I think Aeoliandave is probably named after Aeolus from Greek mythology. The name is shared by three different entities, but it's most likely a reference to the son of Hippotes from The Odyssey as he's referred to as the keeper of the winds.
EDIT TO ADD:

AeolianDave was the antique pipe organ guy, right?
My first thought was that he's from and/or fond of the Aeolian Islands off the coast of Sicily but it turns out that The Aeolian Company (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aeolian_Company) was a huge manufacturer of pipe organs.

I kind of feel for these old queens. I wonder if they talk more broadly about their childhoods.

Yes, as pointed out above, the Aeolian Company manufactured pipe organs (and was named after Aeolus, God of winds.) It kind of (?) makes sense that people who are into pipe organs could be into vintage vacuum cleaners. (My partner tunes and restores pipe organs, and as I have learned these guys like all kinds of odd outdated mechanical things.) Hilarious episode 🙂

Like the flashaholics, this is an all time great.
What is the song that Frank hums? He mumbles "(something) rider." I know there's another episode where in the intro, Lemon hums a long bassline and then someone follows it with "(something) rider." Does anyone know what song this is? It's been bothering me.

Can't remember offhand, but if you tell me when in the episode I do this, I'll give you an answer.

There was a lot more “MOTHERRRR” than I was expecting in this one.

I like Shark brand vacuums because they routinely rank highest on Consumer reports and have a retro futuristic vibe in case design. I am saddened to see so much hate towards the brand on the forums. It seems they're hard to crack open and repair. Seems like there's a mix of "they don't make em like they used to" and yearning for a "simpler time." The latter being a shitty impulse the former being only mostly true.
Love this ep though.

I suspect that most collector groups like this are at least partially fueled by a heavy nostalgia and the happy feelings associated with childhood contact with whatever thing they're collecting. It's definitely something I can relate to as I get older and more and more stuff from my childhood disappears (and more people die).

Finally got around to this, but I'd absolutely watch Vacuum Battlebots, where people mod and create their own vacuum cleaners and pit them against each other

I wonder if these people consider Roombas/robot vacuums as a blasphemous existential threat to their hobby, or they're so firmly rooted in the past that they just don't care about vacuuming today so long as they can enjoy their vacuums from yesteryear.

I had the exact same thought. On one hand, most of them seem pretty self-aware about it, and "I collect this household item because it reminds me of family and childhood" is harmless and not even that weird; on the other, Attempted Aunt-Murder Anthony is enough creep for an entire episode.
Agreed that Supportive Vacuum Dad was a bright spot, though. Good work, that guy's dad!

I'm glad people liked this doc. This was probably one of the few communities that the F-plus has covered that just might be a positive influence.
I also have to recommend that people go into the doc and read the last thread in the Aeoliandave and the Twingle section. It's got a precognitive dream about vacuums and aeoliandave describing how the Twingle only comes to those who are "pure of heart and stalwart." It's a really insane thread.

Oh my god they have a whole page of videos of the different cycles of vintage washers, in WMV format to boot!
