I was obsessed with appliances and gadgets, and as soon as I was old enough I was dismantling anything I could get my hands on &#8211; vacuums, radios, other small appliances. I loved learning more about how things worked, why they had been designed in a certain way, and how the technology had evolved over time. People would bring me their vacuums to fix when they broke. Sometimes when friends or family\u00a0bought a new vacuum, I\u2019d be gifted the old one.<\/p>\n<p>Before long I had a collection, and over the years the machines have multiplied from the tens into the hundreds!<\/p>\n<p><strong>How many vacuum cleaners do you own?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve lost count, but I would estimate around 150. That\u2019s not including the other small appliances that I sometimes acquire &#8211; toasters, mixers, hair dryers, irons, radios, cin\u00e9 cameras, fans&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you had to pick a favourite vintage vacuum cleaner, which one would it be?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m torn between the 1933 Hoover Model 800 and the 1933 General Electric Model 111. Two striking examples of machine-age Art Deco styling being applied to high quality, high-performance domestic appliances. Some of the early Electrolux vacuums are also beautifully-designed, sophisticated machines.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"29\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/electricutopia.com\/index.php\/about\/ae04263a-eae1-4c14-b6eb-1184f9559a7f\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/electricutopia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/AE04263A-EAE1-4C14-B6EB-1184F9559A7F.jpeg?fit=1080%2C1080&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1080,1080\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 8 Plus&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1543268509&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;3.99&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.090909090909091&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"GeneralElectricModel111\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/electricutopia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/AE04263A-EAE1-4C14-B6EB-1184F9559A7F.jpeg?fit=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/electricutopia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/AE04263A-EAE1-4C14-B6EB-1184F9559A7F.jpeg?fit=688%2C688&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-29 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/electricutopia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/AE04263A-EAE1-4C14-B6EB-1184F9559A7F.jpeg?resize=300%2C300&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"General Electric Model 111\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/electricutopia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/AE04263A-EAE1-4C14-B6EB-1184F9559A7F.jpeg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/electricutopia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/AE04263A-EAE1-4C14-B6EB-1184F9559A7F.jpeg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/electricutopia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/AE04263A-EAE1-4C14-B6EB-1184F9559A7F.jpeg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/electricutopia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/AE04263A-EAE1-4C14-B6EB-1184F9559A7F.jpeg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/electricutopia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/AE04263A-EAE1-4C14-B6EB-1184F9559A7F.jpeg?resize=100%2C100&amp;ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/electricutopia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/AE04263A-EAE1-4C14-B6EB-1184F9559A7F.jpeg?w=1080&amp;ssl=1 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Would you say your hobby really sucks?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Try and make a joke I haven&#8217;t heard before.

I try to find time to keep my website and other vintage projects updated as often as I can!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Can I visit your collection?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My ultimate goal is to have a space to display my collection in public, but unfortunately I\u2019m not currently in a position to offer viewings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I\u2019ve found an old vacuum cleaner. Can you tell me what it\u2019s worth?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sorry, but I\u2019m not able to offer valuations. Put simply, your machine is worth what someone is willing to pay you for it. Value depends on the rarity and condition of your particular example &#8211; if your machine has a replacement outer bag, power cord, hand grip or other non-original parts, this is likely to limit its appeal. Some models are highly sought-after, but in most cases it\u2019s unlikely you\u2019re sat on a goldmine as the vacuum collecting community is not large!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My appearances and events Curiosity, BBC One &#8211; April 2019 Me and a selection of my vintage vacuum cleaners featured&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-8","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/PaJ7lP-8","jetpack-related-posts":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/electricutopia.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/electricutopia.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/electricutopia.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/electricutopia.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/electricutopia.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8"}],"version-history":[{"count":35,"href":"https:\/\/electricutopia.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1600,"href":"https:\/\/electricutopia.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/8\/revisions\/1600"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/electricutopia.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
