What vacuum cleaners do you think will be forgotten in the future? I’ll start: The Hoover ONEPWR Hepa + and its commercial variant. They don’t seemed to have last long, and were discontinued without anyone noticing. Of course, people still have/remember them now, but I don’t expect this machine to be talked about in a few years. You can also consider the Oreck variant to already be forgotten.

That's a good question. Everyone has different obsessions and specialties so I don't think there will be any truly forgotten vacuums as long as there are serious collectors and enthusiasts. Sometimes we get questions about 100+ year old machines and there's usually someone on here who at least has a clue.
But I agree, I think the cordless machines will be the first to fade from memory. The batteries just do not last long. The Sharks in particular are especially filthy. I actually think of that Oreck/Hoover regularly lol, I just don't have enough room for another vac rn. We'll have to see what the next generation thinks! 10 years ago late-model Hoover Elites belonged in the trash, now they sell for over $100 on eBay. My prediction is the Hoover Caddy Vac will eventually become a collectible oddity, and has already been moving into the forgotten category. | ||

All the cordless machines will be forgotten because there's nothing with a power cord. | ||

So apparently this Hoover ONEPOWER Hepa +/ Oreck Elevate Cordless is not forgotten just yet lol. But I have never considered the future generations of collectors. The thought of modern day Hoover, Dirt Devil, Oreck, and Eureka being nostalgic for future generations is interesting. Imagine being an older Gen Alpha person and wanting to buy a Hoover Windtunnel Tangle Guard because it was their childhood vacuum, or Tineco vacuums being considered vintage.

I, too, used to own the Oreck edition of this ONEPWR cordless vacuum; I got it for Christmas of 2020. The outer bag had a dark blue rim. I will admit, it cleaned very well, but the battery life wasn't the best. The vacuum would often die during the end of my cleaning job upstairs. And it didn't help that extra ONEPWR batteries were on the expensive side.
However, there were some other issues, too. There was a squeegee on the bottom intended to improve bare floor performance, but on laminate flooring, it produced an obnoxious scraping noise that was similar to nails on chalkboard. And, thanks to my almost bagless-only upbringing, the bagged design just didn't sit well with me. So I ended up selling the vacuum on eBay just over a year after getting it. Here is the thread I made on it. CLICK HERE TO GO TO niclonnic's LINK | ||
