Reflections

Eluxurious is getting near to its second anniversary, and I have to say I've quite enjoyed every moment of administering it. I can't remember exactly when or why I wanted to create my own personal vacuum collection showcase, but it had been building up for some time, and I'm satisfied with having shared one of my favourite hobbies with the world, as it were.

I still have more than a few models in my collection that are waiting to be featured, and some of the content on this blog will no doubt be revised and/or expanded upon. I'm also sure that I'll find some new and interesting content to add. As for adding more models to my collection, I'm not sure. Right now, my financial situation doesn't permit me to do it, but I can't rule it out completely for the future. As I mentioned in my Discovery Advantage post, however, I do want to concentrate on the machines I have. I still have my Diplomat restoration waiting, for example, and I definitely want to completely disassemble one of my uprights this year (I've never worked on an upright before).

One of the biggest changes in my vacuum collecting and usage habits over the past several years has definitely been my interest in newer Electrolux and Aerus models. At one time, I was only interested in collecting and using vintage machines, but that's not so anymore. Mind you, I still do like the vintage models, and still put them to use on occasion, but I'm much more drawn to newer models these days. If I do add any more vacuums to the collection, they'll definitely be newer models. 

Speaking of newer (i.e. released in the past 20 or so years, give or take) models, my cleaning team for this holiday season was (and still is) the Lux 6000 and Lux Guardian. These are my favourites out of all my models for everyday use; the 6000 somewhat more so than the Guardian, because it's the only upright of this type that I have. 

At any rate, I look forward to another year of chronicling my hobby. Happy Electroluxing and/or Aerusing to all, and Happy New Year.
