Lets say you woke up one night to your smoke alarm blaring, and your house was on fire.

On your way downstairs to evacuate you passed the room where your Vacuum Cleaners were, and it would only take a moment or two to grab one in each hand, what ones would you take ?

For me, it would be my 1977 HOOVER Ranger and my 1994 HOOVER Turbopower.

To be completely honest, none, I'd rather grab the cats and get out, appliances can be replaced, lives cannot...

I totally agree (I'm going to have to stop saying that!), but I was talking in hypothetical terms.

I live alone (no pets even), so it would have to be my BeeVac Upright and my Hoover Special!

It's a fair question.

Assuming that all living creatures were safe. It's really asking, "Which 2 cleaners mean the most to you"? I've often thought about this. What cleaners could you get to?
Some ARE replacable, others, we know, are not. Please God, never put any of us in this position.

Tell hubby to get out and then go for these two.    They're near the door anyway.

Well, assuming I already got the cat out... then I'd save my Kirby GSix and the red Fairfax.
But...but, what about the Kirbys D50, 561, Legend II and Tradition???
Or... the Lux 1205, the Rainbow D3 or the Koblenz 530???
too many to choose from...

Are You Kidding?

TWO machines? Spoken like a true upright user!

For those of us who are canister people, it would be more like one machine, because by the time you gather up a canister, the wands, tools and power nozzle, you have your hands FULL. I can carry any of my canisters complete in one trip, but two would be impossible.
