Looks around, guess I'll go first

I'm currently using my Kenmore 4.5 canister and my GE swivel top and for upright vacuuming I'm using my updated Kirby Omega and my Hoover WindTunnel Deluxe. That's this rotation of drivers. The Kenmore remains static throughout the many rotations as it just works great for most needs.

Upstairs is TriStar çxl, downstairs compact c9.
I've used Patriot a couple times. Ive been using classic 3 with legend bag. In areas I work on vacuums shark it's got cyclonic power and doesn't lose air.
My wife uses rainbow silver in mint condition with weasel werk 360.

It changes, for no real reason.

I mainly use my Kirby G6 for general cleaning, but my Kirby Heritage II definitely gets a fair bit of use as well.

A few years ago, a Kirby G3 was I owned and it served me well. Still, it's nice having more options now.

A Hoover Elite 350

with the front conversion tools. It doesn't have much suction but enough to get the job done. I like the earlier lower amp Elites.

I've been using my Hoover 584 since I have a ton of disposable bags for it.

Oh so many options . . .

for a daily driver. I'm currently relying on my Kirby Legend II for deep cleaning. Although I have a number of G-model Kirbys to pick from, the Legend II is my favorite from that era of Kirbys. It has plenty of power, and the latest Kirby hepa bags are super good. Besides, the Legend II is a good-looking model--one of the prettiest.

Another upright I depend on for quick touch-ups around the house is the Riccar Supralite Premium R10P. This is a nice vacuum. I would recommend it to someone looking for a lighter upright that can do a nice job and zip around with ease. I got mine with a great deal when I traded in an Oreck.

For a canister cleaner, I like the Miele C3 Marin. I bought an adapter to fit the end of the hose that allows me to use attachments I prefer from other cleaners.

It has been mixed up until about a week ago. I found a nice 1cr at a vac shop that just needed a cord. It has been rebuilt, with a plastic fan and tan bag with no patch. For bare floors it varies but I have been using my Superbroom alot.

I like having choices.

Having recently acquired both a Kirby Legend II and a Heritage II Legend, I've been playing with them a lot recently but my Electrolux Discovery II with SideKick adapter remains my go-to upright. But that doesn't mean I don't use an Electrolux canister on occasion.

For the past month or so, I have been using a team of Dyson Cinetics: UP14 Total Clean and CY18 Animal, both bought NIB.

Tomorrow, however, my Sebo X7 Premium “Boost” in white arrives, and that will be my new daily upright. It’s the contemporary counterpart of your X1! Cool!

Changes every other week,

rivstg1's profile picture
Since I have a nice sized collection, I like to use them, so, they are rotated regularly . Last week was using my newly revamped Hoover 61 on carpets and Miele U1 for hard floors and counters /upholstery . This week was change time, so Kirby Classic III with dust pad on for hard floors ( works great) & Royal metal upright ( in baby blue) 886 for carpets but also using FQ majestic 360 for upstairs dusting duties . :-)

Or so they say! I don’t really have a daily driver per se, as I don’t vacuum daily! I take it by spells, and have many vacuums I can choose from. Lately my main go-to vacs have been my older Rainbow D-4 SE, and little Dynamite II upright for quick pick ups, an Electrolux Olympia One, and my ever-faithful Electrolux XXX. That’s my current vacs I grab. Otherwise, when the notion strikes, I’ve grabbed my Perfect C101, any of my plethora of Electrolux tanks, even my Commemorative Edition. I have a newer Rainbow E2 Black, a gorgeous Metropolitan stainless professional, a GE Roll Easy, an Admiral, multiple Hoover convertibles and suitcase portables, etc. The list just goes on and on!
