I've been curious for a while now and there hasn't been a thread about it yet so I would to hear from some of you.
As for me? Well, green is my personal favorite color on a vacuum. Particularly the petrol kind like the Miele C3 Alize or the Panasonic Performance Plus Platinum MC-V7348 for example. But really, I like any type of green on vacuums. Especially the brighter ones like the Kenmore 2621 or the Sebo X4 in spring green for example. Black is really close, I always loved vacuums that are black in color as I was growing up. I don't think I have a least favorite color, I thought I did at first but not anymore. Although I really don't like vacuums with colors that would easily get sun damaged. Would those two be my preferred color of choice to have, mainly no. My overall prefer choice of color to have on a vacuum just like I would have on all of my appliances and vehicles is gray/silver. Gray in my opinion is such a good looking color. For example, I really wish I could say the Panasonic MC-V7722 (or MC-UL862) and the Riccar RPU-B2 are my favorite from those lineups since they're both black. But, I like the Panasonic MC-V7720 (or MC-V7721) and the Simplicity SPU-B2 version the best since they are both gray. So yeah, I would like to hear about yours and why you do on here. |

Green does usually look good on vacuums. My personal favorite is the jade green on the hand vac below, although the camera makes it look more like blue.

I really like the darker colours on vacuums particularly red or blues |

I do like the matte burnt orange and glossy black of the Eureka Brushroll Clean With SuctionSeal AS3401A (name just rolls off the tongue doesn't it?)
I also like the burgundy color on the Eureka Altima. Also the cherry red and chrome accents on 1950's vacuums like the Atlas are pretty top notch as well. |

I actually like pure white! Has kind of a “clean” and “hygienic” look for me. My only concern with white vacs is the potential for yellowing of white plastic in sunlight. So many old white Eureka canister parts and tools ended up yellowing over the years. But I think that has to do with the kind of plastic used. My white Miele C3 FreshAir special Canadian edition seems to be made of a sturdier plastic that won’t yellow.
I also love the old 1960’s Eureka cleaners that came in Lagoon Blue. So I guess after white, my second favourite is any shade of blue, like the light blue Miele Blizzard, or the dark blue Sanitaire blue line commercial vacs. My third choice: definitely green! Especially dark hunter green Hoovers and Kenmores! But I must say the new Miele Petrol Green is beyooooteeful!!! |

Wow! That’s a tough one right there. I guess it all depends on the vacuum for me. I know that sounds rather silly, but I like certain colors on say, a Hoover Convertible (grass green U4127), whereas on other machines I like different colors. On the Electrolux vacuums, I like the clean looking metallic colors, such as the gold on the 1205 Golden Jubilee/1401 Super J; or the chrome variations as you see on the UltraLux CE models. The old Royal tanks, I like the reds; and yellow Electro Hygiene vacs. So I can’t really specifically pinpoint just one color as my favorite, just all depends on which vacuum you’re talking about!

Navy blue is my favorite color. I have a hard time resisting vacs are navy blue. LOL.
I usually only buy dark colored vacs, I don't have any all white vacs in the home. Lately, I seem to have stumbled amongst several Candy Apple red models. LOL I've enclosed a couple of the blue models and also a recent photo of all the red colored ones I own. |
