Pretty much everything.

[TheVacuumboy]

Could you make a video of the orange oreck,the royal power cast and all the other upright royals

[jeffward00]

I love it

[Andrewincars]

GREAT COLECTION ! thanks for sharing :)

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

Reggie, I'd like to see you do a Royal vs. Royal vs. Royal test.

[compactc9]

@ClassicTVMan1981X I don't really do the VS. videos with "test dirt" and all that, I'm just not pouring all that crap in the carpet.

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

@compactc9

OK, then, could you please cut a video of your Royal 607 and Stark 801 as solo videos? When I say 607 I am talking about your gray and blue Royal with the standard headlight.

[compactc9]

@ClassicTVMan1981X That one is a 883, its all blue.

[ClassicTVMan1981X]

@compactc9

Thank you... could you please get me the serial #s off of all your metal Royals for me, please? Example: Model 888, Serial G79B015663 (July 1979); Model 883, Serial E87C005242 (May 1987); Model 9700, Serial A94156742C (January 1994).

[MrSpanglersean]

How old is your oreck compact 9

[Vacmasterthegreat]

what is the vac on the right at 2:24?

[compactc9]

@Vacmasterthegreat The brown one? Thats a Delco (made by GM! lol) from about the late 1930s. Very odd vacuum, it needs its own video at some point.

[Vacmasterthegreat]

@compactc9, cool, but I ment the plastic looking upright next to that.

[compactc9]

@Vacmasterthegreat Kenmore Duo Power. Thats the early TOL model - 2 peed with a cord winder.

[OneWorldGoneAry]

my god and i thought i had alot lol

[Vacmasterthegreat]

This is a very "respectable" collection. I wish I could display all my vacuums so nicely, but I don't have many noteworthy vacs. Do you use all of these vacs or are the nice ones for show?

[vacguy99]

can i please have the eureka model M and amway?

[vacguy99]

where is this pardise from above!?!

[ChevyGuyV8]

Lets have an update!! :-D

[chevyboy105]

What model is the yellow eureka canister by your boxed model xxx electrolux?I just got one but its bright orange.Does that one have the bag guard and power selector??

[TheVacuumkid]

how did you get a concept 2!!!

[compactc9]

I found it in a thrift store quite a while ago. Its really not in good shape mechanically and I really haven't had the urge to do too much with it yet other than clean it up.

I noticed you like Rainbow D2s a lot, I have a really nice brown one that I found on CL this summer.

[TheVacuumkid]

Cool! Does it have the power head plug?

[compactc9]

Yeah, and it has the P/N and the rest of the tools with it.

[weswmrwebb]

You... are... my... HERO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!! How did you amass such a luscious collection and how long did it take you? I'm quite certain that room would be my personal heaven.

[compactc9]

I don't know how I did, just managed to find them and get ahold of them. It takes up about half the basement, and now there are somewhere around 400 of them.

[bigcarguy69]

Your collection is killer. I collect vacs also. I have about 31 in my collection. One small piece of advice to all collectors. Never store your vac's that have power heads with the hose in the nozzle. The bend that is always on it will crack it over time and ruin your hose. It happened to me so I wanted to warn everyone about it. Thanks

[stars1976]

ok i added you i am japantokyoblue99

[stars1976]

i was going 2 save for a camera anyway. lol

[stars1976]

if you have a yahoo messenger i can show you pics of all my cleaners. If not then i am gonna start to save for a video camera.

[compactc9]

add me compactc9 on there too

[stars1976]

You should of seen the paper bag that i changed in it it was full beyond belief

[compactc9]

Oh nasty! You should make a video or take some pics of the vacuum tho.

[stars1976]

it is metal

[compactc9]

Ok cool. I like the metal Eurekas a lot, they have a nicer feel to them.

[stars1976]

metal base and it feels like the handle is metal as well i will have to check and get back to you on that. I will check this afternoon bc i am going to start work in my new canister vacuum i got yesterday from a thrift store and i will let you know tonight.

