Well for me it's my Kirbys! I realize that they're not everybody's cup of tea, but for me there's nothing like the feel of a quality metal vacuum in my hand. With my two G series Kirby's I can hear the brushroll beating the carpet at 3900 Rpm. That's how I know my carpet is being truly deep cleaned. I also love the sound of the powerful motor and the sound of the constant whoosh of air moving through the machine by that huge fan. It sort of sounds like a jet engine. And that's why I love Kirbys. |

As for my favourite older brand of vacuum, I can't decide between Hoover and Kirby |

Can't choose between just one, I have three favorite Kirbys.
My favorite contemporary is my Kirby Ultimate G Diamond Edition. I love its power and its Delicate Switch, which cuts the motor to half power. Makes great for cleaning up hair from haircuts or manscaping, without tearing your skin off! I also really like results of its shampoo system. My carpets still look new(ish). My favorite vintage model is between my Kirby 515 and Kirby Dual Sanitronic 50. I love their power, as well as their light weight and small profile. As uprights, they get into tight corners very well, under lots of furniture easily, and leave beautiful Kirby lines on the carpet. And they are way older than me!!! The 515 is a loud beast, while the Sanitronic 50 is more quiet yet performs just as powerfully. Kirby!!!!! |

It would be the Fantom Fury! I owned one when I was a little kid. That thing was amazing! It was sleek, quiet and pulled out LOTS of dirt from our carpets! Its dual-cyclonic technology (licensed to Fantom from Dyson) used 2 powerful cyclones to capture dirt and debris.
Sadly, my parents got rid of the Fury when we moved out of our apartment in the summer of 2001. In addition, Fantom made some disastrous business decisions and ended up going out of business later that year. Nowadays, these vacuums are hard to find. Even finding a Fantom in excellent condition is rare! And that's why I love the Fantom Fury. It holds a special place in my early childhood, and I truly feel that it is a masterpiece of a vacuum cleaner. |

Decisions, decisions. As far as cylinders go, that's any easy one. Sebo D4 every time.
For uprights, I would agree that the Electrolux 500/Twin style cleaner is hard to beat. I've always considered these to be the high point as far as uprights are concerned, with things starting to go downhill after that. |

Well, considering I own four Kirbys (my grilfriend would say I own three as she claims the Heritage 1HD as hers) and two Electroluxes, Kirby win the popular vote. I love the sheer power of my three Kirby G series vacuums (two G6's and a G5) but their accessories leave a lot to be desired. For that reason, I also like the versatility and maneuverability of the Electrolux canisters. If I mix and match tanks and accessories, my favorite Electrolux combination for doing the carpeted areas would be my Super J (just because it's a little more powerful) with the PN1 and its teal telescoping wand on the PN4's plastic hose.
If I had to pare my collection down to the absolute bare bones (which I'm not going to do in the foreseeable future), it would consist of the above mentioned Electrolux combo along with the rest of the 1205's teal accessories and my Sidekick and the better of my two G6's and none of the Kirby accessories. |

For me, it's Kirby as well. The Classic III is the one I grew up with.

I can't really choose one, but overall I would say to grab and use it would have to be an Electrolux model G.im using the Hospital G now. |
