Vacuum Cleaners Discussions

I have yet to see a vacuum's brushroll actually break in two.  Does the material one is made of make a critical difference over time?

The best features I've liked about brushrolls, whether wood, metal or plastic, are those that allow easy removal and replacement of brush strips and beater bars thus doing away with the need to buy a complete new brushroll when brush wear begins to effect cleaning.

Wonderful experience.  No doubt the reason in part for your career.  Congratulations on your many years in the business. 

Back then, an experience like yours and the wonderful giant vacuum, would be limited to regional news coverage.  Not like today with the mass media and communications.  I'm wondering if there is a connection with the giant HOOVER vacuum you know and the HOOVER play toy vacuums [model 63].  Might well be.  HOOVER gifted these minature likenesses of the H-63 with new HOOVER purchases as a Christmas promotion in early to mid 50's.  The model succession is HOOVER 60-61-62 [late 40's]-63-64 -called the Citation-[early to mid 50's] and then the Convertible models 31 and 65 [latter mid 50 into 56].

Thanks for sharing here.
