Come on then you lot, give me something to look out for... I like rare Vacuum's or one that shouldn't be in England... And also Commercial & Industrial ones.

What should I look out for next?

I am looking for a hoover starlight, when I do find them they are for silly money.

Yeah, those don't really tickle me to be honest... Having said that my taste often changes lol.

Dyson DC17 and DC28 Airmuscle

American DC07'14/33 vacuums have much stiffer bristles and a larger soleplate gap apparently

Dyson De Stijl vacuums and clear models
etc

Hmm, uprights are my main interest, I'll look for a DC28 I think...

A Hoover Celebrity with wheels would be a good find! Cant remember what the americans call them though.
There was a shark cylinder on ebay a few years ago that shouldn't have been. This was before Shark started to be sold in the UK, it was a factory testing mule that got sold. A collector bought it, thought it was ace, and then Shark contacted him, paid him alot of money for it and asked him to take his videos of it off youtube!

You could always just import a US vac, then buy a 110v site transformer to run it

I would import one but, the costs are more than I like Vacuum cleaner lol.

I had a Hoover Convertible once. found it outside the tip on the entrance road, with all its tools. Had a cracked chassis sadly, I swapped it for something, cant remember what

MADRAT!!! I saw a Dial a matic at the carboot for £10 last year in orange

What? Go sit in the corner and think about why you didnt buy it. Easy £££ on ebay at the very least, even a scruffy one!

Lol I wanted to!

Never had £10 at the time I remember, then as soon as I got home I rushed on to MSN and bragged about it to my collector friends lol

Another rare vacuum I saw was a grey/silver Henry style numatic James! Didnt know they were rare but when I found out I couldnt get it anymore
