Its not the best best vacuum I own by any means but I have fond memories of it growing up because up because we had this one upstairs and whenever the maid was using it, she would always let me push it around when she was done.

My Hoover Commercial U7037. The bag on which came from one of my best friends in the world, Jonathon Radesky (HooverBoy81). It is a very good deep-cleaner. I have always loved this line of Hoovers, it's such a shame they stopped making them.

Any time Austin! Let me know if you need any help with the pulley guard installation. I'd be happy to do it for you.

Of my Kirbys, I'm kind of partial to my G5 "Frankenkirby" because in fixing it up with oddball parts (Sentria brush roll, Ultimate G bag and emptor assembly, and the G4 handle back that it already had when I got it) it's developed a character all its own. Call it "bojack" if you must, but I still like it. The two G6s are great machines as well and all three Kirbys clean equally well.

It's a much tougher call on the Electrolux canisters. Even though I prefer to use the Super J because it's more powerful and its pimped out gold "Superfly" paint job is actually growing on me, I think I'll always have a special attachment to my teal 1205, complete with all its teal attachments simply because I've had it the longest of any of my current vacuums.

Here's my favorite, a Hoover Model 68 that I found several years ago at the estate sale of a former local bank president.  It too came with a whole mess of both original & generic C bags.  The converter and tools were a gift from Fred S. & Robert S. last year.  They were bought at Dayton's Dept. Store in Minneapolis, MN in 1962.
