What vacuum cleaner do you have?

[maytog77]

Well.....considering I am a vacuum cleaner collector

first and foremost. I have a collection of 175 machines, ranging from the 1910's to my childhood of the mid 90's. I rotate what I use, and most of what I use are either Hoovers or Eurekas from the 60's or 70's. But if I am in a mood for somthing diffrent, I will pull out a Kirby or a Lux, or maybe a Compact or Airway.

This Howard Johnson's skybox I live in barely has room for dust much less sweepers. But I still have the Hoover Spirit powernozzle I bought used in the late 80s. Well, I have most of it. 5 of the wheels are new (yes I know it only has two at a time). Hose, switch, motor brushes also new.

Probly noisier than it has to be but that's OK. If it lasts a couple more years I'll be deaf and won't care how noisy it is. That is, assuming *I* last a couple more years.

Turbomatic Tom, X-raytech, Jae DeVine,

Tom, I have a Eureka model 1279 rotomatic power team with that same thumb wheel in burgundy (brandywine).
X-raytech, did you get either Hoover at Gimbles, Hornes, or Kaufmans?
Jae, did you get the hoover Celebrity at Thurstons?

Anyone heard from

a UK member named Ibasiac?

 

[logixx]

Yes, is Ibasiac on here as well? Love his videos.

 

[xraytech]

Vacerator,
I'm not sure where the non self propelled Concept came from, but the PowerDrive one came from the Hoover Store in the Great Southern Shopping Center

 

[vacerator]

great southern center, logix, re; Ibasiac,

Xraytech, I was born there. We lived in Plum. We left when I was six.
Logix, I saw him in archive photos of a meet somewhere. Unless it was just a T shirt he mailed a member here in the states. The guy on the photo looks a bit younger.

 

[abcomatic]

Here is what I have: Hoover upright, 1958 Hoover Constellation, 1979 Kirby Classic and a Majestic model Filter Queen.

Our daily driver is a Hoover Model 68 I found at an estate sale for $5 several years ago.  It also came with a huge lot of Hoover and generic C-type dust bags.  Here's a link with pics.  Scroll down to reply #18.

Many people choose Dyson or Hoover vacuum cleaners.
So, I am pleased with my Eureka (my wife and my daughter too).
We use it for a year and it works well. It is handy because it's cord-free,
lightweight and has two modes.
I found this nice review: https://vacmux.com/eureka-nec122a-cordless-2-in-1-stick-vacuum-review/
The main thing is that this vacuum copes with its tasks.

Since this was first posted

I was given a whole collection so I now have around 600 to 700 machines, I recently bought a Numatic James which I LOVE!

- Hoover Constellation (ready to go back to the box and back to my husband`s collection and hopefully I`ll forget that thing once existed)
- Dirt Devil Reach 360° Pro forgotten in it's original bag deep in the closet and ready to be used if someday I have to vacuum something that will destroy the vacuum or to give to somebory that can't afford anything better.
- Bissell Zing Bagless that I love. Amazing performance for a vacuum that costs only $49.
- Black and Decker Dustbuster Flex with floorhead. EXCELLENT for quick pickups, extremely powerful for a cordless and with an interesting "somewhat mini canister" design. I bought it expecting nothing more than the obvious use for a dustbuster. Several times I grab it to clean a tiny area (for example around
my ashtray on my desk) and ended up vacuuming the whole house using only it because it's really fun to use.
- Ecovacs Deebot Ozmo. Best robot I've ever had or seen in operation. It also mops the floor.
- Kärcher WV50 Plus, window vac. basically a sink squeegee that came from a sci fi movie. For years I thought that thing was the silliest and useless vacuum one could ever imagine, until the day some friends at Kärcher sent me one for free and I fell in love with it.

I have a Sanitaire SC887 that I bought around '97, and a Euroclean GD930 (used most often) that I got in '06. Both use the Eureka VibraGroomer brush roll.

I also have a now defunct Rainbow from the mid 60's, and a Hamilton Beach Handi-Vac from around 1950

 

[fan-of-fans]

My daily drivers area a 1997 Eureka 1934A, which is basically a plastic F&G upright. I like how it sounds and I use the Arm & Hammer bags which are quite big and never smell.

And most often I use a Kenmore Progressive bagged upright with direct drive brushroll from 2008, and a Kenmore Progressive bagged canister from 2012. Those two use HEPA cloth bags and have issues with smelling sometimes.

I also have a Kenmore Home Cleaning system from the 80s which is a wet/dry vac or carpet cleaner. Plus I usually use a 5 gallon Shop Vac I got in 97 to clean the car.

I also own a vintage Hoover Slimline in lime green and a Hoover Constellation.

I have an Electrolux, but cant be bothered using as any regular cleaner and buying those expensive bags. I also have a Kenmore Quick Clean that I can fill the dust bin in no time with all my dogs shedding. I hate to vacuum, hurts my back, find absolutely nothing enjoyable with having to vacuum.

Kirby Tradition and a Kirby G5, Dirt Devil hand held for the sofa and the cars, a ShopVac and a Craftsman shop vacuum.  Love my Kirbys.

 

[tolivac]

Kirbys and Royal metal uprights for me-Lux Platinum canister,Sebo canisters,NSS M1 canister-the list could go on for canister machines-and central vacuums-freestanding-used with the hose in the utility inlet.The most powerful "canister" vacuum out here along with the NSS Pig.All of these are bagged--HATE bagless vacuums.
