What do you do when you have many vacuums...and you like to use them all? Rotate your use of each one so that none are left out! haha Here, I have one on each level of the house....that way, I get to use more of my collection...throughout the year! Eureka Mighty Mite, Royal 801, and Filter Queen70th Anniversary. I"m mostly an upright vac fan, but I appreciate the canisters ( have a Royal, Rainbow, Electrolux, and Filter Queen). Do many of you on this site do something similar as this... to get to use more of your collection more often? K |

I have realized that they can’t throw my favorite Vacuums into the coffin with me. So I am going to use them while I am still alive. And if I use them up It makes no difference. How am I going to actually get all the use out of almost 550 vacuum cleaners before I die? I have 29 vacuum cleaners at home and over 500 at work, in the museum.

Yep. I have one vacuum in each bedroom, each left out on display, one for the lounge & hall, the showpeice, and the floor-polisher in the kitchen.
So it doesn't look like a vacuum cleaner factory in any one place, they all get seen, and used in-turn. It used to be considered good etiquette to hide-away such appliances (normally the cupboard under the stairs) so there was no visible signs of how the magic cleaning happened. But these are too good for that. Our mum used to get in a panic if we had company coming and we'd left a duster somewhere, or the vacuum out. She said it'll look as though we've just cleaned up for their visit. I'd say "But Mum, we have". Didn't go down well. |

I have a variety for my usual cleaning as well. A Hoover Concept 2 Electronic manages the den, a Royal 888 in the living room, a Hoover 700 for the Dining Room, another Concept for all upstairs. A Royal 501 hand vac does the stairs, couches, etc. My Airway 88 handles all the bare floors, or sometimes I use the Delco.

I do this as well! I have a Eureka Superbroom for the hard floors and throw rugs, a Royal Prince for the cat tree and stairs, and, since I keep a percentage of my collection in the dormer upstairs, I usually switch them out alot up there.

I have vacuums on display in every room of the house except the bathroom. It's grab and go anywhere you are! I tend to favor my Miele upright when I'm in a hurry because it can go between hard floor and carpet with the flick of a switch and auto height adjusts. But, I enjoy using my Miele Capricorn, Filter Queen, Sebo X4, Sanitaire S661, Hoover Portapower, and of course, any one of my many MANY Kirbys, all retrofitted to HEPA bags. LOVE seeing them on display and LOVE using them all.
