Boy, that's a tough question. I was born in '97, so most vacuums I grew up with were produced during that time period. Plus, it doesn't help I've been using pre-1984 models as daily drivers for over 3 years now, and pre-1990 for probably 5. I'd like to say the late-90s line up of Sanitaires, but their design wasn't really produced in that decade. I think it comes down to either the Hoover Elite II or Eureka Whirlwind Lightspeed. I've used both models extensively and found them capable of deep cleaning carpets with also great above-floor performance. I don't think I've used enough door-to-door models from that era to really make a judgment. I had a Kirby G3 briefly, but I hear that even the G4 was a pretty drastic improvement.

Are pre 1994 but I have one that stands out to me that falls somewhere in the 1994 timeframe. I like it because it's a rare model and probably the most beautiful one I own. Actually, Bud Mattingly (PR-21) owns one as well and mentioned it in his post...anyway, it's the Electrolux UltraLux Commemorative Edition. Here's a photo or two of mine.

The Electrolux (Aerus) Platinum Edition (shown here next to the 1937 Model XXX) is one of the three all time "post 1994" favorites.

The last would be the 2001 Air-Way signature series.
