I liked this when I was a kid and I still do. Even the part where he said “OH CRAP” “DOUBLE CRAP” made me laugh 😂

Oh. My. God. I found this video again. I used to watch this all the time when I was a kid but could never remember the name of it when I tried searching for it. And now (incidentally after watching another video from my childhood about vacuums) it gets recommended to me. Finally I get to see it again. I don't care what anybody says about this video, I love it, and im so glad I found it once more after all these years.

Coming back and watching this is awesome thank you for making my childhood!

I watch this video when I was little. So many memories.

I remember watching this in my childhood

I remember watching this so fondly as a kid, mainly because I was obsessed with vacuums. holy crap did this hit me with nostalgia, I watched it almost 10 years later

I used to be fascinated by vacuums and watched this so many times I even started calling them ours the names in the video haha. Now I repair them :D

i remember watching this when i was way younger and I LOVED IT :D

Hello! Frequent watchers here too. Pure vacuum genius. My son and I are huge fans.

I remember watching this when I was 7. It was so weird to watch this again in 2021, at 21 years old. What made me look this up I have no idea.

Thanks for the question: We've collected them over the years. The canister was replaced by the upright. Everyone needs a dirt devil for the steps. The shop vac is for outdoor and really messy projects like deck building, concrete wall construction, etc. And you have to have a broom for sidewalks. I actually did not realize we had that many till someone suggested the project of using vacuums in a video.

When I was a kid, I swore my grandma's Kirby was alive. This vid was too funny...I always thought those inanimate objects had minds of their own!

I used to watch this video when I was little a lot and I love it! I’m also a vacuum cleaner collector too and this video was good and funny back in the day and it still is today! 😃

That little red "Rosie" reminds me of one of the most recent posts in KZfaq history, not only about vacuums, but about anything that anyone could have posted. The video, itself, does not have much KZfaq history, yet, but the man who posted it speaks very highly of his little red 1992 Dirt Devil machine. He says that the little red machine still does him good, even today, this many years later! Nobody ever advertises that level of quality in cleaning machines, anymore. These days, it's all about big suction, no loss of suction, big amperage, no need to replace bags, and many other things that are so overrated. Bear with me if I sound harsh, but I wish that department stores sell more of those such quality machines as the above said little red Dirt Devil and even older vacs that still do people good, these days. I have had enough with these throwaway quality machines that they still make, these days! That above said man is a vacuum expert with the skills, necessary to refurbish a little red Dirt Devil and have it running like a champ again and now, it sounds like it has been through a time machine after having just left the factory that was there in 1992. Now, you have to go to a small vacuum shop if you want a true quality machine like that and they are WAY overpriced! Oh well. You only get what you pay for, right? When I see that little red "Rosie," I think of a machine that does more than just small spill clean-ups. Not only could that thing go in tight areas, where the big "Stanley" would not fit without its tools, that little red "Rosie" could go in there, equipped with a brush roll that had BEATER BARS! That thing could agitate the carpet, beat the carpet, loosen the dirt in the carpet, clean the carpet, lift the carpet, and groom the carpet, where the larger machines will not fit. I can just imagine seeing that little red thing go the necessary meters it takes to go from the first floor to the second floor, then double that amount if your house had three floors. That big "Stanley" would have been a hassle to use in those areas without its tools and its brush roll would have been too large. Those large brush rolls are only for large areas. Also, that robo vac is way overrated if you think it can replace all those machines, since it is not designed to clean carpets, but only solid floors. Imagine if you can shrink the size of a 1982 Hoover Convertible, shorter than two feet tall, with a six inch brush roll, and a small two amp motor. Given the same exact designs, that thing would begin to excell where that little red "Rosie" excells...in small carpeted areas, where those large machines do not fit and it would agitate and groom the carpet. Try to beat that, robo vac.

I used to be scared of vacuums because of this video 😂

wow, this video is nostalgic to me! I used to love vacuum cleaners and have been trying to find this video for a while!

