Hi, My friend came over this weekend to stay and I bought a few vacuums over for us to clean up.
He is called James like me but is known on here as kirby king.

Here are some of the vacs we worked on.

For helping me out I gave him a few....
Well he was 21 last monday!!!

Hope you like the pics!

James

Wow,
James I hope your doing well.
We really ought to arrange to meet up, will let you know when we are next free to come across when I figure out when we are not on holiday and you are free.

Vacs of my childhood.

You have some amazing ones.

My grandparents had that Hoover ALpina 1200.
My aunt had a 612 and a neighbour had that Lux Dolphin at one point.

Fab to see them all again.

I SO wish I had a Turbomaster Softbag to complete the set.

See what this year brings to the collection. Who Knows?

Rob

Hi Rob thanks for that.
Yes we will have to sort a meeting soon.

I have the tools for the Turbomaster to.

Great collection there... not sure what some of them are, you didn't put names to all the pics? Are any like that Hitachi on Youtube. I'm always interested in the sound and noise from different makes/models.

Hello there james
that is a really nice dd that you have. I wonder if the UK versions sound similar to the US version since the turbomaster sounds a little like the conquest here.

Yes I agree, just do not recognize all the British models or styles.
So brand name and year on anything that anyone posts. is good.
Just my thoughts and feelings!
Norm

Mini vac meet thingy!!

James,
What great pictures. I loved the Z80 Electrolux. What is the age of that machine? I also noticed how similar the rug tools were on the different tank machines. Thanks for sharing.
Rob

Good god James,

So many vacuums with memories for me there. My first child minder had that Hitachi Powerhouse, my Mum's best friend had the TP2, the woman next door to my child minder had the maroon lux and my grandparents had a 610. Thanks for posting these - much appreciated!

And I notice you're in Derby. I was there not too long ago wandering around the Westfield Centre - a bit posh isn't it? They're supposed to be building one of these near me but so far, it's not happening!

take care,
Chris

I had to sneak them into the house and hide them from my mum lol

I'm off the scale on the jealous rating right now! I'm 19 on Wednesday but highly doubt I will get any vac related presents. James, are you on MSN? Fancy a chat at some point?
