Well, since the Vacuumland Forum has been closed,

Westytoploader ult g

Austin I got the ultimate G not a diamond for christmas in 2005, I don't know what it is about it, IT is a fine vacuum. I still seem to use my G4 a lot more often, they clean about the same, but i just for some unknown reason like the g4 better. When Santa is home I do use the Ultimate G. let us know what you think of your Ult. G after you use it a while. signed stuck on 4. alr2903

I have to confess....

I have the first Dirt Devil upright. Jeff's right, those early Regina's were the "new" standard that all vacuum makers had to live up to. Now to the every day user, tools on board are a must.

Jeff, you are doing good preserving that Housekeeper. I'm going to stash one up in the barn someday too.

I do like how the new Kirby's clean. Even though they are heavy, they do a excellent job of cleaning.

I guess I really wouldn't mind getting a light gray colored narrow nozzle Housekeeper, as it would bring back some old memories of a relative that had one. I would probably also preserve it and almost never use it because tehy were fragile.

My collection also ranges in everything from old hand pumped models to my brand new Miele and everything in between.

Well I'm not going to count the Vacuumland forum as dead yet. I'm sure it will return like Phoenix from the ashes and with God as my witness I'll never leave Tara again!!!

And while we're on the subject of Regina...

Here are some scans from the vacuum scrapbooks I made from age 4 to about 7 or so. I'm going with the earliest first. If you get queasy at pictures of plastic vacuums or anything Regina, now is your warning ;-)

Here's a scan from K-Mart from around '92-93 or so. That machine and the Eureka next to it weren't exactly cheap considering their build quality...

Here's another ad (I think this one might be from Wal-Mart) advertising an early Housekeeper, complete with a free Dirt Magnet hand vac, and again not exactly cheap. I prefer the square nozzle and "Dial-A-Nap" height adjustment over the later version, and if these were being offered NIB, I have to admit, I'd grab one.

Another early-90's advert featuring the lower-end 5.7-amp version, from Service Merchandise (boy, that name dates me!). I'm really eyeing the Eureka on the left, though...

Regina Housekeeper Ad...

Take a look. A REAL early Regina Housekeeper television ad on YouTube...

It's about 2:44 into the clip.

Oh, this is good timing. I just got my first vintage vacuum in the mail yesterday too off of Ebay:

A Hoover Convertible model U4007.

And this is only the beginning of the collection (just like washers for me as well)
