My favorite vacuum cleaner is
I would have to say my favorite vacuum cleaner is the Kirby model C. Having said that I would love to find the very rare Kirby Utility hand vac. I'm fortunate to have a Kenmore Imperial (Bug eye) in my collection. The picture of the Kirby Utility is from the collection of James Brown.

My 1984 Dyson Cyclon 1000. There can't be more than 5 left in this world. There were more model O Hoovers made than this machine. Mine is new. James Dyson has a new one. That's probably all the new ones that exist.

Hoovers...
My favorite vintage vacuum is the Hoover model 28 for sentimental reasons. As a small child, I would always visit my local vacuum store and ask how much the salesman there would want for the Hoover model 28. "Its not for sale!" He would always say, when he said this, I always got disappointed. The salesman was eventually transferred to another store because the pay was not enough to survive on so the repair technician took ownership of the store. I asked the repair technician how much he would want for the model 28 and he said $100 so I bought it. I also like the Kirby model C, would anyone be willing to sell me theirs?

Wow. This is surprisingly difficult as there are so many variables and any decision is colored by more than a touch of sentimentality. In terms of machines I no longer have, my orange late '70s vintage Eureka Princess tops the list. It was the first canister vacuum I ever used that had a power nozzle and I really wish I still had it. Of the ones presently in my collection, I have to divide it between uprights and canisters. For uprights, the nod goes to any of my Electrolux twin motor uprights. They're just such versatile, convenient and powerful machines. That said, honorable mention has to go to my Kirby Heritage that I rebuilt last year. I just put a lot of work (and perhaps too much money) into it to make it the way I wanted it to be. Canisters are a little more difficult and this is where sentimentality comes in. I'd have to pick one of my Electrolux 1205s, even though I have a couple of newer, more powerful 'Lux canisters in my collection. The question then falls to which power nozzle I would pair with it and that's an easier question. A shiny PN2 would carry the day.
