etc so theyll know how to treat an F&G too so dont worry, no vacuums will be runied on my watch, unless there junk that needs scrapping. Sorry for the novel!

I got into a vacuum collecting kick back in 2012, when I wasn't working and then when I had started working, but had more free time. I found quickly that vacuums take up a decent amount of space. So, I've had to curb that a bit, and I didn't collect any for a while. But in the last year I found a couple dream machines and had to add them to the collection.
My main collectible is fans - hence my username, but sometimes good ones are hard to find. I got on a kick in the last few years of small kitchen appliances like mixers, which don't take as much space. But like superocd above, I'd also like to collect appliances, both household and commercial but that's not feasible, and probably won't happen. Eventually I'd like to get a house with no appliances and outfit it with some of my favorites from the 80s or 90s and have a detached shop for working on stuff or storage. But that's down the road, if it ever happens. A display room for my fans would be nice too. | ||

Vacuums have always had a fascination that stuck with me ever since i was a baby, fans and appliances like stoves, fridges, and etc.. are a thing ive wanted to collect, but there is no room where i live lol, i know there would be no way i could, so i don't think about it. I remember the first apartment we moved into when i was 5 had a really nice Kenmore oven from early 80's, i think it had the analog clock in the middle so it may have been late 70's early 80's i always had an interest in that oven. And my dad has this black and red Honeywell fan that looks real nice, i might ask him about that and see if he'll let me take it since he has plenty of other fans im sure, we had it growing up so im sure its not of much use as it probably just sits on his basement step caked in dust if i remember correctly. All in all, i miss those appliances, and vacuums take up soo much space, tell me about it lool.