I remember watching this when i was 5 i feel nostalgic

Stanley:big five we need you Rosie:I wanna help Candice:this may be to dangerous Rosie Stanley:big five big five Big five:you called Stanley:we have a job to do

I remember watching this video, I was about 4 years old at my grandparents house in their computer, just watching vacuum videos because I was obsessed. And then I remember I saw this video and I thought it was scary, but I still finished the video. Now here I am, almost 16, and I just randomly woke up, went on KZfaq, and decided to try to find this video. I tried searching many times before but I could never find it. It almost had me thinking the video taken down. Then once I saw the mini dirt devil I knew this was the video, I clicked on it and there it was. Thank you for this little short vid, because it was defiantly one that fulfilled my childhood vacuum obsession

Does this look up anybody else’s childhood just like watching this video

That was so silly when the shop vac hose was trying to do suction on your chest which I think was giving u a kiss

this out of all the vacuum cleaner stories was my fav, damn this brings back memories, and a heep of nostalgia from when i watched this at 5 years old. Time sure does fly.

That Hoover Spirit is in nice shape.

LOL "BACK OFF STANLY"

I watch this all the time. I love it. Good job, Tim.

I know this might seem weird, yet I got the inspiration of naming vacuum cleaners from this video. I definitely remember this video when I was 8 or 9 years old, always made my day!

A classic I watched this when I was only 2 years old.

Pure nostalgia! Definitely earns its place in the vacuum hall of fame!

I was 5years old when I watched this and when i was 9 I found it again memories

I keep coming back to this! I was watching this since 2012, back when I was 3. Nothing can beat the original sweeping changes, not even the second version. This is 200% quality content :)

My son LOVES this video! Thank you!!!

everybody gangsta til your vacuum plot against you

This is the best film I’ve ever seen

I haven’t seen this video since I was 6 or 7, & I’ve been searching for it again for years

Sweeping Changes 2 is coming out early April 2022 - finally - Yay!

Why am I’m watching this at 2019 when it was in 2007

I love sweeping changes, watched this when i was 3, now i’m almost 14, thanks 4 the memoriesssss!!

pretty cool, nice to see one of those old Hoover Spirits still in use too!

Vacuum alert vacuum alert we have a vac attack

To all my fans of this quirky video, I'm sorry to say that Rosie died a couple years ago :-(

THANKS TO EVERYONE over the years that got us to over 1,000,000 views. It was unexpected but really appreciated that people seem to like this quirky comedy. I hope you will also enjoy Sweeping Changes 2 (and any of my other videos) THANKS FOR WATCHING.

I remember being super scared of this when I was 5

1:40 Mighty Dirt Devil

I remember watching this when I was 8 years old I still like coming back to it once in awhile because with my original KZfaq channel you are spired me to start making a KZfaq content and it is a reminder every time when I come back to this video I have started on KZfaq 😀

Your welcome. I'm glad he enjoys it.

This is one of the first videos I ever watched on KZfaq

It’s like all of your vacuums were causing chaos in your house

I KEEP COMING BACK TO THIS (I remember seeing this back when I was 3 or 4), and I just turned 14 on friday. This was such a great masterpiece not even the second version can beat it.

Big five LOL

My wife & I controlled the vacs. It's a matter of framing the shot. You'll notice the very tops of the vacs/broom are never shown unless they're still. For Big 5 rolling in, we placed the vac at the ending position, then gently pulled the cord to move it off camera. In editing, we ran the footage backward, giving the appearance of it rolling in by itself. If want to see one of our goofs, pause the video at 4:43 & step through frame by frame. You'll see a hand at the very top for a few frames.

I love the noise it makes when candice turns on

Yeah, Stanley's a real look! And Big 5 is such a hunk. Thanks for watching.

That kinda looked real

Ive watched this atleast once a year since 2011

Dyson is the ONLY vacuum that has cyclone technology actually, so Stanley can get his facts right next time.

