Michael came all the way from New York to see The Vacuum Museum. He started with the Hoovrah 800. It was Stan Kann’s. And look, he didn’t even have to wear blue gloves to touch it. He is having a blast. We are going to turn new Hoover convertible hoods upside down and fill them with pretzels.

Michael trying out the electronic self-propelled concept two. He is bringing it back home for Joe Kassock. It is a gift. This one came right out of the museum and is going right to his hands. Something to remember the vacuum cleaner museum by. Enjoy it in good health Joe.

St. Louis style pizza is unique. Found nowhere else. It is a very thin crust with a slightly sweet sauce and you can taste every single one of the toppings. Perfection in pizza.

St. Louis is also known for its deep fried ravioli and meat sauce for dipping. Yum Yum.

Playing with the Dyson ReCyclone fitted with a Perfect Power Nozzle. The machine is very rare, especially in the USA. 240 volts of suction together with an awesome power head.

Well Thank You Richard:
I can't wait to share the NEW Vacuum Museum with all my fellow vacuum collectors at the next Vacuum Cleaner Collectors Convention in May (14, 15, 16) 2020.

I am planning on sharing all the Literature, Owners Manuals, Brochures, etc. that I have, so people can see. I literally have file cabinets (three) full of this stuff. Folks can go walk over to Wal-Mart (it's 500 feet away from the Vacuum Museum) and scan & print any of it they are interested in. I could write many books with all the information in the "library". The 1910 Hoover owners manual is a riot - they told people how to sew new bags for the thing.

Of course, almost any vacuum collector is invited to visit the Museum any time. Just give a call first, as I am now a "one man show". If I know you're coming, Donnie can help with the front of the store while we're in the Museum plugging in cleaners.
