There's Quite A Few Actually....
Mostly, my Kenmore Heavy Duty Plus Self Propelled. It took me years to track this down. Kyle ended up having one and gave it to me.
-Hoover 1030 -Hippo Commercial Shoulder Vac -1990's Dirt Devil Stick Vac -Dirt Devil Deluxe -Eureka ESP Model 2011 -Tan Hoover Floor Washer -Mint Green Kenmore PowerMate Canister | ||

You had a HOOVER model O? Do you have any pictures of yours? If so do share! My all time biggest regret was selling my Hoover model 800 from circa 1934. But I do regret selling some other stuff. Like my Kirby Ultimate G, or Rainbow E2, or VitaVac. | ||

I sort of regret trading my two Eureka canisters to Brandon (@animebsd), because of the fact the power nozzle on one of those was also licensed to Rexair between 1974 and 1980. But I didn't have a single working Royal all-metal upright until then.
Now ... I wish to find me an original 1980 Rainbow D3A with its unaltered R-1024G power nozzle (with decal represented as five stripes above and company name below). But since I don't have a real picture of a 100% original D3A with power nozzle, then I'm using one of a dark brown D2 (picture by @dwhdarren97) with its unaltered R-1024F nozzle. ~Ben

I think I will miss my Classic Omega when I sell it (or part it out). It has a non-original bag and the motor needs new bearings or something, so it's not like I'm committing a crime by giving away it's good parts to a better cause. I just need to get rid of a couple Kirbys because I need to keep my collection down to 5 vacs or so. | ||

I dont think a Sanitaire could outclean a Kirby... And Davis, I think the vacuum you may be talking about os a Heretage. | ||

The two vacuums I miss the most are a Hoover 28 and a turquoise Electrolux G. The Hoover was in virtually pristine condition without a scrath on it. Even the beautiful striped bag had a crisp newness about it. The Electrolux was also in excellent condition and was so blissfully quiet. | ||

I found the pic with the Kirby, but it only shows the handle! Silver bag, red lettering, black handle, orange-red lettering, only says Kirby at the bottom.I think it was around 82? Could be totally full of crap on that too.I do remember it said turbo on it somewhere.I have the sander that came with it still.

Ah turbo sander was a tool. There was a kirby model called the Heritage "turbo" but thats different entirely. The heritage 2 Legend was made late mid 80s. | ||

I can think of a few, actually ... 1. My Mom's Kirby 511 and Hoover Convertible U4005 2. My Grandma's Eureka Easy Glide 210A 3. My Eureka Emperor 1212A (and its Panasonic counterpart) -- got rid of both of 'em due to lack of parts 4. My Hoover Convertible 69 5. A General Electric Upright that I had (I think it was a U7 but not sure) 6. My Premier U8 and my Singer Golden PowerMASTER (both of which I got rid of when I was much, much younger and not yet a collector!)
I could go on ... but I'm gonna stop otherwise I'm gonna run out of tissues! | ||

That's easy, my Kenmore canister with power nozzle from the early 80's, oh and the Hoover Convertible that I loaned to a friend, and never got back. | ||

I gave up several when I moved into my currant, much smaller, apartment. There were,
Tri Star DXL with a really good replacement pn. Filter Queen X-31. Kirby D80 with mini emtor and HII bag. Kirby Classic III with mini emtor and Heritage bag. Kirby D50 trimmed in Tradition Blue with a mini emtor and Tradition bag. Should have kept them all... I could have found room. Maybe if I 'knocked through' to the neighbor's second bedroom. I'm sure they would not have minded. Justin | ||