Love the smart vac!

i like the normal looking vacuum best

I just got a comment the other day that said: "My 4 year old son is gifted in some areas, and he is obsessed with vacuum cleaners of all things! He LOVES your video and watched it quite often. He has named all of our vacuum's at home after the names in the video (Rosie, Big 5, etc..) and reenacts the video." I'm glad to entertain folks, but I did not expect this. Maybe some day we'll see a version with his vacuum instead of just mine. Thanks for watching.

I will keep watching your videos.😊

My childhood has returned

This was my childhood i’m so happy i found it again

I still enjoy watching this even though it’s sad

What age groups would the vacuums fall into (mental age not physical)? Mainly because it appears that Stanley is rather young (I’d say he’s a teenager, based on his actions and dialogue), Rosie is a young child, Big 5 is another teenager, Candice is an adult, and Hilda is a senior.

Candice and big 5 is my favourite characters

Those vacuums are talking that's so cool

Vac vac attack

Do you still own any of the vacuums in this video? What do you own if not?

I used to be so fuginn scared of vacuums after seeing this

Got to love that dirt devil hand vac

5:00 man seeing that then hilda come made me feel so good Idk why

VERY clever ideas!! Great work by the way! I love this video and watch it all of the time

The shop vac is my favorite

Talking Vacuums

This is a very awesome short film. I have enjoyed this version and the new version.

I was already set to produce Sweeping Changes 2 - I wrote the script, learned some green screen techniques, I learned Blender software (for special effects), etc., but then other life events got in the way. Then I re-read the script, and I did not like it anymore. So, I've written a new script with a new modern twist. I hope you all will like it.

maybe they should’ve gone with Candace’s plan and asked Hilda for advice, then this would have never happened 😂

I'm just curious I have a few questions if you don't mind: 1) What made you get a Dyson? 2) What model is it? 3) What do you think of it compared to your other vacuums? 4) Would you consider doing a 2020 version of this video? this managed to get a lot of views and since it's an older video, older videos don't get as many views as videos that be uploaded in recent days I really look forward to hearing your responses :D

I wish there was a part 2

wow I am getting old I remember when this was brand new 11 years ago

Awesome job sir i would so love to see a part two to this

You should make an updated version

Sweeping is a hard shit

Did he say double crap lol good replacement for cussing

I 💗 this video!😊

Yes vacuum cleaner

I remember when I was younger and watched this

3:57 Big Five voice sound like Storm Trooper from Star Wars

I loved watching this in my childhood

he is skrewd.

@timgallagheractor Yup. Root Cyclone Technology ensures no loss,of suction. I own one, a DC33. You should do a sequel to "Sweeping Changes", where you bring a Dyson to your home. Stanley and Candice will poop themselves. Lol.

2:31 vacuums in Oklahoma

Thanks for watching and I'm glad you enjoyed it. Vacuum Genius? LOL. You might also like "Vaczilla" one from a friend of mine, which was done for the same contest. Since they won't let me put a link in here, search KZfaq for "detfilms Vaczilla" - it will be the first to come up.

1:37 that’s embarrassing when that plant gets knocked down

long time back in my old home i had 3 vacuum i had a Kirby Diamond edition dirt devil Bissell and my Armor L car vacuum cleaner when my aunt came stay at my home she bought her Oreck vacuum to clean my home before she stayed i made all my vacuum little angry my closet has a lock now my whole vacuums were on to scare my uncle and the Vacuums starting to talk to my aunt and uncle the vacuum asked never bring the oreck again even my broom calm the vacuums down

Please make a sweeping changes 2

How were the vacuums moved around by themselves? Strings?

1:38 - 1:46 saw these at a thrift store

Add a Dyson to compete with them. They'll FREAK!

R.I.P Rosie the vacuum

I think Stanley would blow a circuit. Maybe for Sweeping Changes II, we can have the robovac complain about the Dyson.
