I took a tour of the factory in Saint James Missouri and I was impressed by how the vacuum was made and painted. They have a awesome vacuum museum!!! Has anyone else been there? |

"some Tom fellow I hear he frequents the area".
So funny! I hear he frequents it daily - and they give him a paycheck to do so. Biggly! Plus health insurance, a 401K, profit sharing, life insurance, etc. And all he does all day long is talk about HIS vintage vacuum cleaners that are on display. What a terrible job for a vacuum cleaner collector. To be forced by your job to meet the public and talk about vacuums - and get paid for it - that must be the worst job in the world. |

Tom Gasko is the most knowledgeable man about all vacuum brands and their histories and achievements who is living today.
I've seen him welcome strangers into the museum and with genuine enthusiasm take them through the history of our beloved machines.
He's almost single handedly keeping the fire burning.
Thanks Tom for all you do everyday!
We love and admire you!

I thought it was cool. Its broken up into eras. Definitely a blast from the past. Sorry I didn't get to meet you Tom! I probably would have stood there and talked about vacuums all day long, LOL. |

He has worst job in the world. They moved his desk to the basement and he threatened to burn down the building.
He also called gotta get a Hoover an idiot. He definitely has multiple personalities. He is mean on internet and sarcastic. He wants to burn down the building and the vacuum museum is probably outsourcing parts and selling off museum collection and hopefully it's all done before they move his desk again. Seriously I'm guessing Tom gasko could give two somethings to anything to do with me I don't blade him if I were him I understand why. So no love lost. I do want to meet Tom just to prove I'm a nice guy and English and posting isn't my strong subjects but I'm very intelligent more so than my shoddy posts. Well that is all. Les |

I do believe at this point you are stirring the pot in a public forum and it would be to your advantage to not say anything at all. |

Very childish. Would've expected more from Vacuumland. Why does it seem every misunderstanding or slight difference of opinion on here has to turn into some petty argument? Is it necessary to turn these threads into places of hostility and sensitivity? This should be a place of fun and enjoyment, but when you pollute the threads with this type of content it ruins it for everyone. All you guys do is instigate argument by leaving sarcastic replies to peoples posts instead of discussing things like adults, and hell I learned to do that in 2nd grade. If you would like to complain to each other, feel free to do so privately in e-mails or another form of communication, as I'm sure I speak on EVERYONES behalf when I say we could do without this immaturity. No disrespect to anyone, however I am just tired of reading this type of content on a forum intended to bring collectors together. I understand nobody gets along with everyone, but you don't need to display it publicly.

I have seen posts from dysonman every so many times a month about vacuums from the museums collection being offered for sale, so it makes me wonder if it is closing up too.
I can't imagine it doesn't get any revenue as you just google the name and you get thousands upon thousands of posts from people saying they loved it and it was the most unique museum they ever saw. I don't think I seen one negative remark about it. |

I quoted office space. I'm not stirring the pot. He said a sarcastic remark and I replied sarcastically.
Electroluxx you do realize trying to call me out every couple months is quite routine. If you didn't get office space movie from 1999 watch it the quote was quite appropriate. Trolling other people trying to question ethics. It's laughable. I made amends with tom. I don't reply to his posts and he doesn't mine. So stirring the pot I am not. I respect enough to not get carried away and basically stalk him like you do so with me. I really don't care what you think. I wasted a whole night over a display box. We both were wrong and texaskirbyguy made us look like fools. I'm not pretending to know everything. I don't think I'm better than anyone. I worry about myself and try to be helpful. I just wish you would stop trilling my posts. It's like hall monitor going to give me a speeding ticket. I try to help people. I may not be precise with my answers as I haven't dealt with specific machines. My advice is well advised and helpful. If I have specific knowledge I go into detail. Thanks for letting me know this is a public forum. I wasn't aware you cared so much about my thoughts to comment back. I really appreciate it but maybe the part of my post about worrying about yourself and help others is something you could ponder. I really wish you would we're in public and people read what we post. To Tom I really don't have to say much. We have an understanding. I do appreciate your curtness and wish you well. Les |

I would like to thank SO MANY members for their kindness, numerous emails, calls, etc that poured in this week, after a very sad, embarrassing, mean-spirited post was made about me. (I) wasn't embarrassed at all. But. And, thank you, Robert, for pulling it from the forum. The world is full of bad things. We don't need to add to it, right?
We cannot be responsible for other people's actions, and, I do not plan to ever address those who'd thrive on nasty actions, etc. To tie in to vacuums.... I've been to 2 vac museums. It is nice to see models, learn the history, see the advancement of the4 industry, etc., with correct and accurate information. Although, as most of you know, I'm "All things Hoover". However, if you've ever seen pics from my (rather fun and successful, I must admit) mini meets, you'll see that I welcome other collectors AND their foreign species)to me) in my home. I AM sorry that anyone had to witness anything distressing in here, however. I appreciate so many of you. Please know that. |

I saw the 'official announcement that The Vacuum Cleaner Museum IS closing and will cease to exist. The last and final day of operation will be FRIDAY. This is printed on official letterhead. Their 'focus' will now be on their 'brand'. Just thought I'd convey this news to those who'd miss the announcement. I've spent more time on this than ever intended. I'll never get those minutes back.
There's your factual accuracy. "All gone". |

Thank you for that apology... if it was partly meant for me.
I DO try to always report facts. I hope you realize that now. There IS more to the story... a few facts are not here. I'M NOT going to be the one to fill in the blanks. But, there is more than is being public knowledge. Not my business, not my place. Other info, facts will be made clear, eventually. But, not by me. I have neither the time, nor the interest. But, thanks, Jimmy. |

I understand you don't have time. Others who keep trolling this thread looking ftcrumbs seem to have time.
If someone wanted call tacony ask for chief operation officer. Tell him what you have heard and ask off the record what he/she believes will happen. If you have time. You could solve the mystery I personally don't care much about. If it's something you need to know do it. If not stop this rambling over dumb ish. It's like this thread is a zombie keeps coming back with no brains. Les |
