I like central vacuums the most. They're powerful and they clean carpets fine, (if you install them correctly and use a good power nozzle) the filtration is outstanding, they're quiet, and they're a good investment.

Lindhaus HF6, there's just something special about it... Which I really like.

Picture below is a vintage model from 1997, they are still sold today although the current version has seen a few significant improvements since the very first one.

the Hoover Convertible upright.  Even the later ones, in the form of Decade 80 or Decade 800.  Then, it would be the Concept.

What's a niche?

I'm unsure how a niche is defined in this case, it seems like you were going for a category while other members have gone for more a specific style.

Anyways I think backpack vacuums are kind of a niche. fairly common in the commercial sector but uncommon in the residential. I've currently got 4 with a 5th on the way.

For deep carpet cleaning, I guess my niche vacuum is a lightweight Oreck clone, like the now discontinued Hoover Platinum Bagged lightweight upright. Simple but effective low amp motor in a fan first configuration with a large up front disposable dust bag. Anything like the old classic Eureka Ultra, Eureka Boss and Hoover Elite. With the handle doubling as a dirt path to the bag. No on-board tools to complicate the cleaner and make it heavy.

For bare floor cleaning, my “niche” cleaner is anything that resembles a Swiffer Vac and Dust: any vacuum that features an unobstructed front suction nozzle paired with a disposable or washable mopping pad. That’s my niche bare floor cleaner.

@Blackheart I think he meant niche as in not popular or not very known.

I'm also a fan of the Royal Powertank canisters and All-Metal uprights, though, most of the parts are discontinued.
