The hum of a Hoover, the drone of a Dyson are music to his ears, and earlier this month – frustrated by the nation's failure to recognise the importance of vacuum cleaners in society – he opened the first museum dedicated entirely to them. Visitors have been turning up to the exhibition on a shopping drag through the former coal mining town of Eastwood, Nottinghamshire, in numbers he can't quite explain. Perhaps they come because vacuum cleaner obsession is a more widely-suffered condition than previously suspected. Or because James' love for the machines is so deep, genuine and, in its way, touching. Or, maybe, it is because he's the kind of man around whom there's always a buzz. "I've been fascinated by vacuum cleaners since I was a small boy," he says, sitting in a work room writhing with wires and hoses. "My mum probably thought I'd grow out of it, but once I got my hands on our Electrolux I knew I never wanted to let go. We had a home help, but she didn't get to do much vacuuming."

He was eight, and desperate for a cleaner of his own, when he spotted a red Goblin 800 lying on a rubbish dump. "I took it home, wiped all the muck off it, plugged it in, and it worked," he sighs. "That was one of the most fantastic moments of my life." By the time he reached his teens James already had 30 vacuum cleaners. One by one his other interests – sport, music, books – bit the dust. "I suppose you could say that vacuum cleaners took over my life," he says. "I loved the look, the feel, the sound of them. You can't really explain it to people who don't have the same enthusiasm. It's like some people love vintage cars or clocks. For me it was vacuum cleaners." One of his party turns is to put on a blindfold and identify the host's vacuum cleaner by its engine note. Thus he can recognise the soothing whirr of the Electrolux XXX, an art deco masterpiece, manufactured from 1937-52, and one of the first machines to feature an on-board tool rack. Or the satisfying burble of the 1936 Singer R1 upright, which, with its double-speed roller, and variable nozzle, is considered by many cleaner connoisseurs to be the ultimate expression of the 'Streamline Era'.

"One of the interesting things about vacuum cleaners," says James, "is that although the basic technology hasn't changed that much, they are constantly evolving. "When they first came out they were seen as things of wonder. High society families would throw parties to celebrate getting their first vacuum cleaner. "Now we take them for granted, but to me they are as amazing as ever." He found a job as a caretaker in a Nottinghamshire community centre, where, he hoped, he could establish a perfect fusion of work and pleasure. But the wages were low, and his quest for ever more exotic hardware growing costlier by the year. The prize items of his current collection are two gold-plated American-made Kirby 'Ultimate G' vacuum cleaners (not displayed on the premises for security reasons) that he reckons would fetch £2,500 each. Well, there's a sucker born every minute, but James, who is not married, sees the real value of his 126-piece collection as its ability to tell the remarkable story of a gadget that too many of us take for granted.

Before vacuum cleaners, he points out, life was a dirty, sometimes perilously unhygienic business. Carpets, curtains and sofas had to be dragged outdoors to be beaten and shaken, and even modest homes were forced to maintain domestic staffs to keep the dust and bugs at bay. Early cleaning machines tended towards blowing rather than sucking, with the result that the grot was merely redistributed around the house. The big breakthrough came at the beginning of the 19th century, when Hubert Cecil Booth, a British engineer and inventor, came up with a powered suction device misleadingly nicknamed 'The Puffing Billy'. This hulking, oil-powered contraption had to be pulled down the street by horses, and parked outside the building to be cleaned. In a scientific paper, Booth later recounted its effectiveness. " … this really was astonishing," he wrote: "two machines took half a ton of dust out of the carpets of one of the large shops in the West End one night." A few years later W.H. 'Boss' Hoover, an Ohio leather goods manufacturer bought the patent for an ingenious upright electric-powered household vacuum cleaner from his wife's cousin, and launched the world-beating 'Model O'.
