Mine would have to be the Rexair Model B, The Hoover Model 150, and the Air-Way 55A. The Air-Way uprights and the early Hoovers all rate right up there too. |

Some of my favorites from my collection include my Lux G, AE, and XXX; Electro-Hygiene 903, 80, and 966; Hoover 28, 29, and 82 Constellation, Filter Queen 350, Regina 39; and my Lewyt 40 and 90. Some of my favorites that I DON'T have, include Kenmore Torpedo Tank (preferrably model 116.730); Hoover models 825, 150, 26, 63, and Aerodyne; Electro-Hygiene 285 and 950; Galaxie Prestige 990; Silver King; Apex; and a few Westinghouse tanks and uprights. Actually, there are so many ones that I do like that it would be easier for me to make a list of the ones I don't like!! Jeff |

I would have to vote for Kirbys as wellI would like to run into a 511-what I used while growing up and was bought the year I was born from a DTD salesman on their "van campaigns"-knocking doors to get a sale-they still do it today. |

My fav vacs are the Kirbys. Mainly the earlier Sanitronic styled (DS50 is my fav) and then the Classic series and the Tradition. I also like the Royal all metal uprights that closely resemble the older styled Kirbys. I also have a soft spot for the traditional styled Eureka uprights and the Hoover convertibles. |

Gotta go with the Kirby 500 series, for two reasons -- a 519 was the start of my collection, and more importantly, because my grandmother had one just like it when I was a kid. As for canisters, I'm fond of my trusty Electrolux 1205. But that could change when I get around to rebuilding the G. Rick |

Actor Vincent Price wrote a book on art titled "I like what I know" and I would similarly say of vacuums I like what I have. There's not much I covet that I don't already have.
I'm especially fond of Electrolux metal canisters, especially the 1205 but I also like the Discovery II style uprights and if it came down to having just one vacuum, that would likely be my choice because of its versatility, incorporating the best of a canister and an upright. I also love Kirbys, especially my Heritage 1HD and Ultimate G Diamond. One machine that I used to have that makes the list is a Eureka Princess with power nozzle. The closest I've come to replacing it is a Eureka 'Ironsides' canister that I've bodged together with an Electrolux wand and PN4. |

I too am a big fan of the Air-way uprights. I have three now and always keep an eye out for more. Theses vacuums were way ahead of their time. When ever I show my collection, the Air-Way's are always the most asked about.

My favorite vacuum of all time is the Eureka victory. It’s nostalgic to my childhood, and I just love the way that they look and sound. It may not be the best vacuum ever made, but I like it.
