Pink and Gray Lewyt...
My response technically belongs in the 'Vintage' forum, but be that as it may, my first childhood vacuum was a late '50s model pink and gray Lewyt canister. At the age of about four, it was the first vacuum I ever learned how to use—turn off and on, swap out the tools, open up and change the bag. That thing hung around the house until my parents moved in about 1997.

One of my childhood vacuums is what used to be my mother's Electrolux model G (it's now mine).

Thank you for the responses! It's interesting to see what vacuum cleaners you had when you were kids! | ||

We had a Compac C-2 and a Kirby DS-50 and a GE Swivel Vac. The Kirby and GE are still in the family! | ||

My mom had a 1950s Filter Queen. Then when we had wall to wall carpeting installed around 1970 she got a Regina V480 (picture credit goes to Doug Smith's vacuum website)...it did not have a power nozzle. Somehow she thought it would clean better on the new carpeting than her Filter Queen. She also had a Regina electric broom. A couple of years later (around 1972) she bought another Filter Queen (brownie) with power nozzle.
My grandmother had a Belltower Electro (pic also from Doug Smith's website) which my mom had given to her after she got her first Filter Queen). Then in the mid 60s my mom bought her a Hoover Constellation and a Hoover Handivac. Gary | ||

My mum had a vintage green Electrolux Pretty similar to this
But then when my dad moved back to Perth, he took it with him and he is the use as his vacuum until after that the motor burned out then it was replaced by a hoover, but the motor on that one burnt out as well and then he got a hoover concept one with power drive, and then that was replaced by A DC07, which he still has Unless that got replaced
The screenshot is pretty similar except this particular Vacuum actually had a cord reel

We had a red Hoover Elite when I was very little. When I was middle school, we went to the hardware store and got an orange Hoover EmPower. Not a special machine, but it’s still with my grandmas stuff. | ||

this!
My parents bought it brand new back in the day. In the late 2000s I traded them a G3 (later replaced by a sentria) and this has become a permanent part of my collection. I had it polished by a local shop a few years back. It's currently in storage.

An early-postwar (I think) Electrolux XXX (475 watts, saloon exhaust doors), and a late Electrolux model E with a cordwinder and an AE-style anti-tip piece on the swivel caster. | ||

Mine was my parent's Rainbow D4C with the PE Power Nozzle, they also had a black Dirt Devil Swivel Glide that I wish I had kept. Aside from those my Great-Grandparents gave me my green and brown Hoover Slimline that my mom had thrown away as she wasn't supportive of my hobby then. She still isn't but my my dad's side of the family has always been supportive of it. I would love to find that model of Slimline once more as it was the first vacuum I could call mine.

3 Dirt Devil Dynamites The first ones got destroyed (its a long story) but I have found 2 out of 3 of them, (having a hard time finding the same blue one) I will include a picture of the other 2, and a picture of what the blue one looked like | ||

As a kid, I technically had a lot of childhood vacuums because my mom cleaned houses, but My childhood vacuum was my moms Dyson dc14 Plus.