[stars1976]

The one i have is really similar to that but it is not commercial and the hood is regular metal on mine but same features.

[compactc9]

Is yours a metal or plastic base? Mines old enough that its metal.

[stars1976]

do you have any information on the orange eureka upright i see at 1:05? Because my friend trash picked me one of those but mine is yellow and it looks the same as ur orange eureka.

[compactc9]

Orange with a chrome hood? Thats a Commercial Eureka from I believe the early 70s, sitting next to it is a metal base Sanitaire.

[Jmk1145]

I use to have an extensive collection of vacuums. Was collecting them from the time I was 3. I had quiet a few of the ones you had. It's a shame I lost them all in a house fire.

[bpmagruder]

do i see a "kirby satronic" on the shelf?

[anonslulz666]

i want that demo miele s514

[Brandotuomikoski]

Are you ever going to part with anything. There are about 187 vacuums of yours that I want. Maybe 188. Not sure. Lol. I still love watching this video.

someday my house will look like that. all I got is a 1958 kirby 518, Hoover 28, airway 88 and an original hoover 575.

[nativetexan19288]

that's a very nice PowerCast brand boat anchor you have there. But what's it doing in a collection of vacuums?? LOL

I recognize a couple of those that I brought to St. Louis in '06...still kinda miss those 913s. Oh well, they'd do nothing but sit around at my house anyway.

[jcal515081]

! ! ! ! WOW ! ! !

[loftboi]

My boyfriend said although he loves a good vacuum story, he would break up with me if my collection reached that size.

[westytoploader]

Sounds like you need to get a new boyfriend then!

[ClassicTVMan81]

Your Kirby stash looks impressive!

[deni696969]

love to have that hoover hoover

[djkain2007]

wow... i have a heritage II and i want a classic III or a generation series

[djkain2007]

i posted my comment too soon... i want your electrolux canisters, a miele canister, the kirby gIII, kirby tradition.

[Vacman117]

i have a royal power nozzle just like that

[EvilKlownz4u]

wow very nice collection

[defrankond]

im looking for a eureka like your yellow one, only in blue with a headlight like your silver and red one. i cannot find one at ALL

[kirbyheritage2]

are you "ttuee2006"?

I want your collection!!!!!!! AGH! Its so cool!

[compactc9]

No, he's a different person. You can tell because if this were his collection, the Kirbys would all be in a mirror finish... LOL

[dirtdevil96]

And could u post some vids of those orecks.

[dirtdevil96]

I want to see what vacuums are down stairs and Ialso want to see some of those sanitaires in action along with some eurekas.

[compactc9]

That was the basement, and theres really no more to see...

[PianoMann18]

Reggie,

I think my eyes fell out after seeing all these for the 100th time. LOL

Now, what about the AMAZING Riccar central?!?!

:P

Clayton

[compactc9]

Oh, that one is hanging on the wall in the garage. Will get to that eventually.

[videovac]

dude you have just about one of THE MOST INCREDIBLE collections Ive ever seen! you must do a video of some of em running i.e. that old oreck, the amway and those clear vacs. thanx for posting

[brettsomers]

Yay Reggie!

[evacguy95]

Wow reggie thats awesome. I spy the filter queen to

[fumetsuno]

All I can say is WOW...What a collection. I was put on notice that if mine is to ever reach that size there will be problems. LOL

[genmac1]

dude are those all yours!

[compactc9]

Yes, that's why they are in my basement.

[genmac1]

i didnt know if this was your work shop

[compactc9]

No this is my house.

[genmac1]

oh cool

[westytoploader]

Big honkin' collection of vacuums in a big honkin' basement in a big honkin' house...jealous of all 3! :)

[defoedude]

i have the big collection but no big honkin basement! And where did you get those wooden shelves? Did they come with?

[compactc9]

No Me and my dad built them. The house was bought new.  And the basement is about 1500sq/ft, so it isn't too small...
