For me it's the Dyson DC03. It may have weak suction and an odd design, but in my experience it picks up really well, and it's just a great everyday cleaner. What's your 'illegal' favourite vacuum?

My "illegal" favorite vacuum..
is my Regina Housekeeper Plus. They managed to be both innovative while also being some of the most lousily built upright vacuums in History. Mine is mint and was maybe used once before I purchased it. I really enjoy using this machine and the Regina Enviro-Guard bags actually perform well, it's just delicate as all Housekeepers are so I'm extremely cautious each time I take it for a drive. I'm a service manager for a vacuum shop and an enthusiast so I maintain all of my machines meticulously by default, but I have to take extra special care of my Reginas.

My Dyson V7 cordless. I bought it during COVID quarantine to vacuum up cat litter in our master bath. Found out it does a good job doing touch up vacuuming of the whole house. We have a 2000 square foot house mostly carpet and it does a great job, can vacuum the whole house on one charge for quick touch up. I felt that cordless vacuums should not have the power that a plugged in kind would. This one surprised me.

The earlier Dysons such as the DC01, DC02, and DC04 I really like. Dyson back then seemed to make decent units despite the drawbacks the inherent to dual cyclone bagless design.
While I know Fantoms have a sizeable following, the practical part of me wants to keep away from them due to all their problems but I can't help but like them. Being a kid in the 90s and obsessed with vacuums made me very fond of them. | ||

I personally love the Shark Rocket DuoClean HV381. Yes, I know, it's a Shark, and a stick vacuum no less! But it works perfectly for my living situation.
It's corded, so no worries about battery wear. It's got the traditional bristle brushroll (non Zero-M) DuoClean powerhead, and the suction is about the same as a Dyson V10 on Medium suction setting. My current home has mostly hardwood floors, mats, area rugs, and hardwood stairs, and I find it does a good job on all surfaces. Plus the brushrolls can be taken out, maintained and clean out the powerhead easily. The only thing I don't like about it is that it has no HEPA Filter on the exhaust, only a cloth micro filter, and Shark suggests you can go 1 year before washing it. I cut a Miele Super Air Clean Filter to size instead and replace every 3 months. I picked it up at Factory Direct.ca here in Ontario for $185. I liked it so much, a year later I found the same one at Value Village for $15 and snatched it right up to keep as a spare! | ||

One of my favorite vacs is the Dirt Devil Vision
Specifically the older Swivel glide models. I don't own one, as they can be very rare, but I have seen a couple in person and I would like to get one because I currently don't own a bagless vacuum. I also want one of these dreaded machines because I want to see if they are as bad as people really say. (I'm sure it isn't) I like this machine partly because of how it looks, I'm not sure what it is, but something about that machine's design is appealing to the eye.
The picture below is just one I found on the internet and I don't own that machine.

I've noticed Oreck brought those machines back as the Discover. I haven't used one yet and I don't know what all has changed other than the handle.
